#1 Disarm, hell, let them keep their arms. They make better dead Hezbos pictures for el Reuters and al AP with a weapon up their backside.

#2 The Lebanese Army will do anything for its country but fight for it.

#3 The UN truce is just an enabling mechanism for the Hizbs. Koffi and Co have created a mechanism to help Iran, Syria and Hizb destroy Israel. The UN and supporting countries are willing accomplices in the systematic destruction of Israel. This is total madness.

#4 The Lebbie arent going to say theyre gonna disarm the Hezbies now, even IF thats their intent. Leb politics is as byzantine as any game in the world, and that hasnt changed. Just by putting their troops on the ground in the south is a big change - suddenly Hezb isnt the only armed force in the south. They will wait till everyone is good and used to that before they make their next move, I think.

No guarantee this will work, and its not ideal solution, but dont give up hope yet.

#5 Agreed, but Bush may have agreed to the plan to give Israel a chance to toss Olmert into the Med and pick a leader with nads and a clue.
It won't be long before fighting flares up again, and where's the 2 kidnapped soldiers ?

#6 Lebanese army is more like a Hezzie logistics unit than an Army unto themselves.
