For all that is holy as my witness I never expect to see the day

This would be the news:

Israeli Prime Minister would welcome Germans as Occupying Force

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said he would welcome German troops participating in an international force in southern Lebanon, according to a newspaper interview published Friday.

German officials have not ruled out contributing soldiers to a security force, but Chancellor Angela Merkel has said that "we as Germans should approach this region with the greatest caution."

Truly one of the great understatements ever uttered.
