16. What?

The text of the agreement in its entirety has been made public long ago. What is not in that agreement is speculative by definition.

It is not I who described the the US role in facilitating the cease fire, it is the cease fire agreement itself. And the US role is limited by the said agreement to, and I quote, this: " Israel and Lebanon resolve, in co-ordination with Unifil, to reformulate and enhance the tripartite mechanism (hereinafter: “the Mechanism”). The reformulated and enhanced Mechanism, hosted by Unifil, chaired by the US, and including France, will monitor, verify, and assist in ensuring enforcement of these commitments."

Monitor, verify and assist Israel and Lebanon through the above described mechanism.

What is so unclear about this? Couldn't you come up with a slightly less obviously misdirected and misguided failure of a sarcastic remark than the tirade I just read? How does any of what you insinuated change what the agreement says about the role of the US, and how does this role differ from anything that I previously stated it is?

If your rant constitutes anything resembling a basic concept, it is the the parties to the cease fire agreement, not the above referred to Sherman, who are having difficulty understanding it or your claims of its relevance to the agreement. The authors of the document must have been totally out of their minds to attempt to compose a document whose basic concept they were so poorly prepared to grasp.
