#1 Well, well. This disarming is going along right fine! Too bad the d@mned UN has nothing to do with it.

#2 So long as the weapons are destroyed, and their emplacements and bunkers and such are mapped (and possibly even bugged for later listening), I'm content to ignore the UN for as long as necessary.

#3 Indeed, tw. Completely ignoring the UN seems to make the most sense. Go about your business presuming they are reporting your movements to the Leb / Hezb and being prepared for counter-ambush. Self-defense trumps all, even for the evil Jooos.

Where found complicit, by act or omission, in arms smuggling and other Leb / Hezb shit, it would be worth its weight in gold to see the Israelis arrest, disarm, and frog-march the offending UN assholes to the nearest coastline and notify the UN to pick 'em up within 24 hours or they'll have to swim home. That, I believe, is the way to deal with this farce UN ceasefire.

Works for me. All future UN efforts, especially any that center upon Israel and its foes, should be subjected to microscopic scrutiny. The UN's blatant anti-Semitism must be outed for once and all.

#6 Like an RB commenter noted this week, the IDF is staying right under the media-radar. If this work in S. Leb and Gaza can continue with the same intensity for another couple of months, Hamas and Hezzie might be in a bad way.

#9 I don't think it's under the media radar, but the kidnapping and subsequent forced conversion of 2 press agents that has their eyes covered.
The press is like everyone else, they desire to be respected as elite among men. Forced conversions show a total lack of respect.

#10 Maybe you're right WX, hope so.

#11 "...the troops found rocket-propelled grenade launchers, mortar shells, light arms and communications equipment in the depot... ."

Bet they were found in a school or toystore.
