I don't know that that point was made at all. In fact, the intentionally loose verbiage of "all necessary measures to protect civilians" would seem to open the door to an occupational force, particularly as it authorizes member states to do so - without any manner of oversight UN task force. This is essentially carte blanche for a member state (though, realistically, only UNSC member states would have anywhere near the clout) to wander in and occupy Tripoli. That the Lebanese ambassador said otherwise is effectively meaningless in the face of the text of the resolution. I sincerely do hope both you and Lebanon end up being right, and no occupation happens. I hope.
