France being responsible for Israel's security along the northern border makes about as much sense as asking Iran/N. Korea to keep the peace. Israel is being led down the path to oblivion by the left, masquerading as the right.

in not agreeing to give up one more inch of its land,and ONLY seeks its own People's best interests,every thing is fine. If ANY agreement goes against this principles,Olmert MUST say NO! Enough of Israel's concessions!It is already passed the time for Israel's Will to prevail when related to its own issues.

After all, France has been for decades extremely unfriendly towards Israel, perhaps because of an widespread and ill disguised anti-semitism harbored my most Frenchmen. It seems to me that only American troops would be reliable enough as a peacekeeping buffering force. The thought of French troops in Shouther Lebanon makes me very uncomfortable and worried!!!!

France is going to cover Israel's back? You've got to be kidding. I can't even think of a snappy response, it's so goofy.This "buffer force" will last about as long as it takes one of Nasrallah's thugs to chamber a round. We Jews are going to be condemmed no matter what we do. Finish the job and deal with the self-righteous bitching of the international community after all the rocket launchers have been wiped out. We'll still hear the same "blame Israel" crap, but our people will be alive.

And Olmert has actually AGREED to this? French? AKA The Surrendering Nation? The guys who just recently had barbarian hordes burning and pillaging their cities while the police did nothing and the elites were pondering how to appease the barbarians? France - the state in which a high-ranking political recently called for war against Israel? France, in which Jews are brutalized while the government looks on? THEY are supposed to protect ME? How long will it take the French to start cooperating with Hizbolla? Or are they already discussing their future joint strategy? Sheeeeeeee-esh!

ISRAEL HAS LOST THIS WAR AND THE FINAL BATTLE , I HTINK IT IS A MATTR OF TIME ISRAEL WILL GIVE UP WESTBANK AND JERUSALEM, THEY HAVE WITNESSED THE IDF ARMY NOT THE SAME ARMY 1967-1980, THIS IS AN ARMY OF COWARDS AND MISSIONARIS FROM THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES HAS NO COMITMENT TO ISRAEL

with the frog history of "surrender first then run" what is the purpose of this futility? One can surely count on the french army quickly volunteering to being front-line agents for the terrorists

France is going to safeguard the peace? France is going to disarm Hezbollah? On the other hand, publishing a humor article could be just what we need now. FRANCE?

It has been announcde on NBC in the US that Shaaba Farms is to be given up, also. Again, land for temporary ,socalled, cessation of fighting. This will be turned around as a win for Hezbollah, and put a independent Lebanon at a disadvantage and Israel in still more peril.Can anyone eluminate as to other consequences? Or what can Israelis do to preclude this?

Where is Olmert's brain? Is there a European country that is filled with more hatred for Jews than France?

Unfortunately after the French commited their army to act as peacekeepers something horrible happened. Evidently the French surrendered to Iran and Syria and Germany again after a small Syrian child lit a firecracker near the French forces. The French Army immediately laid down their arms to the small Sryian child. The small Syrian child is thinking about renaming that Chomps del a Lise place because no one other than the French can pronounce it. Big Archy Thing is a the top of his list. Ricky Bobby

Would this be the 'vichy' division, a cut and run division, or just your basic it's Israel's fault division.

Well. From the beginning you wanted someone to defend you in the north but you do not want France now. Looks like you need US (money and soldiers). Okay, you should not be selective if you can not defend yourself.

I do not trust France or Lebanon, but this may be a good idea. The French Foreign Legion do not cut and run. They are as tough as they come and as President Bush would say they dont take no sh_t from no one. This corp is as tough as any that Israel has. They would have no qualms to use excessive force on Hizballah. If I was Hizballah I would be very worried about the French Foreign Legion.

Even that France is not frendly with us we must accept an international force that will make sure that hezbolah is disarmed and our kidnapped solders are returned alive. Well done Condoliza,,,viva USA

Are you kidding me. After all this talk the best they could come up with is the French army? I think it would be safer for Israel to have the Syrian army guard the border. This is surely a disaster waiting to happen. Like the current UN forces, France wont do anything to protect the border and stop Hizbollah activities.

France??? Why France? I don't even know whose side they are on. I have a bad feeling about this. Whenever France is involved there's trouble.

NWO is at work here. Peace can only benefit humanity. It is sad the loudest voices heard are the alledgedly elected. The people of this small planet are in this together. Let the Jihad be for what it is intended, stop the suffering of the common people. Don't the powers that be have enough? Let their be peace. Stop dividing human beings for their beliefs and upbringing. God bless all (There is only one Alla/God)

Thanks for stepping up to the plate. Please keep Hizbullah out of reach and out of sight and keep Israel out of Lebanon. PS- France; try to keep Israel out of Syrian & Palestinian territories if possible Merci

I will tell you, it is right beside his wife, daughter, cowerdly sons and his mentor who is in a deep coma never to wake up. just how stupid can the general public get by allowing such a person to guide them in their time when they are forced to fight for their very survival

Does Olmert not have a memory? Does he forget that Hezbollah blew up the French army barracks and killed dozen of French solders in the early 1980's, causing the French to flee Lebanon? Only an imbecile (French word) would count on the French to protect Israel's northern border from Hezbollah. I feel pity any French soldiers who are put into this.

Franch troops? Why not also Swedish, Norwegian, Russian & Iranian troops? They all "LOVE" Israel and certainly have her "interest" at heart. Any other screwd up ideas?Let's also add Saudi & Libyan troops for "good measure". Who comes up with these dopey ideas? Probably Peres & Beilin.

And now, they want to destroy France, after shouting UN observers. First is cease fire, RiceRice, first is ceasefire do not forget , you are badly playing Mozart !

Well, OK, so you do not agree France to be closer to you, you prefer to be alone, I mean alone .... not so alone, you are with George. ! But it is your choice, is it? (in fact we do not know, all the talbacks, all are coming from the cowboys land) . If it is your choice and you say you do not need neither EU neither France OK, we respect your choice. We say good luck. If in the future you change your mind and want an help, yes please ask for us, we certainly will come to help. Shalom Arsha

Back ..since 1983 Drakkar terror attack, when hezbollah killed 58 frenc paratroopers during their sleep? I hope no. I hope France will take part without tendancy to a Political neutrality, if Grance don't chose it's camps, the operation will fail like in 1983. Bon courage.

France is pro-Hizbollah. Ynot the US be the peacekeepers with high tech missiles and smart bombs ready. Whoever in that role has to be intimidating and not pussies like the French.
