Rice and Bush meet Saudi officials, then Rice heads for the ME after she presents a peace plan.

Sometimes a Nama has to do what a Nama has GOT to do!! LOL


WOW..what an awesome display..maybe Israel WANTS them shown, so that Lebanon and Hezzie will SEE what is getting ready to HIT THEM.

Obviously no one advised him to do that, since he's not doing it. :)

Eric Shawn reporting that Kofi Annen is using the term "alleged militants" to describe the Hezbollah terrorists...

KOFI is the enemy, folks.

Syria could enter the picture any minute with a broadside attack on the IDF. Hope they have their flanks covered and well armed birds in the air.

WASHINGTON -- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will lay out U.S. plans Friday for a diplomatic solution to the Israeli-Hezbollah fighting, and she and President Bush will meet with Saudi Arabian officials Sunday to discuss it.

Rice departs later Sunday for the Mideast, and will carry the U.S. strategy for ending the 10-day-old warfare and establishing stability in southern Lebanon, a senior administration official said.

[SE Mom]

EXACTLY right. It is a breathtaking sight.

Eric Shawn reporting from the UN...saying (with disbelief in his tone) ... UN uses the term "alleged" when refering to Hizbullah....

..sunset in the ME now.

[ScaniaBoy]

I think even Hezbollah would be pretty upset to be described as "alleged" militants.

:-)

Annan is a complete buffoon. But a dangerous one since he has the position he does.

[Txsleuth]

Sorry for the double post, folks.

[BurbankKarl]

I cant understand a thing they are say....they need a female translator so you can descramble the voices.

[samadams2000]

They should point blank ask the Lebanese PM if he wants Hezbollah ERRADICATED from the country. If he responds no, then war.
