But in an interview Thursday {posted at Rantburg here} the French daily La Croix, General Alain Pellegrini said UNIFIL would act on its own if necessary. If the (Lebanese army) fails to act, we must assume our responsibilities as a UN force, he said. Someone will have to intervene, with all the consequences that this might have for the Lebanese authorities.

So I don't see any conflict between the two statements - Monday "The disarmament of Hizbullah is not the business of UNIFIL. This is a strictly Lebanese affair, which should be resolved at a national level," he said

and Thursday - "If the (Lebanese army) fails to act, we must assume our responsibilities as a UN force, he said. Someone will have to intervene, with all the consequences that this might have for the Lebanese authorities.

Two statements taken out of context used to make two big headlines. MSM Wankers.

#8 If it is strictly a Lesbian affair why are the UNFIL troops there? I bet this Commander (sic) will be the first to whine about being caught in the crossfire.

#9 The interesting thing is that all IDF troops are withdrawing today. The French and the other suckers are in the middle now. When Hezbs crawl out of their holes and resume launching missiles, they either go after the perps or suffer the incoming artillery rounds. I suppose Koffeee & his group think the result will be only a shield for Hezbs, no return fire allowed. This time, there should be massive response including napalm. If Frogs are in the middle, they better hit the pond, or suffer the consequences. Now, I realize why they all brought so many ships offshore. Want to extract their boyz when the shooting resumes.

#10 If UNFIL forces do not aggressively act to interdict Hezbollah missile launches into Israel, the IDF should have no compunctions about blowing them all straight to hell along with Nasrallah's thugs. After UN forces were caught acting like forward observers for Hezbollah in the most recent conflict, they are persona au gratin in Israel.

#11 "persona au gratin"

Heh, heh. Might bear a physical resemblance afterwards, too...
