BEIRUT (AP) - Lebanon's defence minister said Thursday that Islamic militants holed up in a north Lebanon refugee camp have been defeated and that the month-long "military operation is over," except for mopping up.
"The Lebanese army has crushed those terrorists," Defence Minister Elias Murr said in a television interview late Thursday. "I can notify the Lebanese that the military operation is over," he said. "What is happening now is some cleanup ... and dismantling some mines."
The Lebanese army "has destroyed all Fatah Islam positions," Murr declared on the private Lebanese Broadcasting Television. "The army is combing the area," he said.

Murr said the camp would remain "a theatre of operations and under siege until they (remaining fighters) surrender."
You know, without a doubt, if Israel had done this; if she was currently doing the exact same things, the international left would be screaming naked in their black socks in the streets, illogically, stupidly equating Olmert with Hitler, the Star of David with a Swastika and so on...
The UN would hold a vote condemning Israel and all that predictable nonsense.
The MSM would be sure to propagate the anti-Israel propaganda, top and bottom of every hour for days.
But since it was Lebanon who bombed the "Palestinians" and their Fatah overlords, that's apparently a different matter, so the international left is fine with it in this case.
See? Absoulte, concrete proof that the international left is anti-Israel, period!
Why, oh why... is it ok for Lebanon to kill "Palestinian" enemies in self-defence, but not for Israel to do the same?
Why?
The international left would simplistically, brainlessly respond with words to the effect that I'm "ignorant". Indeed, a leftist recently left a comment saying, precisely, "you are ignorant", which I didn't bother to publish for its utter brainlessness and hypocritical ignorance. Besides, the leftist commentor said nothing else whatsoever, never attempted to make any case at all. So that leftist can, for all I care, go and join his/her naked, black-socks-clad moonbat fellow travellers/useful idiots/clueless Dhimmis on parade.
The international left is ignorant of the truth. And wilfully, submissively stupid, utterly brainless in conduct.
Let me be perfectly clear: Israel has an absolute, inalienable right to defend herself against any and all enemies whatever way she sees fit. Of this there can be no doubt. After all, if it's ok for Lebanon, it's ok for everyone else, including Israel.
Leftists are so stupid it's staggering! That's why I sit down whenever I read about leftists!
