UN Says Hezbollah Has Replenished Missiles
Hizbullah has succeeded in rearming itself and has obtained missiles with a range of 250 km., a UN report on the implementation of UN Resolution 1701 stated. Such missiles would be capable of striking areas south of Tel Aviv.
Weapons smuggling from Syria into Lebanon, in violation of 1701, is continuing as well.
According to the report, which was quoted by Army Radio, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon called the continued arms smuggling “grave.”
The report also noted that according to information provided by Israel, Hizbullah was rearming itself south of the Litani River, and that given this development, UNIFIL forces and the Lebanese army were increasing their efforts to patrol the area.
Further, Israeli intelligence passed on to the UN stated that the number of land-to-sea missiles in Hizbullah’s stockpile has tripled.
The report also criticized Israel for not relaying details of its cluster bombing campaign during the Second Lebanon War, and for not ending continued IAF overflights in Lebanese airspace.

“UN Says Hezbollah Has Replenished Missiles”
Under the watch of their own damn peacekeepers. what a useless organization that has become, seriously. then has the nerve to criticize Israel over anything.
Its time to scrap the UN.
October 31st, 2007 at 1:16 pm“grave” huh? Is that all?
Israel to UN: Hey UN, here is evidence pertaining to violation of UN resolution 1701.
UN to Israel: That’s too bad. Hey, remember when those guys were tunneling under the border and blowing you up from below? Well, you did not disclose every little piece of ordinance you used.
What a joke.

well, the last time an israeli plane was targeted, it was by the legal lebanese army ; me think that Lebanon, whatever clan it is, is fed up that israeli are intervening on an officialy aknoledged territory, Lebanon.
that, when HBZ said that if a war occurs between Israel,Syria and Iran, they won’t rise the small finger for them (link can be provided)
and the remains of cluster bombings are a real danger for the population and for the blue helmets who are doing the dirty job of disarming them, especially our french legionaires who are specialised on that job

October 31st, 2007 at 5:13 pmG I Joe (The Story)
As Platoon Sgt. Mitchell Paige and his 33 riflemen set about carefully emplacing their four water-cooled .30-caliber Brownings on that hillside, 65 years ago this week — manning their section of the thin khaki line that was expected to defend Henderson Field against the assault of the night of Oct. 25, 1942 — it’s unlikely anyone thought they were about to provide the definitive answer to that most desperate of questions: How many able-bodied U.S. Marines does it take to hold a hill against 2,000 armed and motivated attackers?
But by the time the night was over, “The 29th (Japanese) Infantry Regiment has lost 553 killed or missing and 479 wounded among its 2,554 men,” historian Lippman reports. “The 16th (Japanese) Regiment’s losses are uncounted, but the 164th’s burial parties handled 975 Japanese bodies. … The American estimate of 2,200 Japanese dead is probably too low.”
You’ve already figured out where the Japanese focused their attack, haven’t you? Among the 90 American dead and seriously wounded that night were all the men in Mitchell Paige’s platoon. Every one. As the night of endless attacks wore on, Paige moved up and down his line, pulling his dead and wounded comrades back into their foxholes and firing a few bursts from each of the four Brownings in turn, convincing the Japanese forces down the hill that the positions were still manned.
…
In the end, Sgt. Paige picked up the last of the 40-pound, belt-fed Brownings and did something for which the weapon was never designed. Sgt. Paige walked down the hill toward the place where he could hear the last Japanese survivors rallying to move around his flank, the belt-fed gun cradled under his arm, firing as he went.
…
When the Hasbro Toy Co. called some years back, asking permission to put the retired colonel’s face on some kid’s doll, Mitchell Paige thought they must be joking.
But they weren’t. That’s his mug, on the little Marine they call “G.I. Joe.” At least, it has been up till now.
Mitchell Paige’s only condition? That G.I. Joe must always remain a United States Marine.

October 31st, 2007 at 5:46 pmi hope israel isn’t so retrained next time
Hollywood now proposes that in a new live-action movie based on the G.I. Joe toy line, Joe’s — well, “G.I.” — identity needs to be replaced by membership in an “international force based in Brussels.” The IGN Entertainment news site reports Paramount is considering replacing our “real American hero” with “Action Man,” member of an “international operations team.”
Paramount will simply turn Joe’s name into an acronym.
The show biz newspaper Variety reports: “G.I. Joe is now a Brussels-based outfit that stands for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity, an international co-ed force of operatives
October 31st, 2007 at 7:12 pmAnd at this very moment, our Senators, are considering
whether to give this worthless UN governance over all of the
oceans of the world PLUS governance of any activities on land
THAT MIGHT AFFECT THEIR OCEANS.
This is high treason.
Called Law Of The Sea Treaty.
Here’s the best part: Signatory nations agree that the treaty may
be amended in the future without the permission of the signatories.
Now who would be insane enough or stupid enough to ratify that?
Oh…..
