U.N. Chief Affirms Support for UNIFIL Commander
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has welcomed the extension of a longtime peacekeeping operation in Lebanon, reiterating support for a commander who drew U.S. criticism.
Spokesman Stephane Dujarric said in a statement that the peacekeeping mission, known as UNIFIL, will keep enhancing its operations and Guterres has confidence in its leadership and staff.
The Security Council renewed the mission on Wednesday, with new instructions for more patrols with Lebanese forces and detailed reports when peacekeepers run into roadblocks in Hizbullah strongholds in southern Lebanon. The U.S. and Israel pushed for the changes, saying UNIFIL wasn't doing enough to stop an alleged Hizbullah buildup of illegal weapons.
U.S. Ambassador to U.N. Nikki Haley also said UNIFIL's commander was "blind" to Hizbullah.
The commander said he had no evidence it was happening.

My boyfriend The Mystic tells me that the great Mr The President Assad and his father the dear Mr The President Assad stood in the way of all the conspiracies against Lebanon. That is why whenever a conspirator got too big Mr The Presidents Assads sent over clear orders to put an end to them. Conspirators KJ, BG, RH, to name a few got too big and were quickly disposed off. My boyfriend The Mystic is such a tease would not tell me the full names of these conspirators, anyone got an idea? Regardless, my boyfriend The Mystic maintains that Mr The Presidents Assads always wanted what is best and safest for Lebanon which is to be again part of that great Syrian nation forever under a Mr The President Assad where it belongs. Now that the current Mr The President Assad has won this will be happening sooner than you think.

Put some Hizballah rockets in the lap of UNIFIL Commander and he still will not see them.
