Happenings in Lebanon

What the *&#$ is going on in Lebanon? UPI --
BEIRUT, Lebanon, Sept. 28 (UPI) -- U.N. peacekeeping forces in south Lebanon intervened for the first time Thursday with Israeli forces who arrested journalists in violation of Resolution 1701. Israel has not completed its total withdrawal behind the Blue Line dividing the two countries, and Lebanon complains the Israeli forces continuously commit violations since the offensive with the Shiite Hezbollah organization ended in line with Security Council Resolution 1701. Members of UNIFIL's French battalion almost clashed with Israeli troops who arrested a French journalist and a Lebanese photographer at an improvised checkpoint in the border area of Marwaheen in the western sector of south Lebanon.
Do your job, France. And that job is disarming Hezbollah, not babysitting reporters.

"Members of UNIFIL's French battalion almost clashed with Israeli troops who arrested a French journalist..." I'd have paid a lot of money to see that clash. It probably would have separated the men from the boys. That's why it was an "almost."
The French would have one advantage over the Israelis in such a fight, speed. The French could runaway from the fight before the Israelis got there.
Why are we trusting France with ANYTHING having to do with foreign military policy? You think the actions of the past two hundred years would tell us something.

Interesting that the UN will take on Israel, but not Hezbollah. I bet it's because they know Israel won't start kidnapping and beheading blue helmeted troops.
