Until now, there has been no movement toward Israeli-Syrian disengagement. Israel has insisted that Syria make available a list of Israeli prisoners of war before negotiations begin-something Syria has adamantly refused to do until it gets an assurance that the Israelis will withdraw from Syrian land.

The task force failed to find the howitzers. Military observers believe that the insurgents are merely lying low, waiting for the government forces to withdraw before resuming the attacks. Said a Western military expert: "Neither side is strong enough to win, or weak enough to lose." A sure loser, however, will be once graceful and tranquil Phnom-Penh.
