It is no surprise that Hezbollah does not play by civilized ruled or the resolutions of the irrelevant U.N. who has demonstrated no propensity or backbone to enforce such rules/resolutions!
Who cares what Kofi Annan says! he is a criminal, and it is a wonder he is still the Sect General of the U.N. at all. In the past, he has covered for his friend in a sexuall harrassment case involving a U.N. Staff member, oversaw the Black Marketing scam that undermined every resolution passed against Hussein for 12 years, propping up the dictator who was raping, torturing, and gassing his own people. That wasn't enough - he then oversaw/covered for his son the fleecing of these same people through the Oil-for-food scandal while all this was going on. He then demanded the right to steal more Iraqi money so they could use millions of Iraqi oil money to pay for their defense attorneys in the case! :shock: Kofi is responsible for this latest conflict because he did not ensure the U.N. enforced Resolution 1559 and set up a buffer zone to protect Israel. Instead, he sent in a bunch of U.N. voyeurs to watch iran build up Hezbollah and the continued attacks on Israel. He WATCHED Syria and Iran assassinate Lebonese leaders and enslave Lebanon, making them a puppet state and a launching pad for attacks on Israel. He is also responsible for the next attack/conflict for not doing anything AGAIN to solve this problem! Instead, he came to Hezbollah's rescue, buying them time to rebuild to carry on the offensive against Israel. Funny thing is that Hezbollah even BOOed him when he visited this week, despite the fact that Kofi is their biggest fan and supporter these days, like he was Hussein's! During this conflict, while Iranian soldiers were found dead or captured among hezbolla, desite Hezbollah fighters declaring they had been trained in iran and the plot to kidnap the 2 Israeli soldiers had come from Iran, Kofi the criminal could STILL not bring himself to call Hezbollah a terrorist group or acknowledge Iran was involved! Amazing....and another reason the U.N. is comletely irrelevant now!
Iriemon: Has Isreal released the Lebonese prisoners? Sounds like Isreal is equally in breach to me.
Evidently Iriemon thinks the way things should work is that any terrorist group should have the right to invade your country, kidnap your soldiers, and demand (Black Mail) a prisoner exchange while YOU do not have a right to attack them or defend yourself, that you MUST participate in the prisoner swap!
"There is no unconditional release. It is not feasible," Lebanese Energy Minister Mohammed Fneish told a news conference.
The leader of Hezbollah also said he was surprised by the Israeli response to the kidnappings, like he thought it was understood by both parties that he could do that, like it was part of a game, the rules of which they had both agreed on long ago. I guess Iriemon agrees those are good rules as well.
Well, I disagree with Iriemon, Minister Fneish, and the Hezbollah leader on this one. You cross my border, you have just conducted an act of war! You kidnap 2 of my soldiers - you have just perpetrated an act of war. You demand a prisoner exchange - I come after you and kill every one of you I can find! I defend my country with extreme prejudice, killing every terrorist who fires a rocket at my country, who has anything to do with the suicide bombings in my country, and anyone who is either holding these prisoners or had anything to do with their capture!
Israel is at war against an enemy who has sworn its destruction and has been carrying out attacks to achieve that goal for over 50 years! The U.N. doe NOT get it! If 'you're either part of the problem or part of the solution', then the U.N. has been a major part of the problem for years! They always seem tio back the bad guys - Hezbollah, Hussein, etc....
And anyone who is ACTUALLY really surprised Hezbollah refuses to comply with the U.N. is beyond naive and probably expecting Iran to shut down its nuclear program today! :roll:
