#1 I still maintain any international force that goes and tries to disarm Hizbollocks won't last till Christmas. It will be a bloody mess.

#3 Ceasefire fire in Lebanon may be reached within hours

there must be a huge part of this epic picture I missed along the way for this inexplicable revolting development to be taking place.

What the hell is it..

after-all right now who's better than Israel to dismantle hizzbullies?

I'm sure that the Maronites, Greek Orthodox, Greek Catholics, Druze and Caffe Latte Lebanese don't want to see the Hizzbullies back in strength.

/ceasefire on kofi's word I suppose...

#4 Face it, we lost this one big time. Olmert will go down as another Chamberlain and will be held accountable. Israel is now a paper tiger and all of Islam has taken note. The next war - and it isn't far off - will be everyone's worst nightmare. And, despite seeing it from far off, we were still a party to it. Maybe this is how it had to be though 'cause in the end, who here really felt that anything short of wholesale torching was gonna convince these nutjobs. Hell....they want it - been begging for it. Well....soon enough.

#5 Whimper or Bang?

Cake or Death?

SOSDD.

Another pointless round in the endless M.E. "game", another opportunity lost.

I guess it will be left to the US -- or nobody.

#6 Come on, guys.

This is the third or fourth "Ceasefire is almost here" story I've heard. Why believe this one more than any other?

What does any of it matter until the IDF withdrawals or the Hezzies surrender? Talk is just talk, deeds matter.

#7 #4 Olmert will go down as another Chamberlain

Nope. Bush will go down as another Chamberlain. Olmert, at worst, the whatshisname PM of Czechoslovakia.
