As a side issue, partly because it's always good to take note of the perfidy of the French, the Coalition takes due note of the French A: demanding a cease-fire, B. promising a couple of thousand troops, C. actually now offering a couple of hundred engineers and then only if there's no chance of anybody shooting at them AND they "objected to troops coming under U.N. control -- another provision Paris had insisted on to meet Lebanese demands, BUT they still want to be in charge. Past experience being a guide, probably so they can cut deals with the hezzies and Syrians and Iranians under the table. The French ambassador
















is said to be greatly upset at the insinuations, and at UN bigshot Molloch Brown saying"We had hoped -- we make no secret of it -- that there would be a stronger French contribution," .
