"The Bush Administration has given Israel approximately two weeks to continue attacks on the Hizbullah terrorist infrastructure before negotiations should begin..."

Why are we dictating conditions to Israel? If Cuba bombed us, would we listen to dictates from Israel?

[rahbert]

Its not a diktat. Doubtless the President negociated this with the PM beforehand. Israel knows that the situation
cannot be allowed to persist where planes are bombing Lebanon and rockets are hitting Haifa.

On the other hand, I am curious about exactly who represents
the Hezb at the negociations? Kind of like negociating with
the Gambino Family.
