Uncle? Lebanon says it's Now Ready to Deploy Its Army to the South

So after weeks of bombing, the legitimate Government of Lebanon has finally agreed to take control of South Lebanon and of its border region with Israel, something that should have been done years ago. The devil is in the detail; if this means that South Lebanon will be under the full and exclusive control of the legitimate Government of Lebanon and not a Proxy army of Iranian-backed Islamo-fascists, then progress towards a cease-fire may indeed be possible. This still leaves open the question of disarming the Islamo-fascists and returning the Israeli prisoners. Perhaps a few more weeks of stepped-up bombing will resolve that issue as well? The key for Israel and the West is that Hezbollah not be seen as gaining anything from the war that they initiated, and that the strategic balance be settled in favor of stability and peace, in short, in favor of Israel.
