U(seless)N still unable to gete troops to Lebanon

France now says that 15,000 troops are too many. I’ll remind you, they helped draft the August 11 Security Council resolution that called for the troops. They then said they would only send 200 troops, despite their promises of more. So two weeks after the resolution, the U(seless)N is still trying to get people to go. “The number was "completely excessive", Chirac told a news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Paris. "It doesn't really make sense. So what is the right number, 4,000, 5,000 or 6,000? I don't know," he said. (I'll remind you again, THEY helped draft the resolution.) So Chirac, what do you know? Chirac said the blockade was "extremely prejudicial to the economy and life in Lebanon, and in my view quite unjustified". This in response to Israel saying they would continue to stop Syria (Iran Jr) from re-arming Hezbollah, until the U(seless)N troops where in place. Is that really surprising that Israel would continue to protect itself? They have been saying it all along. They have not wavered from it. The only people backing out of promises are the French. They wanted so bad to be thought of as a world power, but didn’t realize they would have to actually back up what they said. Not to be outdone in their lack of understanding about the situation in the Middle East, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said, "At the moment we are seeing some very unconstructive signals from Syria.” What did they expect? The U(seless)N still thinks that writing something down fixes the problem. When will they learn?
