#4 Appears that Leabanon has decided it wants to be a failed state. Even a UN force can't stop this.

Israel should notify the UN to remove it's personel as Leabanon has decided it wants war.

#5 "All intelligence gathered by the army is put at the disposal of Hizbullah but Hizbullah does not offer the same transparency to the army

Geebeez, shades of 1996 Olympics - the US Army and the FBI.

#6 This officially makes the "ceasefire" null and void.

Sorta like the UN.

#7 The UN forces will get there just in time for fireworks. No worries though, they will be led by the French and every French officer carries a white flage.

#8 "American people, you are partners in these massacres, you are partners in this war," said Nabil Kaouk, the leading Hizbullah official in southern Lebanon. "After this no Lebanese can trust an American. You are all murderers and criminals."

In the minds of your average Arab, is there anything we're not responsible for?

#9 Not so sure that we shouldn't go back to the WWII version of strategic bombardment and just level the place ala Hamburg, Dresden, Tokyo, et al.

#10 Time for carpet bombing it is time to remind these idiots why you don't want a war.

#11 In light of this, how is Israel supposed to believe that the border is being secured? Reinforced, more like. As so many others have suggested for the Palestinian Terrortories, a slowly walked artillery barrage incremented by another 100 yards each day until a fully de-militarized zone (i.e., rubble) is created. Any rocket attacks should be greeted by the clearing of a 1/4 mile perimeter centered on the launch point.

#12 Any rocket attacks should be greeted by the clearing of a 1/4 mile perimeter centered on the launch point.

And what is left napalmed for good measure.

#14 This will make round 2 easier. No need to separate Hisbollocks from the Lebanese govenment. Bomb them all.

#15 I figured that this whole thing, from Lebanon siding with Hezb'Allah to the UN retreating from its side of the deal, would end up this way. I just didn't think it would happen this fast. In any case, if it had to go this way, I'm glad it happened quickly. GWB has all kinds of ammo now. Now all I hope is that the 50% of the public who can't seem to figure it out can actually figure it out. Am I hoping for too much? :-)

#16 Koffee-Kup and the Syrians and Iranians don't play poker, do they?
