Annan to Israel: Trust U.N. To Take Care of Hizbullah
Arutz Sheva ^ | 8/31/06

Posted on 8/31/2006, 2:35:17 PM by Jack_1

United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan has told Israel not to worry about Hizbullah terrorists so long as the international interim force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) is present. He made the statement in reply to Israel's claim that Hizbullah terrorists have returned to southern Lebanon despite reports that they are leaving.

He issued a 10-day ultimatum to Israel to withdrawal all forces from Lebanon, by which time he said 20,000 troops from the Lebanese Army and UNIFIL will patrol the area south of the Litani River.

And Israel has handed over most of the border area without linking it to a return of its abducted soldiers. This war brough no gains for Israel. And now Israel's security is being entrusted to likes of Kofi Annan and France. Thanks, Ehud Olmert!

(No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo! )

Trust them because they did such a great job leading up to the last conflict. Why would they do any better now than before? As soon as his UN force hits the ground they'll be met with this ulitimatum, "help us hide and smuggle our weapons or die"
Hmmmm, I don't see the UN force opening standing up to such a threat.

"United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan has told Israel not to worry about Hizbullah terrorists so long as the international interim force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) is present."

Kofi -

Do you honestly think that Israel hasn't been watching the UN's work?

They have paid attention. They know. As a result, they don't trust you.

Now, please resign in disgrace and go back to your home nation. Try and get a legitimate job. Oh, it is going to pay less than the bribe friendly UN, but I am sure you can deal with it.

Trust U.N....

Probably stopped reading right there, crumpled the urgent message into a ball, and chucked it into the wastebin. What unmitigated gall on the part of Kofi Annan. (I'm not even going to get into that farcical "ultimatum" he issued.)

What kind of drugs is that nut-job Annnan on? Has he been smoking the opium that was found in Afganistan? Yeah right, Israel trust the UN. That's a funny one Kofi.

"....Trust U.N. To Take Care of Hizbullah...."

Given that I was the duly elected representative of the people of Israel, and tasked with their welfare and protection, and told this by Kofi........................

Stunning hubris.

The Western World needs to take a serious look at Kofi’s history at the UN. He was in charge of the mission to Rwanda (need we say more). It was not 800,000 Israelis murdered there, it was fellow Africans. Kofi is about the worst evil man that ever held the Secretary General post.
Based upon his set up of the infamous Food for Oil program I wonder if he asked Israel to trust him while en route to Iran to collect “his payola”.

FR doesn't allow vulgar posts so I won't continue posting what I really think about this ultimtum.

I cannot for the life of me understand this.

I am puzzled also but am hoping that a very intelligent and shrewd planning is involved which will expose UN intentions and ineptness or reveal that the U.N. and Hisb'allah have been and are now bed partners.

I can't imagine Israel putting it's very existence into the hands of UN leadership' assurances. Something else is going on here. Any speculations????????

No speculations whatever. Completely clueless and baffled.
