#5 Funny how they say nothing about the influx of weapons to Hezbollah.

Yesterday they said they saw no evidence of that.

#6 And that didn't just happen, it takes EFFORT not to see it.

#7 lol, lotp, SOOOOO true! I'm just picturing mentally some blue helmets turning the other way as the Hezzies walk past ("There's nothing to see here, please disperse"). The dark side of me hopes they fire on the IAF. All bets off, then! An act of war by the UN against the Joooos.

#8 An act of war by the UN against the Joooos.

That would certainly clarify things for those on the Israeli left.

#9 Makes me wonder what kind of naval and logistical support we are providing sotto voce to Unifil and whether we would continue after the outbreak of hostilities.

#11 TW, it might even get some people on the American left thinking differently. Don't know if I'd bet much on that but maybe a few of the more rational ones might start to get a clue.

#13 I expect this sort of posturing from the French, but am surprised to see it from the Italians. I put this down to more Prodi foolishness. I don't think Berlesconi would have sent troops to Lebanon and would castrate any general that even thought about making statements like this. By making it clear that they are only there as human shields for Hezbollah, the blue helmets make themselves legitimate targets in time of war.
