No smackdown by Tony....I always look forward to that...
President will talk to Urban League and other civil rights groups. Understood that it is a group that has been critical. Plans to resubmit Bolton...it is still back up. He was renominated. Question is do you go back to Foreign Rel. committee or go to the floor. Wendell Goler: is Kofi wrong about steps? Tony: we want Israel to practice restraint and we have a couple of other goals to acheieve...integrity of Lebanese government and resolving the Palestining issue. We have a broader goal. More agreement in the region than how to proceed on the other problems. Wendell: int'l community should speak with 1 voice to stop the violence: Tony: au contraire...(in French). Sec. Annan wants the same thing we do an end to violence and the way to do that is for Hezbollah to stop it's thing. One party started it and that party has said it's willing to wage war and not stop. If Hezbollah returns soldiers and stops firing rockets then you have other goal.
