Formulation is important, and OP12 is obviously trying hard to allow maximum stretching of what it means and allows, and what not.In other words: those 15000 UNIFIL personnell will be toothless tigers.

It also does nothing to prevent Hezbollah to rearm again, this time with missiles that can be fired from beyond the UNIFIL-controlled zone. OP15 is an unneeded paragraph and will be simply ignored, because it will not be controlled.

Ahmadinejad shouldn't say the resolution is meaningless. It perfectly fits his needs. It saves Hezbollah from collapsing, and despite the wording, leaves him the acting freedom to rearm them again. If I were Israel, I would ignore it. But it probably won't. The politicians have messed up the military effort so widely that they may consider the UNIFIL "solution" to be their only exit ticket (remember that they did not want a UN force at any cost in the beginning, but an international combat force, for good reason. I guess no country was willing to give troops for that).

Projection: in a couple of years, Israel will need to strike Hezbollah again, and we will be were we are now. Well-done, UN!
