Tanks line the side of a road in Bangkok's outskirts September 21, 2006. Thailand was back to work as normal on Thursday, less than 36 hours after a military coup condemned by international leaders but endorsed by the royal palace and greeted by many Thais with relief. The military shut down the city on Wednesday, in the interests of maintaining calm, they said. But Bangkok traffic was back to the familiar near-gridlock, while coup leaders worked on fulfilling a promise of a civilian prime minister in two weeks.

Stupid question - do the Germans have Marines? I know they used to in the pre-WWI era, and I know that they have Kampfschwimmers now, but is there anything like an organized Marine Corps or are those soliders in the pics really sailors in flecktarn?

Not just Kampfschwimmer, but a whole SEKM regiment-sized unit. However, there is no amphibious/marine brigade or division, and Germany lacks the sort of amphibious assault vessels that some European countries have.

Hezbollah kept people guessing if its leader will attend a massive victory rally in Beirut that will take place Friday as Israel was evasive about whether it would try to assassinate the militant chief if he appears in public. Arabic writing on flags reads "At your service Nasrallah" referring to Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, with the names of the different villages and towns of southern Lebanon.

Figure skaters Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy refused Thursday, Sept. 21, 2006, to drop their controversial coach despite threats from the German figure skating federation. The federation warned the former European Championships silver medalists their contracts would be terminated and they would be shut out of international competitions if Ingo Steuer remained their coach. Steuer was dropped by the Germans because of alleged ties to former East Germany's secret police. (AP Photo/Amy Sancetta)

And you think we didn't tell you this before hand when you guys were b!tchin and moning to the UN. Honestly what the Fcuk are these UN troops gonna do? It doesn't look like they're disarming hezbollah? Well I guess you UNFIL troops are gonna have to move aside and let the Israeli troops in to do what needs to be done!

I just noticed the soldier on the far left has a sidearm, I was under the impression the the only ones that had sidearms where special units. Can someone clarify.

So you see no difference between an israeli soldier and a hezbollah terrorist?

[Count Lippe]

So you see no difference between an israeli soldier and a hezbollah terrorist?

Their job is to be neutral, they depend on cooperation from both sides. Since the Lebanese authorites are useless, they have to deal with Hezbollah.


If you want my opinnion, the UN should have stayed out of there and let the Israelis and Muslims kill each other, so that we don't have to deal with their BS any longer. Go ahead, duke it out between each other, or finally make peace!

[theeagle]

I have yet to see a picture of UNIFIL peacekeepers making friends with israelis. But I agree - the UN should not have interfered.
