File under: Hezbollah

#1 Apparently, Mr. Ban didn't get the memo that Syria and Iran a) don't want a stable Lebanon and b)don't give a rat's behind about any UN resolutions, no matter how strongly they are worded.

#2 Go ahead, BanMan. Tell 'em you'll unleash UNIFIL on them if they don't straighten up and fly right.
Oooooooooooooooh...

#4 Hezbollah is quite willing to talk forever, and they will continue to stockpile weapons and ammunition as they do it. The talking will only stop when they're ready to attack. Ban Ki-moon has nothing he can use to MAKE Hezbollah give up their weapons, so they have no intention of doing so. Now, if Mr. Moon would allow the US to run a half-dozen ARCLIGHT strikes down through the Litani Valley, we might see Hezbollah - or whatever is left of it - willing to do something besides talk.

When talk's all you have, you won't get very far. As Teddy said, speak softly, and carry a big stick. With arabs/muslims, the bigger the stick the better, and be ready to use it three or four times until they understand you're not bluffing with a busted flush.
