This is why I like C-span. They had the Syrian diplomat dealing with the Russians speaking and saying:

1. A cease-fire happen before any negotiations of substance.
2. After a cease-fire, MAYBE an exchange of prisoners can take place.
3. Israel started the aggression into Lebanon, so the exchange of prisoners will be difficult to pull off.

This is the kind of crap Israel and the US have to deal with.
Utter and complete nonsense.

Israel needs to just clear out 20 miles of Southern Lebanon, right along the Syrian border also.
Israel needs to level everything in this 20 mile region and make it a no man's land. Anything that enters this zone must be taken out by a UN enforcer Army and Airforce. If not, Israel and the US can accomplish the task.

This is just complete BS. The world refuses to deal with the real problem. Syria and Iran. Russia and China want them as a thorn. This is how I view the situation at this time.

They are now quoting many Lebanese Hezabollah government members. Nothing has changed. Spouting complete nonsense. Why is the world silent... where are our Arab neighbors??? Unbelievable nonsense. Everyone needs to hear this stuff to realize what they want... The destruction of Israel. These are pure and complete animals. No matter how they got this way, this is what the "Lebanese freedom fighters", can you believe they call themselves this, are now. Kill. Die. Thats all they know.
