Title:#11 Something I need to point out to BEN
Name:Johnboy
City: SydneyState: Australia
BJ: "There were three parties involved, Lebanon, Israel & UNIFIL"

Indeed, and BEN consistently misrepresents the obligations that 1701 places upon all three of those parties.

BEN is then outraged when Lebanon and UNIFIL do not fulfill the obligations that BEN has assigned to them.

Sorry, BEN, but they don`t do what you demand for one very simple reason: they know what they are obligated to do under 1701, and you do not.

Garbage In = Garbage Out.

BJ: "Don`t be like Johnboy, seeing only one side of #1701 without flipping it to see the other side"

And I`ll repeat: BEN keeps flipping that coin over but won`t read what is written on it.

He knows what he *wants* that coin to represent, and so that`s what he assumes is written on it.

But he never takes the time to double-check that assumption, and if he did he`d see he is wrong.

Garbage In = Garbage Out.
