#1 Seems clear to me. Why did Israel stop again?
Oh yeah. That france UN thingey. Yeah. That will do it. Permanent peace right there.

Mark my words. Hostages not returned, more rockets fired = Lebanon belongs to Israel full and parcel by GOD and GODAMN the UN or EU - anyone who gets in the way. It will not be stopped and it will be brutal.

#5 Debka says Iran is shipping in Scud B's to Hezbollah. That would be a major escalation and would almost beg for an Israeli pre-emptive strike. I'm betting this gets confrmed by other sources.

#10 The only purpose for the EU component of the UN force is to provide human shields for Hezbollah. The Muslim soldiers from Malaysia, Indonesia, etc are Hezbollah reinforcements. My opinion of Condoleeza Rice has taken a serious decline.

#11 Man, I did an IBS (Involuntary Beverage Snort) at the word 'backbone'. As for the 3 months to assemble the troops, are they swimming from Malaysia or what?
