Subverting the cease-fire agreement

Hezbullah’s man in power, Fuad Siniora, is working full-tilt to let Hezbullah stay in southern Lebanon—with their weapons.

The IDF will have to resume operations in Lebanon if the expanded United Nations force being assembled does not fulfill its obligation to dismantle Hizbullah, an official in the Prime Minister’s Office warned on Tuesday.

Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Saniora and Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah reportedly reached a deal allowing Hizbullah to keep its weapons but refrain from exhibiting them in public. Israeli officials called the arrangement a violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which passed over the weekend and was approved on Sunday by the cabinet.

And Kofi Annan is piling on. Say, why is it we have the opinion the world is against Israel again? Oh, yeah. Because of things like this:

“The resolution is clear that Hizbullah needs to be removed from the border area, embargoed and dismantled,” the official said. “If the resolution is not implemented, we will have to take action to prevent the rearming of Hizbullah. I don’t think backtracking will serve any useful purpose. There has to be pressure on Hizbullah to disarm or there will have to be another round.”

Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni is expected to raise the issue when she meets in New York on Wednesday with UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan.

Annan angered Israeli officials when he told Channel 2 on Tuesday that “dismantling Hizbullah is not the direct mandate of the UN,” which could only help Lebanon disarm the organization. Annan upset officials further when he said that deploying international forces in Lebanon would take “weeks or months,” and not days as expected.

As a matter of fact, Kofi, it is. Look at resolution 1559. Look at the UN charter. Your job is to keep the peace, asshat. Of course, the UN hasn’t even designated Hezbullah a terrorist organization, but neither can the UN agree on a definition of terrorism, thanks to the corrupt Arab and Muslim dictatorships that load the committees.

An official in the Prime Minister’s Office accused Annan of having an anti-Israel agenda.

“He has been one-sided,” the official said. “He tried to be even-handed in a situation that was clearly asymmetrical. When one side committed crimes against humanity and engaged in genocide and the other side defended itself, he cannot treat us in the same manner.”

Annan rejected charges of bias, saying, “I have been very hard on Hizbullah and condemned Hizbullah for what it has done. I have condemned Israel for what I consider excessive use of force but it doesn’t mean I am taking one side.”

Liar. You spent far more words condemning Israeli actions, and never issued a statement bemoaning Israeli civilian casualties. I looked. I waited. In vain.

Fire this shmuck. He’s past his expiration date.
