Groundhog Day


In the UK's Daily Telegraph, an article titled Hizbollah rebuilds its military force under nose of UN begins with the ominous summary:

Hizbollah has stepped up the rebuilding of its military infrastructure in southern Lebanon despite the deployment in recent weeks of thousands of Lebanese troops and international peacekeepers to limit the Islamic militant group's activities.

Stepping back a bit, we have:

1999 - 2005: Conflict in Lebanon. Israel withdraws from Lebanon. UNIFIL move in. Hizbollah builds up its military capability.

2006 - ?: Conflict in Lebanon.  Israel withdraws from Lebanon. UNIFIL move in. Hizbollah builds up its military capability.

Bill Murray is about to wake-up in Groundhog Day. Again.
