Sure we have failed, and this is due to Olmert and his friends. We weren't supposed to do a war then. This is the result of a person who do something unplaned. Lebanon win because they are brave, they have been much more intellignet then all our politicians and more brave then all our army. We have lost because this is the results of all our works. Destroying a complete country without being able to take out the SNAKE. What a failure....wahat a FAILURE!!!!

in israel. anyway i hope the 2 soldiers return home safely (& they will be safe i assure u)

Is the world blind? the offensive is still engaged even after UN resolution voted. How can u accept what's going on. Yesterday Israel gave green light to a convoy to leave Marjayoun they even obliged them to follow a specific road. 5 hours later the convoy is hit by the IAF leaving 7 dead and 39 wounded. A carnage says CNN. Free killing... what's this? how can the IAF be so inhuman y give them the green light to leave? Is it to hunt them better? does human blood have no more importance in the eyes of the IAF? this is so unhuman God sees all this. And you want peace?

The correct would be soldiers to be back;1559 resolution to be implemented and THEN Israel could start talking.Up to then ,Israel should not stop using all its means in order to protect itself and prevent further attacks. Up to now, these kind of agreements always failed;UNIFIL failed;Lebanon government failed,so what is the point to repeat the same and to believe in promisses that will not be honored? I guess that ,FIRST ,CONCRETE ACTS that terror will stop against Israel must be proved ,and then Israel could start stoping its acts in defending its country and its people. My opinion is that THIS RESOLUTION CAN NOT BE ACEPTED BY ISRAEL! The death of Israeli soldiers and citizens must not be in vain! Note:This resolution talks about international humanitarian aid to reconstruct libanon ,but what about the destruction os Israeli's properties,businesses ,etc? WHO STARTED THIS WAR? WHO KILLED 8 SOLDIERS AND KIDNAPPED 2,INVADING A SOVEREIGN TERRITORY???

failure ofcourse. HIZBULLAH WIN

Let us do a recap of the war objectives: 1- Unconditional swap of the two Israeli soldiers 2- A 20KM buffer zone 3- Destruction of the resistance infrastructure 4- Stop the missile shoot out 5- Implementation of 1559 Of all these objectives, no. 5 has been realized and trust me it is done with the consent of the Lebanese. What were the objectives of the resistance? 1- Swap of our POW in the israelis jails with the two soldiers [which will happen] 2- Maintain the balance of terror in addition to this, the resistance managed to have : 1- A full lebanese support 2- Nasrallah became a leader throughout the whole world 3- Israeli barbarism has been once again confirmed at the eyes of the international community 4- The israelis for the first time have tasted the poison they offered others. Shelters, missiles, destruction are the offering of issrael that this latter tasted it. 5- the legend of the IDF has been broken and this would inspire the palestinians IDF, Olemert, and Peretz....thank you

If god forbid this resolution is addopted as such, what happened now is peanuts compared to what will happen in the future. Kofi Anan has no clout whatsoever Unifil is the funniest joke since comedy was invented.

Guys its a succes... HA will cease to exist and it have to be moved over the Litani river... thats the most important part... Israel wanted it and recived it

I believe war must continue untill the radical fundamentalist group is broken militarily and at this time only we can say Israel and all the MIDDLE EAST is safe and secure.

Kofi Anan is so biased against Israel,soon he is going to lean too far and fall.Maybe he should quit while on top and go into into making movies. They can make a sequal to Gorillas in the mist and he can be the chief gorrila.

to take out the Hizbullah garbage.. If youre really christian, make a stand and do something for your country, because as of now its in the hands of fascists, or are you planning on forever being the silent majority in Lebanon????

Hizbullah is no resistance its a band of thugs, united in its religious intolerance. After 2000, there was no need for any resisitance, but in Hizbullahs mind a need to wipe out Israel. And actually Lebanon is likely damaged nearly beyond repair save the grace of the western nations. and Hizbullahs most hated nation besides Israel.. the USA. Trust me there is no full support of the Lebanese people, Nasrallahs stupidity just took Lebanon back many years in terms of its development, maybe his sponsors Syria and Iran can foot the bills to repair both Lebanon and Israel. Im not sure how inspired Palestinians are when most of the Hamass members are under house arrest. Then again maybe we just see things as glass half empty, glass half full.. have a nice day .. I know I did...

