Bolton paraphrases:

we were surprised Hezbollah had a Cruise type missile - that came from China via Iran / Syria

we (US) are not afraid of Hezbollah militarily, they are terrorists and hurt innocents

UN is not an end in itself

Currently it is complicated issue, many Arab Sunnis see rise of Iran and see influence of Iran or through its proxies

Q - Any chance that allies of Israel to assist?

This is an Israeli operation, they were attacked, they are carrying out self defense

Q - French pres was critical of Israeli response

Bolton - UN has not done yet what it could have done.

Terrorism and weapons of MD are two major threats facing UN / world.

Grade of UN is at best incomplete

Senior Hizbullah official: We reject Annan's call for ceasefire

Senior Hizbullah official: We reject Annan's call for ceasefire

A senior Hizbullah official said during an interview to the French news agency that his organization rejects the United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan's call for a ceasefire and for the release of abducted soldiers.


According to the official "It's obvious that we would refuse the offer. The only thing we are willing to accept is an immediate ceasefire and right after that a deal for prisoners' exchange." (AFP)

I know each country is different , but here in America we think of the U.S Marine that was labeled the "Marlboro Man" as the real Marlboro Man.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I realize that, and I agree. However, I was talking about the "typical" type of marlboro man. Lower caps, OK???? :)

Grade of incomplete was a mercy grade. I'd give it a D-/F+ ...looks like it goes through the motions, but doesn't deliver the goods. Over and over again.

Hezbollah rejected Koffee Kannan's call for ceasefire.

Koffee will probably go curl up in a fetal position now.

Toothless was the correct word for Kofi. Not spineless. Debg has better ear!
