Here's how the Lebanon `ceasefire' is being implented



Your pal Freedom Fighter can only utter a grim laugh as he watched how the Lebanese `ceasefire' is being implemented...

President Bush and Israeli Prime minister Olmert both went on record as saying that the new UN resolution 1701 would end Hezbollah’s `state within a state' in Lebanon and would pave the way for the so-called democratic government of Lebanon to take control of its own territory.

Actually, they were correct, but not in the way they meant. Instead of being a `state within a state' Hezbollah is in the process of swallowing up Lebanon.

Now here's how that operates in the real world.

Hezbollah's Sheik Nasrallah has completely refused to disarm his Hezbollah fighters inthe south, as per the resolution. He told Lebanese prime minister Fouad Siniora point blank that the only thing he's willing to do in South Lebanon is to avoid exhibiting his fighters’ weapons in public and keep things discreet.

The Hezbollah army in the South isn't going to try to stop the deployment of Lebanese troops and a strengthened UNFIL force, so long as they understand who's in charge, namely Hezbollah. In other words, any Lebanese troops or foreign peacekeepers will be watched by Hezbollah and under Hezbollah's control and observation. This nullifies the injunction to the Beirut government to assert Lebanese sovereignty in every part of the country, as per the UN resolution.

Siniora has no choice but to accept these orders and end any attempts to disarm Hezbollah. If he doesn't, Hezbollah ministers and memebers of Lebanon's parliament can topple his government at will by withdrawing their parliamentary support...and Siniora will end up in leeetle teensy pieces like his predecessors Hariri and Gamayl. And you can bet he knows it.

Hezbollah is already on the move and heading back to its old positions south of the Litani river.

Yesterday, August 14, in a televised speech on al-Manor (AKA Hezbo-TV) Nasrallah made a large pitch for funds, and also said that his men would be on hand to help with `repairs'. Aside from getting Hezbollah a cut of all that juicy UN donor aid (the US pledge is $50M), this is a way of opening the door for Hezbollah fighters to reach their former bases and fortifications disguised as volunteers and aid workers donating their services to the national reconstruction effort.

I also have a report that Nasrallah also ordered a substantial force of rearmed Hezbollah fighters from the Hezbollah strongholds in the Beqaa Valley and Baalbek to pack their bags and head south with their families as `refugees'. I'm sure they're also bringing new missiles to replace what was fired off or lost during the war.

The large numbers of returning Hezbollah fighters with their families are jamming the roads south – and blocking the deployment of the 15,000-strong Lebanese force ordered by UN resolution 1701 to take over south Lebanon. By the time those Lebanese troops and the UNFIL units get there, if they get there, Hezbollah will be armed, in place and in complete control of their former territory.

What's more, under extreme pressure by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, the Israeli army has already begun its pullback, rather than waiting for the UNFIL and the Lebanese army.

Annan actually had the temerity to send a letter to Olmert instructing him that once the cease-fire is put into effect, the IDF will be barred from taking action even if it comes under attack. As far as Annan is concerned, resolution 1701 says that if Israel is attacked, all it is allowed to do is report it!

So ends round 1 of this war. Round 2 may not be very far off at all.

    Sometimes it is truly frustrating. NEVER have these people kept their world. Muslim Extremists) Never have they told the true, never have the done any good for anyone but themselves. In Iraq Muslims kill Muslims daily like eating nuts, which is just what they are nuts!

    My employer Philip Morris is my gage for dealing with these people. They lied before the U S Senate under oath, lied to the America consumers for 100 years with and all with a straight face and they lie to us daily. They still treat their employees like they did before the Civil War. If they do anything nice for their employees it was some ones mistake and that individual is usually let go before the sun sets. But people deal with them, trust them and invest in them.

    Doesn’t someone in a position of authority like someone’s Prime Minster, President, or Secretary of State realize that this is the way of the Muslim Extremist? They can NEVER be trusted!! They kill their own regardless of age or sex, they are UNhonorable, hate everyone including their own.

    Many of our American politicians have NEVER worked a day in their life. Their parents paid their way through high school, college, law school and into the senate following their parent’s example. They have NO idea what it to work for a living, pay the rent or pay for gas to get to work. Ted Kennedy drove off a New England dock into the water. He allowed a young female intern drown while he got out to dry off and get his story together. She lived for sometime afterwards waiting for someone to come to her aid. Kennedy let her die. Now the bum is the Chairman of the United States Ethnics Committee and this low life judges others. He is a force in our government and our lives.

    My point is this, these are the people running (wrecking) our world, our countries and making these stupid treaties up. They don’t know du du about life let along paying for living through it all.

    I must apologize I make some simple errors in my notes. Recently I tore and completely separated my Rotator Cuff. Much of this I am doing with one hand and I tend to me some stupid mistakes. I appreciate your patience,

    Shalom my friends and foes!

    We'll be fighting in the streets
    With our children at our feet
    And the morals that they worship will be gone
    And the men who spurred us on
    Sit in judgement of all wrong
    They decide and the shotgun sings the song

    I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
    Take a bow for the new revolution
    Smile and grin at the change all around
    Pick up my guitar and play
    Just like yesterday
    Then I'll get on my knees and pray
    We don't get fooled again

    The change, it had to come
    We knew it all along
    We were liberated from the fold, that's all
    And the world looks just the same
    And history ain't changed
    'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war

    I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
    Take a bow for the new revolution
    Smile and grin at the change all around
    Pick up my guitar and play
    Just like yesterday
    Then I'll get on my knees and pray
    We don't get fooled again
    No, no!

    I'll move myself and my family aside
    If we happen to be left half alive
    I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
    For I know that the hypnotized never lie

    Do ya?

    There's nothing in the street
    Looks any different to me
    And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
    And the party on the left
    Is now the party on the right
    And the beards have all grown longer overnight

    I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
    Take a bow for the new revolution
    Smile and grin at the change all around
    Pick up my guitar and play
    Just like yesterday
    Then I'll get on my knees and pray
    We don't get fooled again
    Don't get fooled again
    No, no!


    Meet the new boss

    You know if you want to read something that is meaningful, true and useful you have to come here. Forget the media; they get paid for their words. The words that are written here come from the heart, not some keyboard.

    Do you remember the Old Testament Prophet who cried out, “I am the last one is there no other?” G_d spoke to him and said I have preserved many more you are not alone in this. G_d uses this site to let us know we are NOT alone in this!! H_ is with us and with Israel. As H_ spoke through the old ass in the Old Testament H_ is speaking to us today here at this wonderful site of support and help for all the citizens of Israel, either in heart or body.

    H_ is still speaking through asses, but now they are world leaders and wear suits. Most of them rule countries and think they know everything, but actually know nothing. You can tell them by their ears, no their brains.
