Lebanese defense minister: Army will fight ground invasion
If they go through with this, it's an awfully stupid move.Lebanon's defense minister told al-Jazeera last night that if there is a ground invasion of Lebanon (which there is already - thousands of Israeli troops are in Lebanon), the Lebanese army will fight against Israel. I wonder what Prime Minister Fouad Siniora thinks of that.
"The Lebanese army - and I stress - the Lebanese army will resist and defend and will prove that it is an army that deserves respect," he said.Someone had better get him a ladder to get down from that tree in a hurry.
In most of the previous Israeli attacks, including in 1978 and the 1982 invasion in which Beirut was occupied, the Lebanese army largely stayed out of the fighting.
