The Hezbollah are saying that after a 6 hour meeting with the Lebanese Govt...that they all agreed on an agreement that could lead to a cessation of fighting..BUT, I wouldn't assume that will happen.
Earlier today...Jennifer Griffin has a Breaking News Alert, saying that she had been told that the Israelis were willing to agree to a ceasefire even if Hezbollah doesn't disarm, and move from the border...
I got on here in panic...other freepers weren't so sure that was true..and sure enough, about 45 minutes later, she came back on and said that she had talked to Mark Regev, and he denied the report...
President Bush's Saturday radio speech reinterated his feeling that the goal has to be the destruction of the Hezbollah, I think.
I have to tell you mystery...the news seems to be so confusing lately that about the time I read something on here, I am hearing something different on TV...LOL

I've had my grandson all day today and I was totally out of the loop today on what has been happening.....thanks for the re-cap....I would be lost without FR....
From the President's radio address:
Yesterday, I met with Prime Minister Tony Blair to discuss our strategy to achieve these shared goals. We agreed that Lebanon's democratic government must be empowered to exercise full authority over its territory. Militias in Lebanon must be disarmed, the flow of illegal arms must be halted, and the Lebanese security services should deploy throughout the country. We also agreed that a robust multinational force must be dispatched to Lebanon quickly. An effective multinational force will help speed delivery of humanitarian relief, facilitate the return of displaced persons, and support the Lebanese government as it asserts full sovereignty over its territory and guards its borders. In addition, Iran must end its financial support and supply of weapons to terrorist groups such as Hezbollah -- and Syria must end its support for terrorism and respect Lebanon's sovereignty.
