Israeli raid aims to cut off arms resupply�-�World�-�insider.washingtontimes.com

Israel learned what you tolerate will happen. For years they tolerated the UN not enforcing the ban on weapons and failure to remove Hezbollah from Lebanon and they saw that it is happening again. So when they found Syria and Iran attempting to rearm Hezbollah with more arms, they attempted to stop the arms transfer. What happens? Lebanon and UN get in their face saying this is a violation of the cease fire. Sorry but I disagree. It is enforcement of 1701.

Here is what Fox News said "Lebanon threatened to halt deployment of its soldiers in the south of the country, and Prime Minister Fuad Siniora denounced Israel's operation as a "flagrant violation" of the cease-fire. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan discussed the operation by phone with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, and later called it a "violation by the Israeli side of the cessation of hostilities as laid out in Security Council Resolution 1701." U.N. Middle East envoy Terje Roed-Larsen said in Beirut that reports on the Israeli strike indicated it constituted a violation of the U.N. Security Council resolution that established a truce early last week after more than a month of fighting. Israel said the raid did not violate the cease-fire, and Washington appeared to agree with that claim. An Israeli army spokesman said the goal of the operation was achieved in full, and that the military would continue to prevent Hezbollah from getting weapons shipments from Iran and Syria. The operation exposed the first major dispute over implementation of Resolution 1701, which helped end fighting in Lebanon earlier last week. Concerned that the cease-fire will enable Hezbollah to rearm, Israel is demanding that the Lebanese army and international peacekeepers enforce the arms embargo against the militia called for by the cease-fire resolution. "

Big deal they Lebanese may not deploy their forces. They didn't do any good before the war broke out what makes anyone think they will do anything to stop Hezbollah now? This UN farce, no I didn't spell it wrong farce is exactly what I meant, will be worthless at best as so many other UN peacekeeping forces have been over the years. France has already stated that they are not going to disarm Hezbollah. Well then what good is this force?

"Israel will not tolerate Hezbollah exploiting the cease-fire to rearm, and to re-equip with strategic weapons from Iran and Syria. Then we're back to square one," Mr. Regev said.

Israel learned what you tolerate will happen and they "will not tolerate Hezbollah exploiting the cease-fire"

At least someone learned something. Too bad we here in the US didn't. We have tolerated antisemetic actions by the UN, failure to enforce it's own resolutions, and pure corruption by the UN and yet we still go to them thinking they will actually do something. We have larned NOTHING. We tolerate the UN's failures and guess what, they happen again and again and again. When will the US wake up and not tolerate the behavior and failure of the UN?
