Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Lebanon: 15 000 troops ready
2006-08-08
Lebanon is ready to deploy 15 000 troops in the south up to the border with Israel when the Jewish state pulls out all soldiers from the area, information minister Ghazi Aridi said after a cabinet session on Monday. "The government asserts that it is ready to send 15 000 troops to the south, with the Israeli withdrawal beyond the Blue Line," or Lebanon's UN-drawn border with Israel, he said. Asked about the military presence of Hezbollah which has been controlling the border area, Aridi said: "Where the army will be, it will be on its own."

#5  2x4: He's claiming that the Leb army will patrol without the "aid" of HezBeelzebub or other terrorist groups, except those who don uniforms.

You can believe as much of that as you'd like.

#4  Thought his name is Bob. I don't quite understand what the last sentence, "on its own", exactly means. Can someone shed a spark?
