And lets not forget that the UNIFIL pers posted all Israeli movements, troop deployments and vehicle/weapons but nothing about Hezbollah during the time they were "monitoring" the area. |

Yes, they’ll be marvelous shields for Hizb’Allah too. McQ get back to me on how this is good for Israel and the world again? Putting the UN on the "spot" to perform. |

Nothing has changed Joe, despite your selective memory. Go back and review what was said. |

Nothing too selective here...YOU say when the UNIFIL force fails, THEN folks will see that Israel has no choice but to act. I say WHEN the UNIFIL ofrce fails, that world community will proceed to condemn Israel for acting.
I just note that both are predictions, but as it’s shaping up, I’d say mine has a better chance of coming true, because I don’t see Kofi Annan or Javier Solana or Romano Prodi lambasting the French or the UN for their obvious failures so far. In fact, everyone seems just "hunky-dorey" with the fact that Hizb’Allah won’t be disarmed, and that the UNIFIL force will NOT be preventing the Re-Arming of Hizb’Allah. From the performance SO FAR, I’d say it’s shaping up to be what I predict, a second round, with the same criticisms of Israel, mayhap MORE, after all their will be more UN troops to hide behind and serve as "bullet absorbers" for Hizb’Allah.
I don’t dispute there will be a second round. Our dispute is about what the world says about it and in my humble opinion one really can’t be TOO CYNICAL when one comes to the UN and "World Opinion." You still have some faith in them or a belief that if they fail just one more time, "something" will change. I don’t see that anything will change, Kofi and his cronies make their salaries just fine as things are... Chirac is just fine as things are...The Trans-national Progressives (Steven Den Beste) have a vested interest in the status quo so they have no need to change either.
You say Israel won the war and mayhap has lost the peace....I’d say Israel did poorly in a war that it could not lose and has lost the peace and will lose the PR campaign next time around because the MSM and the Trans-national Progressive Community has no interest in helping Israel demonstrate it’s futility. |

UNIFIL probably was not observing Hamas’ construction of bunkers; they were probably advising on the construction of the bunkers. |

Whatever they do I hope they don’t let the French construct the bunkers... the Le Ligne Maginot still gives them a bad rep. |