I think this text is an insult to comprehension capabilities of Arabic people and muslims. It is obviously written by Israel and Israel tries to present it as if written by others and it may show fake reluctance to accept it just to fool other side. I do not think any idiots are there to accept such a text. It contains Disarmaments of Hizbullah without mentioning Hizbullah. Only when You win a war you can make them bow and sign such a submission agreement, when you lost the war, and it is obvious from your defeat news each day- you cannot find anybody to sign it. I think somebody should tell Mr Olmert that Israel lost the war. Any just text should include, 1. Unconditional retreat from Arabic lands including Schaaba farms. 2. Full compensation to Lebanon of all IDF attacks in lebanon including infrastructure, bridges etc. 3. Criminal tribunal of Israeli Government members before a really international court for their War crimes. I think only then a solid ground for future peace may be set following a ceasefire. Othewise Olmert and Israel Cabinet's pretended decision to expand Operation will not end with a ceasefire as they relied on acceptance of such a UN text by Lebenan and Israel will find herself in real expansion of War and count more hundreds of deaths each day.

just like Israel keeps its prisons

Fight IDF till is retreats to its border, that’s the only way these idiots will let you live freely. These idiots want to enslave you and drag their so-called peace process, remember they have nothing to loose as long as they hold on to your land, and so fight IDF, the free world will support you.

Rule # 1 In the Middle East, it is always the Arabs that attack first, and it's always Israel who defends itself. This is called "Retaliation". Rule # 2 The Arabs, whether Palestinians or Lebanese, are not allowed to kill Israelis. This is called "Terrorism". Rule # 3 Israel has the right to kill Arab civilians, this is called "Self-Defense", or these days "Collateral Damage". Rule # 4 When Israel kills too many civilians, the Western world calls for restraint. This is called the "Reaction of the International Community". Rule # 5 Palestinians and Lebanese do not have the right to capture Israeli military, not even a limited number, not even 1 or 2. This is called "Kidnapping". Rule # 6 Israel has the right to capture as many Palestinians as they want (Palestinians: around 10,000 to date, 300 of which are children, Lebanese: 1000s to date, being held without trial). There is no limit; there is no need for proof of guilt or trial. This is called "War on Terrorism". Rule # 7 When you say "Hezbollah", always be sure to add "supported by Syria and Iran". this is called: "Axis of Evil". Rule # 8 When you say "Israel", never say "supported by the USA, the UK and other European countries", for people (God forbid) might believe this is not an equal conflict. This is called "Helping our Friends". Rule # 9 When it comes to Israel, don't mention the words "occupied territories", "UN resolutions", "Geneva conventions". This could distress the audience and is called "Anti-Semitism". Rule # 10 Israelis speak better English than Arabs. This is why we let them speak out as much as possible, so that they can explain rules. 1 through 9. This is called "Neutral Journalism". Rule # 11 If you don't agree with these rules or if you favor the Arab side over the Israeli side, you must be a very dangerous anti-Semite.

its clear that we lost the war and lost the peace due to the weak political and military leadership of Olmert, Peretz and Halutz

The big loser = Israel Now that the Muslim world know what today’s Israel's military can accomplish, more terrorist organization will take advantage of this situation.

Seems like Patty's prayers are not working... Where are you Peterson? Why don't you call Jesus and ask him for help?! What? Did he hang on you?! Oh, I forgot, he doesn't talk to idiots like you.

The IDF said it did not know of such an attack. The IDF knew about the convoy (reading the press statements of UNIFIL). In that same press statement it is also noted that a convoy got shot at with small arms by Hezbollah. I am not saying here that the particular convoy you mentioned had been hit by Hezbollah instead of the IDF, but I should be careful to accuse without knowing the details and hear both sides. We all know what that leads us to.

A Regular Army loses if it doesn't win... A Resistance wins if it doesn't lose...

Non so blind as those who will not see. Especially when the smell of oil burns your eyes. It seems no one in the UN are aware that the war took place in Israel as well.the north of Israel is devastated with over 1million people who fled their homes. No different to Lebanon, but its jewish lives so what the hell

i think its disgraceful that it is not mentioned that iran and syria should stop supporting hisbollah and sending arms to hisbollah.the us and the eu have to wake up and realize that a war against iran is inevitable and they should act quickly because an iran with nuclear weapons is not just a danger for israel but for the whole world.

Do you think that IDF was fighting with red light for 1 month??? So with green light you will be award with another UN resolution without the returne of 2 soldiers... Back off now or 2 late

Israel wanted the kidnapped soldiers. Israel wanted to stop the rockets by force. Israel wanted to finish on HA. HA was ready to cease fire from day one, on the proviso Israel retreat from lebanon and stop offensive. (which will happen) You tell me now, who won? Success:):) ya right
