Weekly Standard: "DURING THE RECENT month-long war between Hezbollah and Israel, U.N. "peacekeeping" forces made a startling contribution: They openly published daily real-time intelligence, of obvious usefulness to Hezbollah, on the location, equipment, and force structure of Israeli troops in Lebanon.
UNIFIL--the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, a nearly 2,000-man blue-helmet contingent that has been present on the Lebanon-Israel border since 1978--is officially neutral. Yet, throughout the recent war, it posted on its website for all to see precise information about the movements of Israeli Defense Forces soldiers and the nature of their weaponry and materiel, even specifying the placement of IDF safety structures within hours of their construction. New information was sometimes only 30 minutes old when it was posted, and never more than 24 hours old.
Meanwhile, UNIFIL posted not a single item of specific intelligence regarding Hezbollah forces. Statements on the order of Hezbollah "fired rockets in large numbers from various locations" and Hezbollah's rockets "were fired in significantly larger numbers from various locations" are as precise as its coverage of the other side ever got."
Nice of the 'peace keepers' to do that, aiding and abeting a group that murduers civilions with impunity, even with intention.
Thats the global peace organization...

If you want to know where and how to hit, just read the news paper!
So this UN contingent that has been there since 78, what have they done to keep the peace? Absolutely NOTHING! So what makes us think that they will do anything different this time? It all sounds pretty nice and el with 30k troops but that's not going to happen. What country would want to donate and pay for this?
Heh. Not france, they sent 300.
