Rice calls Lebanese PM to warn him that if the UN Lebanon resolution is not implemented, “We will not be responsible for the consequences”
August 13, 2006, 10:18 PM (GMT+02:00)
Earlier, Israeli FM Tzipi Livni put in urgent calls to the US secretary and the French foreign minister in an effort to salvage the ceasefire from Iranian-backed Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s 12th-hour retraction of his consent.

Condi and Livni in Israel are trying to stuff the toothpaste back into the tube. Nasrallah won't even go through the fiction of a fake deal. Israel may yet save the situation 'in spite' of her leaders.

I was put off with this Livni lecturing the internaitonal community about disarming Hezbollah. I'm sorry but this misses the whole point of the state of Israel. Never again. Never agin will Jews rely on the international community for help. If Israel cannot or will not disarm Hezbollah, how can she expect Ghannan UN soldiers to do it? What am I missing.

It looks like Nasrallah is high as a kite and will not back down(or iran doesn't want him to). If Olmert's performance continues, I think you could see some sort of coup. There isn't time for elections here.

Posted by: biorabbi at August 13, 2006 6:27 PM

What's this? Hizbollocks refuse to disarm?

Surely, it can't be true?

No doubt, this is just another piece of propaganda from the ZOG machine

It is worrying to see how this war has been conducted - the aims that have been set out, the methods used.

Whoever is taking the decisions - (is it Ehud Olmert or is it a cabinet-military consultative process?) is showing a worrying lack of understanding of the tactics, aims and nature of an Islamist militia like Hizbollah.

Its lifeblood is not military capacity but ideological strength, which this war has greatly boosted. You can just see emerging out of the dead of Tyre and Beirut and across the Syrian border from Iran new waves of Islamist fanatics thirsty for the "Sweetest of all blood - Jewish blood" and enough weapons for it to grow and expand its terrorist activities in the future.

Will we have an ill-advised fullscale carpet bombing of Lebanon each time Hizbollah kidnaps a soldier then?

Two soldiers kidnapped, not yet recovered.
150+ Israelis killed, civilian and military.
Almost all Lebanese support for Israel rather than Hizbollah annihilated.
Israel's international image tarnished.

If I were Nasrallah, i'd be laughing my head off.

Whoever is in charge in Jerusalem need to be careful with their decisions.

Posted by: CHINUBHAI at August 13, 2006 6:49 PM

Of course they would back out of any ceasefire.

The last thing Iran/Syria want is for Lebanon and an internation force to prevent Hezbollah from firing missiles into Israel. We must not forget that the agenda is to DESTROY ISRAEL.

Has anyone heard....(was on fox news this afternoon) that IDF have said that Syria has put a large amount of tanks on the border with Golan Heights AND they are in the process of clearing land mines on their side of the border.

Looks like they may be getting ready to open another front against Israel. Syria, Lebanon/Hezbollah, and Hamas/Gaza surrounding Israel. I'm waiting for Egypt to step in...if this happens soon, ask me how I knew.

If the monkey is to bring about chaos necessary to bring their 'false messiah' (anti-christ), they will have to work quick. August 22 is fast approaching.

I expect for this week to be worse than last.

I also would not be surprised if Turkey starts to get involved. Israel might soon be under attack by several surrounding arab nations and Iran. I do not expect Jordan to be a part of this.

Iran has been sending ambassadors to Egypt and Turkey real recently to discuss regional matters. I don't trust any of them.

Let's not forget that they joined against Israel in the past.

I think this is just a way of Israel playing "possum". They know Hezzbollah will not lay down their arms which is part of the treaty. If they don't, however, they can continue pounding Hezbollah. So their acceptance of another "fake" peace plan makes them look good in the world opinion and Hezbollah is viewed as the aggressor, which they are. It makes plain who really wants peace and who does not. I don't believe for a moment that anyone in Israel believes Hellsbollah will shake hands with Jews.

I would not want to be in that idiot Lahoud's shoes. I believe that the Christians of Lebanon, i.e. the original population, would welcome the annihilation of Hezbollah. After a thousand and more years of arabization, many have embraced the culture of taqqiya and, as a matter of survival, have to say what their oppressors want them to say.
In Lahoud's latest emotional rantings he looks scared to death - as he probably is and should be.
I can't believe that Israel (at its worst strategic-wise) would be even remotely stupid enough to play into the hands of this cease-fire debacle without having a real plan.
As for any U.S. or other Christians in the western world who snivle along-side the Islamites, they better hope that Israel holds fast or the Holy Places will be destroyed, as they have been in the past. And the indigenous Christians will be gone from the cradle of the Faith.
I hope that if during the next few days Israel finds itself in danger, the U.S. will stop kissing Saracen ass and take care of Syria and Persia.

