Lebanon's Future
“Israel and the U.S. don’t like to lose”
"WHAT ARE the implications of the multinational force that is supposed to be deployed in Southern Lebanon?
QUITE CLEARLY, the multinational force will not be defending the Lebanese people from Israeli aggression. Nor do I think, tactically, that they are going to be defending Israel from rockets either. So what are they going to be doing?
The French initially said they would lead this force of 15,000 troops, but then said they would send only a few hundred.
The rumors that we’re hearing is that Israel is taking a break--and it will resume its aggression against Lebanon pretty soon, and then against Iran in maybe six months. And when that aggression resumes, the multinational force will not be able to do anything.
Even sadder is that fact that the 15,000 Lebanese Army soldiers now in the South are hostages to the Israeli military, because our army is equipped like a police force, not a military one. It is absurd to think the Lebanese Army has the means to defend our country--it never did. Nor will the international community allow it to equip itself like a decent army.
I want to make it clear that I am against any non-Lebanese military force on Lebanese soil in all aspects."
