Tzipi Livni: Maybe You Should Take Some Blame

So current FM and PM hopeful Tzipi" I need to get the hair out of my eyes" Livni is out complaining about arms smuggling into Lebanon. According to the JPost.com: "The continued weapons smuggling from Syria into Lebanon is a flagrant violation of UN Security Council resolutions, and the countries involved must be held responsible, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni told UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon on Wednesday. According to a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry, Livni told the UN chief that the arms smuggling endangers the entire region, and its continuation contradicts Syrian commitments made to the UN regarding a cessation of such activity. "

Now correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Livni continue to say that her push to pass UN Security Council Resolution 1701, was her crowning diplomatic achievement. That fact that none of Israel's enemies have upheld this resolution and continue fortifying southern Lebanon in anticipation of the next war, only bothers Livni because it's a 'flagrant violation of the resolution." Maybe she should be bothered by the fact that she made a terrible mistake, and this resolution is disaster for Israel.

Livni keeps taking pride in the resolution. Maybe it's time she stop blaming our enemies and accept some blame for her failed diplomatic 'achievement.' Maybe Livni should be held responsible.
