Personally, I am calling on the "Gods of War" to see that his demand is IGNORED.
As I type IAF planes are dismantling various Lebanese ports. Lebanon is now a country with no means of exit or entry.
The reasoning behind the 72 hour window is that it will give us the necessary time to finish bombing this "joint" back into the early 80's. Hopefully the Lebanese army will be deployed to clear out the southern portion of Lebanon. This should provoke another hoped for Civil War.
Once again there is the POSSIBILITY of a "winning lottery ticket". HOPEFULLY Hezbollah will make some type of MOVE on the 25,000 Americans trying to be evacuated from the country.
Dateline: Caesarea, Israel

Not a chance and as usual you are wrong.
The last thing Israel wants is for this to escalate significantly. What will happen is this... It will go on for 3-4 more days until it all shakes out and Israel decides how much (not if) they're going to give in to demands. I really wish they wouldn't because when Israel negotiates with the less-savory elements it only perpetuates and promotes this kind of activity.
But, as we all know, Israel ALWAYS negotiates. Instead of having the stones to actually do more than lob missles which are killing hundreds, if not thousands of innocent Lebanese, they will, as always, give in and acceed to some extent.
Israel ALWAYS negotiates. Did it in 1972, did it a couple years ago. Will do it again in the next 5-7 days. They'll do it again two years from now.
All that will come of this is in the end is a badly damaged fledlging democracy in Lebanon struggle to survive and to feed and water their people.
Israel will not march into Syria. Israel will not go to Iran. Why should they? After all, it's far easier to put down the slingshot-toting Palestinians and lob some missles at the Democratic country of Lebanon.