A serious question fellow posters:

Why hasn't Israel attacked and taken out Syria ? Is it the devil you know versus the one you don't ? Is it because Olmert is a wus with little idea of what constitutes victory ?

Syria is a piece of cake as against a phantom bunch of Hesbos. Why not take out their supplier ?What's the strategy ?

Posted by: dgene at August 13, 2006 10:34 PM

Hezbollah will refuse to disarm in south Lebanon. If somebody forces them to do so, they will respond with longer-range missiles in mid-Lebanon.

Somewhere down the line, someone will realize that military conquest trumps the PR struggle. Along the way, we will define a new casualty classification; enabler.

Posted by: limes at August 13, 2006 10:48 PM

This entire U.N. peace plan has been a fiasco from the moment it was tried, and was only pursued to placate the European dhimmis and apologists for islamic radicalism around the world. Any idiot can see that Hezbollah will not disarm. The diplomatic actions undertaken by our government make us appear weak in the eyes of the islamic world, and diplomacy has only served to blur the distinction between right and wrong, good and evil. When the fighting resumes - about 30 seconds by my calculation, after the cease-fire goes into effect - Israel and the U.S. should waste no more time. It is time for the leadership to show backbone and identify the enemy as any government that shelters or supports terrorist organizations and to take the necessary steps to insure the destruction of the bastards once and for all. How much longer will the free world be subject to the scourge of these islamic facists. By God, stand up and do what needs to be done! †

On Dr. Dr. Spencer's just concluded national questioning:

In the last segment, Robert made the point that terrorists are using the wording of the Koran to justify their actions.

Akbar Ahmed, a Department Chair at American University, responded that 'Dr. Spencer says that there are no Islamic moderates.'

Somebody's hit a nerve. This response comes from a man who just described himself as an 'Uncle Tom'.

If you get a chance to watch the Department Chair responding to our host's questions, look at his feet.

Robert,

It appears that your interview with Brian Lamb on C-SPAN preceded that of Mr. Akbar Ahmed, presented tonight. He had luxury of excerpts of your interview and opportunity to rebut your arguments. Personally, I found his responses difficult to characterize as taqiyya, ignorance, or wishful thinking. Could you post your reponses to his rebuttals?

Specifically, could you please comment on his favoring of Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi and
Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah (in preference to centuries of Islamic jurists) as ideological role models for Muslim youth and as representations of the true or centrist Islamic world view, which I believe was implied by his responses.

Posted by: Concerned Citizen at August 14, 2006 12:22 AM

Olmert's decisions were dictated by Rice and Bush, acting in conjunction with the French and the United Nations.

Olmert wasn't an independent actor in this drama. Thus I deem focusing on him, leaving out the leader of the Free World, somewhat unfair.

The Israelis have a single friend on the face of the earth, the United States. And when that friend speaks, and says "time's up," Olmert wasn't about to respond that clocks are gimmicks conjured up by frivolous international elites.

Netanyahu would have told Bush and the whole world where they could get off, but few men in Israel are made of the stuff of Netanyahu.

The drama has granted an INESTIMABLE victory to the forces of muslim mayhem.

Rice caved, Bush caved, and it seems they NEVER truly UNDERSTOOD Tehran's role as catalyst. Tehran was center and circumference throughout. Recall Bush being overheard speaking to Blair, he didn't say TEHRAN is behind this, he said Damascus was, and THAT was the truly obscene statement made, not his cavalier use of the word "shit." The true obscenity was his misperception of the true enemy standing behind all of the veils and curtains.

AND THAT MISPERCEPTION has informed Washington's response throughout, which is why the ending of this drama is so profoundly unsatisfactory.

Well, Tehran will surely give a tutorial that even Bush can't ignore. THEY'RE ALREADY leaving men in Lebanon with Iranian documentation on them. WHY? Because Tehran WANTS the West TO KNOW FULLY how involved they are. And when the West PERSISTS in ingoring that reality, it only intensifies the RIGHTFUL contempt they feel towards the West, especially Washington.

They see into the souls of our leadership and our elites, and they see squalor and degeneracy. And which of us is to suggest the Tehran lunatics see wrong?

Olmert is not a dictator. He answers not only to Bush and Rice, but to his fellow Israelis.

It makes sense that the IDF will remain in Hez' territory as long as necessary to ensure a (however temporary) cessation of attacks. But hopefully the days of fearful restraint in response to missle attacks are over.

That was my thought as well. Doesn't Israel get a say in which countries' troops are acceptable on its borders? They'd have to be insane to allow even Islamic, let alone Arab troops on their border, yet if memory serves you right, Morocco is there as well, in addition to Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey and Spain. (It's interesting that Spain's already being counted in the ummah - forget the inquisition, the days of the Habsburgs are as germane to Spain as the Sassanids are to Iran.)

