Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni met with French and Belgian officials yesterday, and came home with a promise for more European troops. Italy had already announced an additional 3,000 troops, and if we read this right then Vital Perspective has Chirac promising about 2,000 more troops. In other news, Hezbollah leaders are said to be locked in meetings trying to figure out the best way to use the the 5,000 new human shields that they've just been promised... especially since UNIFIL has announced that they won't be doing anything useful like actually disarming Hezbollah.
