If america comits any more troops anywhere, Bush will fear for his life. The American public will not stand for it. Thats not to say I dont stand for it, I dont really know.

Just a thought, but I dont think Americans would been seen in such high esteem as their UN friends considering tehe U.S. did fund their enemy and give them the weapons to kill their families and friends.

I sorta guess that means they see French and other European nations as friendlier.

The only reason America isn't sending troops to Lebanon is to avoid increasing hostility of Hezbollah towards the UN. Those guys don't like Americans much as demonstrated when they murdered 241 Americans in 1983.

Yup,  BTDT

The flag thing was too funny in an ironic sort of way not to post it.  Get your panties in a bunch for all I care, it's still funny.

Yes, October 23, 1983 was not a good day.

America gets her fair share as well.  If france can't take it they should take their ball, go home, and quit being a country all together.

200+ this time. They are waiting for the "go" by UN.

They are crews and support personel for 4 MTBs (fast attack craft) Our forces for over seas duty are getting pretty stretched: Keep in mind the small population we have and that we have forces commited in Afghanistan and a force is getting ready for UN operations in Africa.

In total over 34000 Norwegians have served in Lebanon since 1977.

We lost 241 there before. They would attack us again and then we would pick up where Israel left off....while the French pull out. Is that what you want? Or do you think it is just good policy to land a couple American divisions in Lebanon?

When i posted 2000 i was replying to the comment that you made that indicated 200. You were wrong and made it sound like they committed few troops.. 2000 is not few and in no way deserves your " "

If you are going to roll your eyes at something then make sure you do so with the facts on your side.

To be fair, they had to be embarrassed to commit the 2K.

[Rash]

Think they said the rules of engagement where unclear.
