hmmm,thanks Efeler, I wonder how many SAT-SAS units will join to Lebanon mission!!! any information about that one!!!

ý always prefer a ýsraýleýs than the arabs or the fenýkýans or the lebanýes but what we are doýng ýs soo stupýd.

now we are goýng to a place whých ýs a buffer zone . both ýsraýles want to kýll lebanýes and lebanýes want to kýll ýsraýles . and we wýll be ýn the mýddle . wýth out any power.

and here most people says we must help our lebanýes frýend ?? what frýend ? when dýd they help us ?? how any proof ?

Also for 40 days ýsrael bomb lebanon and kýlled nearly 1400 people and mýstakely they kýlled 3 lebanon soldýer. Even the countrýes army dIdnt fýght back to ýsrael why would we go there to protect them.!!!!

there were a picture when the ýsrael was bombýng south lebanon 15 km north chrýstýan lebanýes were jogýng and havýng break fast on sun day !.

even ýt ýs a county dont help each other why we go there ???

may be for 1 or 2 moths every thýng will be quite but then.

hizbullah will atack ýsrael than ýsrael wýll atack back waht wýll hapen then !!.

ýn the mýddle of both sýdes!!

even to provacate the ýncýdents . ýsrael can shoot 2 3 soldýers from hýzbullah sýde and would say look hýzbullah shoots turkýsh troops !!.
or hýzbullah would shoot from the sýde of ýsrael and would say sýonýsts kýll muslým soldýer s !!!!

ok than solve the problem ....

at home only mothers cry and every body forgets.

fýrst we must deal wýth pkk than solve world problems.

Brother calm down, france and other countries have their troops their too. Turkey is'nt alone

hi my friend

france is sending legioners and they are not french nationality. if they die people wont give any importance because now adays they are mostly chinese or russýan. and they are paid to this. but we sent there kids at the age of 18 and 20 . and to a very hostille are where the peoples mýnds are full of foxes ( thinking lots of tricks).

like the other people says ýf our prime minister is sending other peoples sons to there he must sent his son to army fýrst .....
it is easy to say go and die for other peoples sons . first sent your son who is 30 years old and still dint do hýs army service and living in USA.
