#1 "If we really want to, we can stop the Jooos from pestering the brave and glorious warriors of Hizbullah".

#2 'If' they do attack Israeli military with anti-aircraft weapons, then i hope the Israeli's level the entire UN Force in Lebanon and then finish turning the Lebanese clock back another 20 years.

#3 After decades of UN sanctioned terrorism, it's about time they finally showed their true colors. I hope they try and I hope Israel blows them all straight to hell. Including their fucking aircraft carrier. If the Europeans are going to pretend that Hezbollah is conforming to Resolution 1701, they are effectively giving the terrorists free reign to rearm. Preventing Israel from monitoring or prosecuting what they refuse to enforce is nothing but abetting terrorism.

It is difficult to imagine just how satisfying it would be for Israel if they finally got a chance to blow away the military staff of Hezbollah's European pals. Europe has overtly funded Israel's most dire enemies for so long that the IDF must be salivating at a chance to dole out some paybacks.

#4 Somewhere in northern Israel is a map of Lebanon detailing every UN position, weapon and vehicle. The only question is where the map is a list of targets or non-targets.

#5 The Israelis could really turn this into a major humiliation for the Europeans by sneaking in some slightly defective surface to air missiles and launching them at Israeli aircraft near the UNIFIL positions.

Then forcefully slamming France in particular with committing "acts of war" against Israel, huffily withdrawing their ambassador, and in their national newspapers declare that any other acts of war would have to be treated as national act of war by France, not UNIFIL acts.

Then immediately afterwards, launch a few more ineffective missiles at Israeli aircraft for all to see.

Then shut the hell up and refuse to talk to the French. They would poop in their collective coulettes.

#6 Oh gawd, if we just had one operational battlewagon to park off the coast. The instant the Frogs did anything but fart grotesquely we could lay down a pattern and obliterate anything within a 1/2 mile box of the coordinates of the launcher. I think ~ 200 16" shells landing on their heads would clear up their thought process.

You kidding? The French would look at it as a chance to return to Jew-killing *AND* get on the good side of their restless Islamic yoots.

#8 There is so much wrong with this that it is chilling. General Pelligrini is clearly stating his allegiance with terrorists and mapping his intended assistance to their cause.

The UN is clearly assisting terrorists by ignoring all demands of 1701 as they apply to the islamists, the blind eye (not my table, sorry) to the re-arming and promising to fire on a country defending itself from the actions condemned in 1701. Freaking chilling.

#9 I think that was always the plan: To get a nuclear-armed, Muslim-friendly European power in Lebanon, which would then provide a deterrent against Israeli anti-Hezb strikes .

French anti-aircraft batteries also provide some cover for Syria, too. I wonder what the quid pro quo is?

#10 French trade with Iran, specifically oil on preferential terms I would guess.

#11 Not sure what quid pro quo.

May be straight blackmail. Europe stands with the muzzies in destroying Israel and the muzzies won't immediately take down their countries from within. Riots can be called on demand - demo France. And muzzies will protect them from the Satans revenge.

Puts the UN against US, Australia, UK and Canada - if the latters can stay the course - in demanding no strike back for destroying Israel - (and now with the nukes to back it up - Pak, Rus, prob Iran, DPRK and who all else). Stand off, they'll believe. They believe Israel will be eliminated as they desire and "united" the muzzzies with include Europe under their umbrella.

So far, Euro's been paying the blackmail. Or just dancing cause it' fun.

#12 I wonder what the quid pro quo is?

Quiet in French cities. Fewer injured French cops. Maybe even fewer raped French women, but I don't think the Muslims would give that up.

#13 I think that UNIFIL talks tough against the Israelis because they can. If they talk tough against Hezbollah, they will disappear in the night with their heads going North and their bodies South. Talk like this makes them feel they are real soldiers instead of stooges in blue helmets.

#14 I'm with RWV. It must be maid clear---beyond any shadow of doubt---to the French manning these batteries that while an incident may be a great success for their political masters---they, personally, are not going to survive it.

#15 And when Hezbollah launches a rocket salvo from south of the Litani into northern Israel, what happens then?

#16 LOL! The UN threatening to fire on the IDF?! I'd pay to see that one. Blue helmets would fly, kiss the French good bye!

#17 So the same people unwilling to send troops to fight the rag tag taliban will take on the Israelis?

Idle talk

#20 Johny

Rubin, interesting that you would dignify all that with the attribution of being an idea?? I've noticed slippage,in recent,mostly alarming ways but now I'll be damned if it's not starting to resemble dementia...

dementia expertize eh little johnny LOL!

EG: "Inforce(sic) Martial Law, shoot to kill(as opposed to trying to talk someone out of it?), summary trials on the spot in the greater Baghdad area (as opposed to summary detention,torture and murder?)."

how bout you and me johny, K-Bars locked in a phone booth? I'll show summary detention and guts. :-)

WHAT?? a sad and sorry excuse for an occupation.

thats a bad attitude johnny, look on the bright side the Palistianian and Sunni numbers are going in the right direction.

WHAT?? a failed democratization effort.

yep the savages and their commie cheerleaders like you J can't handle Democracy yet.

WHAT?? a
inept and totally failed attempt to demonstrate American superiority!!

au contrare johnny asshat boy, our most sacred sons and daughters gave all to try and help lift iraqis from bloodthirsty Saddam regime.

Any sane person would recognize this Johnny as a superior decent thing inspite of the fact that the sick fucks like you cheering for Saddam and the murders like al-Zaquari.

johnny
Peace in our time! Free Iraq from oppression!

the only peace you'll everb know is thru death johnny boy, the long dirt nap kinda Peace for you!

#22 Ima engineer, I think of bad things and plan for them. I create targets for the military, heh.

Throwin this out to you. Let us say that Hizb starts some kind of *ahem* incident. IDF retaliates. UNIFIL Frenchies launch AA missiles at IDF planes. IDF sez, "holy schitskis, WTF are they doing? What will we do? IDF takes out batteries, killing Frenchies. Then Chiraq and Co consider it an act of war and start rattling nukes, despite their histor of being pussies.

Now what happens? I can this thing getting out of hand and France becoming Iran's proxy in the destruction of Israel.

#23 I cannot see Franch launching nuclear weapons against Israel. It forever would cement WWII Vichy as their true intention. Saddest of all, even if France is doing this to appease their domestic Muslim population, they are still only feeding the crocodile. Morons.