In case of Indonesia, will those Jihadi volunteers, which Indonesia's home/foreign minister stated that he can't stop from going to Lebanon, be Indonesia's portion of that force? Earlier, it looked like the Arabs wanted UNIFIL extended, and France was backing that move.

My suggestion - put the Chinese PLA there. Given China's policy of settling in Han Chinese in terretory occupied by the PLA, put them there, and let Chinese take over from where the Phoenicians left off. And if Hizbullah or any Lebanese Muslims do anything to them, you know how China would react.

Posted by: Infidel Pride at August 14, 2006 4:12 AM

O.T.

It may not be all the way there, but it's as good an editorial as I've seen in a UK newspaper yet:

... This weekend, with over 20 British-born Muslims locked up under suspicion of plotting another despicable terrorist attack – but on a far grander scale – it should be clear to all but the wilfully blind that the size, scope and murderous intent of Britain’s enemy within is the most pressing problem facing the country.

During the relative quiet since the abortive copycat bombings on 21 July last year few wanted to believe that there were more attacks to come, especially not from young people born, educated and raised in the United Kingdom. But it was merely the lull before the real storm: Britain’s home-grown terror threat is greater than ever before because a small but deadly minority of young British Muslims hate the country of their birth and its prevailing non-Muslim culture. This threat from British Muslim nihilism is made all the more dangerous because the default response of a soft-headed British Establishment – including police chiefs more anxious to parade their politically-correct credentials than catch criminals and judges who play into terrorists’ hands by elevating civil liberties above national security even in time of crisis – is to worry more about the growth of so-called Islamophobia in non-Muslim Britain than to do everything it takes to root the Islamist terrorists and would-be terrorists in our midst.

Yet there is now a clear pattern evolving in the process that creates the enemy within: young Muslim men (including some recent converts), usually from honest and hard-working families – more middle-class than under-class – are radicalised after exposure to extreme Islamist elements in Britain and during subsequent and inevitable trips to Pakistan. They are fed a heady brew of Islamic fundamentalism and anti-western propaganda which exploits undoubted Anglo-American foreign policy failures and perceived injustices in Afghanistan, Iraq and what would be Palestine; and they are nurtured by a British-based Jihad apparatus which thrives under the noses of the British police. Their Islamist certainties are then fanned by the fact that they live in a country increasingly hated by its own political, media, legal and cultural elites whose predominant relativist philosophy eschews moral judgments and allows crime, social decay, feckless welfare dependency and widespread educational failure to eat away at society from within, convincing alienated Muslim youth that they really do live in a sick and disgusting society that deserves to be bombed.

When a society allows vulnerable young minds to be poisoned by Islamo-fascism and does next-to-nothing to stand up for its own traditional values of decency, responsibility, self-discipline, hard work, respect for others and the carefully-constructed freedoms of liberal democracy – indeed, far from standing up for them takes a perverse, right-on pleasure in seeing them wither on the vine – then we should not be surprised when the warped and deluded decide to take matters into their own hands; and they do not even need a global terror network to do it. ...

Until we confront the evil and hate filled ideology of islam, in the West as well as in the Middle East, we lose focus, and we lose.
When Sharon left Gaza (with Olmert in his back pocket) claiming it was a victory, I thought he was shameful and a fool (and said so at the time).
There is no substitute for victory, which, the longer the West puts off, becomes a lot more painful and expensive.

I predicted two years ago that Islam would eventually be banned worldwide.It's a dangerous and fascist ideology which has shown itself incompatible with freedom and democracy. Note that George Bush has gone from calling Islam a "religion of peace" to describing the war as a war on "Islamic Fascism".I watched O'Reilly on Thursday when he said you can no longer ignore the link between Islam and terrorism. He and others are now openly calling for profiling.Muslims everyday are their own worst enemies. A cartoon riot here, a war there a terrorist attack over there.Iraq and the attempt to bring democracy to the Middle East was the last chance for Muslims.There will be no more peaceful attempts to bring Muslims into the modern world.People are tired of Islam and the problems and inconveniences that goes with having Muslims around.

Syria really needs to stop fooling around the Golan Heights. They must have lousy TV not to have seen what happened to Iraqi tanks in the last confrontation with Hellfire missles and anti-tank cluster bombs.
Syria is in dire danger of going from military force to scrap yard owners in a very short time.
Of course, the standard Arab remark after attacking Israel goes something like this, " It seemed like a good idea at the time."

Yea Concerned, Caroline Glick gets it. I've only become aware of her writings of late, through linkages to her here at Jihadwatch, and over at Hugh Hewitt's website. But she's tough minded, and she gets it.

We more writers like her. It's ashame that she's primarily published in Israel. Because the response by the Israelis is incapable of any long lasting STRATEGIC effect upon jihad. They're capable of pushing back their enemies for awhile, but those enemies always return.

I wish Glick had a wider readership. Too bad she wasn't getting column space at the NY Times, instead of Friedman or Dowd.
