The UN’s second in command, anti-American George Soros pal Mark Malloch Brown, who doesn’t believe we should label Hizballah a terrorist organization, is making an urgent appeal to Europe to provide Lebanon peacekeepers.

Because all those nations that were screaming so loudly for a ceasefire are now dragging their heels.

UNITED NATIONS (AFP) - UN Deputy Secretary General Mark Malloch Brown made an urgent appeal for European countries to quickly provide troops for a peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon.

“The particular appeal I want to make today is that Europe comes forward with troops for this first wave,” he told journalists.

While around half a dozen countries have offered troops, European powers expected to have provided key contributions have proven reluctant to give firm troop pledges for a 3,500-strong vanguard force due to be in place in 10 days.
