Maria Claude: Your Last Three Responses Have Been Pathetic. Where are all your "sources" refuting my assertions? Shampoo, Invective, and Insults Are Not Argument.

Chere Marie-Claude:

So sorry you're French and have to tolerate hearing - for a change - what some Americans have come to understand as the "standard operating procedures" of the French Government [apparently approved by their polity].

">.... Why Have French Peacekeeping Forces in S. Lebanon allowed Hizbullah to be rearmed by Iran-through-Syria," [?]:

French "Peacekeeping" forces in S. Lebanon have allowed Hizbullah to rearm because the French are rabid anti-Israeli "Arabists" who consider backing Arab Muslims of any stripe over Jews 99% of the time. The decades of "side deals" of "support" in exchange for enormous "Oil for Food" bribes, were exposed when US forces captured documents of the Iraqi [Saddam] government.

When the Israeli government used "fly-overs" to monitor the flow of Iranian arms through Syria and to watch the "Peace Keepers" in their cantonments, France threatened to shoot down IAF planes. French refused to "patrol" after dark, so, after dark, they ceded S. Lebanon to Hizbullah and Iran to do what they wanted. And Hizbullah is quite appreciative... a "Concorde", perhaps?

None of the "assurances" given Israel for the "UN Cease Fire" [still in force] has been met by the Muslim side - as usual. The two Israeli soldiers Hizbullah "Kidnapped" from Israeli soil, are still missing, and not returned. [There's been some talk of demands for 14,000 convicted, jailed arab prisoners for the two innocent, kidnapped Israeli soldiers. Just what the Hell does that tell you ? Are we allowed to say that 1 Jew is worth 7,000 convicted Palestinian Arab terrorists ? Okay.

Iran has sent thousands of tonnes of materiel and new surface-to-air-missiles and [Quds Force of Revolutionary Guards] "technicians" to assist and train the Shi'a Hizbullah terrorists, whom they feed, cloth, supply, train and often "lead". How was this all done under the sharp eyes of the French Peacekeeping Forces?

">...Put the blame on .................France."

Okay. mariana
