"-- disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon so there will be no weapons or authority in Lebanon other than that of the Lebanese state;"

...something about pigs flying comes to mind...

Israel may as well keep pounding the hizzies because they will never agree to some of the provisions. Lebanon was complicit in letting them set up bases of operation and thousands of weapons pointed at Israel. Now they pay the price also.

The most important item has been omitted. There can be no Peace talks, Ceasefire agreements or discussions, until the Israeli soldiers are returned.

I was a Bush fan but if this demand ( return the soldiers ) is not included in any proposals, I put Bush in the same League as Carter and clintons.

Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong! Hezbollah answers to who, Lebanon?

All Israel wants is peace, and Lebanon didn't even start the whole thing to begin with.

Hezbollah is a TERRORIST organization. Diplomatically, it gives the APPEARANCE that the international community is working to resolve this, however, I'd bet all involved know that because Iran and or Syria are the ones calling the Hezbollah shots that they aren't obligated to even read this agreement, and when it keeps raining rockets Israel is allowed to defend itself.

I'd say that in a nutshell that the agreement allows Israel to keep on doing what they are doing.

Is the UN kidding?

Aha! The Blue Line is not just any line in the sand.

Seems to me that Iran has given Israel a perfect example of what to say when the Security Council votes.

Shalom.

Expresses its intention, after agreement from Lebanon and Israel to a "political framework for a lasting solution,"

Perhaps they contemplate fulfilling the Muslims desire to implement the "final solution" that came so close in the 1940s?

When you are dealing with this the only answer is their elimination. Period.

A poster on another thread put it well about the mindset we are fighting against. From The Psychology Behind Suicide Bombings

“This scared me right down to the marrow. In essence, once these people get nuclear weapons, they will use them to obliterate as many of us as they can, without a thought about any consequence - political, environmental, or personal.”
