IQ borders on zero

AWol talked to the press on Monday:
Q I'm sorry. How can the international force or the United States, if necessary, prevent Iran from resupplying Hezbollah?

THE PRESIDENT: The first step is -- and part of the mandate in the U.N. resolution was to secure Syria's borders. Iran is able to ship weapons to Hezbollah through Syria. Secondly is to deal -- is to help seal off the ports around Lebanon. In other words, there's -- part of the mandate and part of the mission of the troops, the UNIFIL troops will be to seal off the Syrian border.
Maxspeak and Juan Cole explain to clueless leader that the Syrian border and where the UNIFIL troops will be are two completely different places:



And Cole is baffled by "ports around Lebanon." Does he mean sealing Lebanese ports just as that country faces a huge humanitarian crisis which will require shiploads of food, water, bulldozers and other equipment to repair infrastructure to address?
