Subject: Re: Meanwhile, in Lebanon...

Maybe the Lebanese can work with the Israelis to clean those losers out now that their paymasters in Tehran have more pressing needs for what little cash they have left.

First problem is Hezbollah is larger than the Lebanese army.

Second problem, how reliable are the grunts in the Lebanese army? Would they attack Hezbollah, or go over to their side?

Meanwhile.

Israel demands a "security zone" in southern Lebanon.

At the meeting Rubio hosted, the Lebanese ambassador said words to the effect "we are a sovereign country. You can't simply take a twenty mile deep slice".

Meanwhile Israeli zealots are chomping at the bit to fill that "security zone" with settlements.

Complicated, isn't it?
