-- full implementation of the relevant provisions of the Taif Accords, and of resolutions 1559 (2004) and 1680 (2006), that require the disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon, so that, pursuant to the Lebanese cabinet decision of 27 July 2006, there will be no weapons or authority in Lebanon other than that of the Lebanese State;

If I'm reading this right, this portion calls for the disarmament of Hizbollah, a point I thought the UN had conceded. This could be the 'fine print', so to speak, but I'm not 100% sure. Even then, I don't see how it impacts the Sept 15th closing date on this wager. Anyone?

but are you factoring in the US/CDN dollar exchange?

no....that would be 2.66 per gallon or 3.27....i'm all mixed up now

Hey Panda...how many kilometers per liter does your car get?

I have no clue.

I drive an Elantra, so I know it's good, but I don't know for sure.

And it's kilometres and litres. Sheesh. Even when you guys steal our words, you still gotta change them up!

Bloody Yanks.

There are weapons being brought into Lebanon at this moment.

From all fronts. There are weapons being brought in to supply the Lebanese army, and of course Iran and Syria are undoubtedly helping Hizbollah restock. No doubt, after the increased support Hizbollah received, there are more countries backing them. And let's not forget that the US continues to ship scads of bunker busters and other assorted fun stuff to Israel on a regular basis.

None of this means anyone will be lobbing bombs at each other by September 15th, tho.

Since weapons sales to Hizbollah are impossible to prove, how could Skybook use this point to declare an end to the ceasefire? Maybe someone needs to get on the phone with them to clarify ... ??
