UN rules out force to disarm Hizbollah
2006-03-27
The United Nations has said it did not expect Lebanon to disarm Hizbollah fighters by force but hoped they would join the Lebanese army.
Oh, yeah. That's zachary what Leb needs...
Terje Roed-Larsen, the UN's Middle East envoy, speaking at a news conference on Sunday, said: "We don't believe that it is indeed possible to go down south or into the Bekaa Valley and take away the weapons of Hizbollah.

Roed-Larsen will present a report in April on progress in the implementation of the Security Council Resolution 1559, which demands that foreign troops should leave Lebanon and militias there disarm. His comments came at the end of a 20-day tour that took the Norwegian diplomat around Arab capitals as well as to Paris, Washington, London, Moscow and Beijing to discuss Hizbollah's weapons and the armed Palestinian factions based in Lebanon.

#4  He can write anything he pleases in his report. It's just a pile of paper and he's just an employee. The media, in this case al Jazeerah (LOL), can characterize it any way they like. It has even less import than the pile of paper.

After Iran, Hizbollah will be looking for a new sugar-daddy.
