Ynet News reported:
A senior advisor to US special envoy to the Middle East George Mitchell has threatened Lebanese army commander, that should his army initiate additional fire exchanges with Israel, the IDF would annihilate his military within four hours.This threat is against the sovereign Lebanese army, not Hezbollah. A U.S. diplomat delivered the message, not unlike Richard Armitage's threat to Pakistan to "bomb it back to the Stone Age." Oddly, flooding recently did just that to the people of Pakistan.
Israel admitted it used white phosphorous and dropped a million cluster bombs during its 2006 incursion in Lebanon. The U.S. did not hold Israel accountable for these acts. Israel's Uncle Sammy is consistent.
