kallum ,   perth   (06.30.07)
which is more offensive? smuggling of weapons, or gathering intelligence so the next time those ILLEGAL weapons are used, at least the israelis have some data about where they will be? use some common sense and study some history you tool
6. Ban "urge" and "encourage" Syria
john ,   nz   (06.30.07)
not to do it.? Does anyone seriously think Syria would listen to Ban or UN for that matter? Of cos not. The only way Assad would listen is Ban to send a strong, non corrupted international force to thwart this operation. NATO? NZAF? hehe I say what Ban is doing is another cover-up to show he is doing his job when he is not. Once again we're being fooled.
7. The UN can "ask" Sryia all it wants

8. BAN the man
kutuzov ,   new york   (06.30.07)
Even though he works and repreents the most useless organization in the world.... still he does seem like a nice guy. Day and night compared to Kofi Annan (Arab lackey). Hopoe Ban continues to be for the causes of democracy and civilization.

11. Miserable illusion!
T.I ,   Israel   (06.30.07)
Ban, my friend don't except nothing from syria because Assad would'nt give up about Lebanon as a part of syria unless he will be getting a large package of economics incentives. But also the Saudis wants to preserve their stakes in Lebanon. everybody wants Lebanon beacuse Lebanon is the 'paris of the middle east'. the lebanese people always been the hostages of us, Syria and Iran. meanwhile, I'm urge you, the 14 march's forces continue to be strong, god bless you, all of you are the liberations of your country, we will meet soon in the battlefield as a allies forever!!!
12. Pathetic
freejay ,   Israel   (06.30.07)
Yeah, im sure they will listen to you moon. The Un has done such a great job stopping the influx of weapons.......they are sooooooooo scared of you...hahahahahahaha. Why is the UN even bother to exist? It seems their only purpose is to file resolutions at israel, and well, ........nothing much else. What a pathetic group of orrupt individuals run by a corrupt little man.

(06.30.07)
you are such a moron. where do you think lebanon is getting all this information regarding transport of arms from syria to hizbullah in southern lebanon???? where? you know where? from israeli fighter jets' reconnaisance missions who do "violate" lebanese air space" by a silent invitation from saniora's leberal governement in fact. if lebanon doesn't complain, why should you? not interested in lebanese maintaining their freedom from the evil axis?
14. who is this guy? what is he doing at the UN?
kofi the kof   (06.30.07)
15. Damascus-a terrorism nest.
from outside   (06.30.07)
It isn't on the Syrian agenda to "better control it's border against arms smuggling ".To help the madness continue is more like their agenda.Taking control in Lebanon is valuable to Damascus.They believe that(Israel)a formal membership nation of the UN will cease to exist if their fighters gets the weapons.Israel constantly occupying Arab land is their opinion.And they see them selves as the colonial governors of Lebanon.So Mr.Moon, you have to fight for justice to occur regarding both Israel and Lebanon.An UN resolution must be valuable to you.!?
16. Cold pressing, Ban can't make. He has to have weight
(06.30.07)
17. All these posts
leon ,   Grand Rapids USA   (06.30.07)
You guys simply don't understand. He has to talk. He gets paid for talking. That's his only job....talk talk talk - quack quack quack......
18. Good on you #13
vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (06.30.07)
You beat me to it. Before the pals started in Lebanon, we got on well with them. Lebanon was one of the most modern and richest arab countries in the Mid-East before Syria started on it. We supported the Christians more than the Christian world did. Thanks to Syria they are back in the mid. ages.
19. #2, you of course have evidence for your claim?
Danny   (06.30.07)
How many missions there were and how many there are now? Or are you simply making it up?
20. It's time
charles ,   petach tikva   (06.30.07)
It had to be said much earlier , saying is not enough , we need deeds to stop this . Of course Syria will deny it , they "control" everything , and this arms smuggling does'nt happen for them . Israeli Airplanes in Lebanon's sky ? Yes , if the UN do'nt look at those arms smuggling , we have to do it , otherwise , where should Ban receive this information ? So we had to it , for the UN . And you Benny weiss , look at what could have awaited you in London . A nice present from your friends .
