Mr. Eylat, You suggest: "Hizbullah is using UN radio frequencies to communicate orders to and from their Katyusha rocket personnel.. This criminal tactic by Hizbullah deliberately puts unarmed UNTSO personnel in harms way .." And I suggest that Mr. Annan and Company is clearly working for Hizbullah. As such, UNTSO personnel can properly be considered the (un-armed?) force of the "United" "Nations".
Whether Mr. Annan is asking for suicide volunteers or is simply 'volunteering' them himself is my question. It's a matter of (video) record that Palestinian terrorists have used UN supplied ambulances as protective shields - hiding behind these vehicles while shooting at Israelis and then hopping into them to be transported to the next strategic location. It's a matter of record that said vehicles have willingly backed up in order to facilitate efforts of terrorists. Apparently UN ambulances are doing some moonlighting as makeshift Humvees. Go to: http://www.youtube.com and search: Palestinians UN Ambulances.
I don't believe for a moment that Mr. Annan has lost his tongue; he's simply employing it much like those ambulances he deployed: To pretend to help civilized efforts while deceptively aiding the enemy.
