Operation "Truthful Promise"

Our liberal Canadian friend "Black Wolf" is concerned that PM Harper will try to mislead Canadians just as the US has been misled.
He just doent [sic] get it does he, this is Canada his american [sic] political publicists, tells [sic] him that if he keeps on saying a lie, people will believe it, well not in my country, this works south of us but here little man, the people rule, if you don't change the peoples [sic] policies according to their wishes your [sic] "replaced". This pro-bush [sic] policy isn't even his own, this smacks right into what he said a few years ago, that he "admires" americans [sic], the world is a mess, we are on the verge of a major war, children are dying, nations conquer their neighbors [sic] lands, start wars with the same propaganda that was taken in 1939 with Poland, but he doesn't care about our place in the eyes of the world, as a country who sees both sides of the coin. His heroes, the american [sic] right, has [sic] broken all international laws in Iraq, and Israel is now doing the same.

The "same propagada" URL leads to a collection of "news" sources that report that the two kidnapped Israeli soldiers were captured inside Lebanon.

The Nazi parallel is a stretch, to say the least. The problem of Hezbollah in Lebanon was recognized by the UN and resulted in a resolution calling for control of the southern border by the Lebanese army through the disbanding of all foreign and Lebanese militias. Would both-sides-of-the-coin-seeing Canada have vetoed that resolution?
Yet the resolution has not been enforced. Hezbollah remains free to operate along with border.

So, what about the claim that the soldiers were taken in Lebanon?
Does that square with Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah's claim that the abductions came according to a long-planned operation that he called "Operation Truthful Promise"?

Would one need much advance planning to arrest Israeli soldiers on the wrong side of the border, I wonder?

Let's hope that Canada isn't as far gone as Black Wolf paints it.
