than most people do by, um . . . 8 am!
Hizbullah terrorists are free to roam at night without fear of being identified by the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), according to a report by the German paper Der Spiegel.
Spanish UNIFIL official Richard Ortax admitted to the paper that no patrols are carried out at night “because of the danger involved.†UNIFIL commanders said their function is to “observe changes in the behavior of the local population.â€Â
One junior officer told Der Spiegel he was glad that his battalion had only left its camp once. “It’s absurd,†he said. “We landed here and set up our tent city, but since then we’ve only left the camp to drive around and to make sure that we’re seen.â€Â
The report cites a long tradition of UNIFIL inaction, which it says allowed time for a Finnish contingent to construct a giant sauna and an Indian contingent to decorate its base with traditional Indian artwork.

UNIFIL: As Peaceful As YOU Want It to Be

“We prefer thinking of it as imposing a curfew on ourselves.”

That’s a great song to hear when you’re hanging out drinking. It’s not so hot as a template for foreign policy.
I thought UNIFIL was supposed to help the Lebanese military take control of south Lebanon…
How many troops did the Lebanese government deploy to he area?
Well whqat did you expect ? Israel knew that this would happen but they were in no mood to stay. The invasion was no cakewalk and the occupation would have been worse. They lost 40 merkavas before they left
Dan –
I hate to be unsubtle, but you are one funny motherfucker.
Thanks for the laughs.
