Officials: 1701 on verge of collapse
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, passed to stop the Second Lebanon War, is on the verge of collapse as Syria continues to rearm Hizbullah, senior defense officials warned Tuesday night ahead of a scheduled security cabinet meeting on Wednesday.

"Syria is rearming Hizbullah at a rapid pace and this is proof that 1701 has completely failed," one official said.
This is not exactly unexpected. I hate to say it but I told you so. I had a series of posts where I discussed the resolution and how it wasn't worth the paper it was written on. Believe it or not, I may have been too optimistic. I wrote:
How the ceasefire may play out
The situation in Southern Lebanon is basically back to where it is on July 12th, 2006
In fact, the situation today is much worse then it was July 12, 2006. Hezbollah has more rockets and more advanced weaponry then it had 2 years ago.
