How long do you estimate the new invasion of Lebanon will last?
Give an educated guess.
Will there be a ceasefire that Israel will accept?
Will there be a deal that Hezbollah will be pleased with?
With those factors in mind and much more on national news stations, how long do you estimate this war to go on?
"This world is a blank price tag, and whatever value you put on it, is what its worth to you. I have made this world priceless and worthless, so therefore I have placed my value in the afterlife."
I estimate 2 more months as I believe that is the time it will take Israel to deplete their reserve resources. I doubt that they will expend more then their surplus arms. I can not picture them spending one penny more then what they can spare.
I believe there will be a "cease fire" agreement but no surrender and no acceptance of any ones demands, by either side. The final result will be lost lives, war torn property and no victory for anyone. Israel will gain only in the fact that this has resulted in Iran misdirecting funds, equipment and personnel away from Iran.
Like so many conflicts in the past 5 decades, I do not see any winners. Just a question of who can most sustain the loses. Wars of today are no longer fought on battle fields. The deaths and destruction are merely indications of how much you can force another country into directing it's internal wealth away from self care. I can't help and think of how many schools and hospitals could have been built in Iran, just with the cost of the Katyusha rockets that have been used to date. If the figures I read are true, it appears that the monetary damage done by them is much less then what it cost Iran to procure them. I would say the objective is to make Iran spend it's resources on war efforts and side track any resources from home improvements.
If the peace deal holds the war could be over on Monday. The Israelis have signed off on it and so has the Lebanese government and Hezbollah. The only thing that could trigger more violence would be Hezbollah firing missiles on Monday. If that happens it could go on for another few months.
I doubt if the Israeli troops will be out of Lebannon until after the UN troops and the Lebannese Army are in place in Southern Lebannon. It is interesting to see the make up of the peace keeping force that will be in South Lebannon. From what I've been reading it will be 30,000 soldiers. !5,000 from the Lebannese Army, the other 15,000 from UN troops. Bangladesh will be in charge of the UN troops and have pledged 3,000 soldiers to the UN. The I'm not too certain what countries the other troops will be from except both France and Italy will be sending in troops. So far it does not appear any of the UN forces will be from the USA, UK or Israel. so we are still looking at 6 to 8 weeks before all of the Israeli forces are out of Lebannon. The UN forces will probably be there for years.
And I hope it stays that way. Any assistance or leadership from the West will only lead to condemination.
Hopefully we finaly learned that. Now if the UN will do it's job. So far the only thing I've ever seen the UN do is plege help all over the place and once we get suckered into providing troops the other nations pull out and leave us holding the bag. Can you tell I'm an advocate for us to get out of the UN, send the Headquarters back to the Hague and they can use the old "Former league of Nations" building. We can then demolish the UN building in NYC and use the land as a much needed new dump for Manhattan.
In my opinion the UN has never helped the US. The majority of the members have yet to pay any of their dues and the US has been financing their membership, yet they veto every proposistion the US makes. I say "Get the US out of the UN and get the UN out of the US"
with Hamas they still continue to kill childrena dn still say they maintian the treaty
Actually the latest child killed was a Palestinian boy killed by Hamas. I have yet to see your hard line posts cursing Hamas's name with the same rigor you curse Israel when they kill a child. Or is it that don't actually care about the children unless it suits your agenda to care for them?
The Lebanese government has stated they have no interest in disarming Hezbollah. The disarming of Hezbollah is included in the resolution and peace deal. Unfortunately, the U.N. force isn't going to have the mandate to pursue such an action. I am quite skeptical that this peace will last for much longer, but I hope that I'm wrong.
I didn't wake this thread up I found somebody voted in it but I didn't vote. I just was talking about the new Israeli report about the war and how they said they failed.
