Rice welcomes 'positive' peace moves by Hezbollah ministers
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrived in Israel on Saturday for a new round of diplomacy aimed at ending more than two weeks of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah.
Rice, who was due to dine with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Saturday evening, said she hoped for agreement on the main conditions for a cease-fire to be outlined in a United Nations resolution that could be tabled as early as Wednesday. She was also to meet with Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.
Rice's plan to stop the fighting envisages the deployment of a multinational force in southern Lebanon, the disarming of Hezbollah and the return of abducted Israel Defense Forces soldiers, according to a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the discussions.
Rice welcomed as a "positive step" the agreement by Hezbollah cabinet members to seek an immediate cease-fire that would include the disarming of militias.

Imagine a headline that reads: Rice welcomes 'positive' peace moves by Al Quida.
Wolf-in-sheeps-clothing Alert.
There's no way in hell the Hezbos are going to disarm.
I wonder what is really going on.
The only ceasefire should be the one that comes when the last Hezzie scum has been eliminated and there's none of them left to shoot at or be shot back from. Tell Rice to go play the piano and let the Israelis effect a ceasefire through ending the lives of of those doing the firing at them.
Israel must not stop fighting because a cease fire only preseves the lives of the jihadists to fight again another day and kill more Israelies. Now why do we want to help preserve jihadists lives by getting "peace" with a cease-fire?

Good lord! Are there any honest leaders any longer?
Any cease fire agreement should be tied to the complete abandonment of Iran's nuke programs.
You bet. Unfortunately they are all on the enemy side.
They tell anyone who will listen their aims, and then they try to implement them.
Agreed. Let's not forget the kidnapped Israeli soldiers and UN Resolution 1559 as well.
It will be much worse next time because of this appeasement.
Dipomacy, peace plan, cease fire.
Translation to the terrorists language.......
Regroup, re-arm, recruit!
Damn it. Israel is going to cave in.
We should be fighting with them!
Rice should have her head examined.
First they say that Israel can take as much time as she needs to get this job done, and done right....
NOW they are saying that Rice wants it finished by WED????
I have an Idea:
STFU and stay out of it......
Is Israel/Ohlmert/Rice nuts? Why does giving Hezbollah and pals time to rearm...this time with rockets that will reach Telaviv, make sense? In a matter of weeks Iran will have nukes. Why does Israel think Iran with nukes is easier to deal with/defeat? Why not clean out the rats now?
I agree

Don't do it Israel
No Cease Fire until Hezbollah is annhiliated
Yeah there are, unfortunately, they have to lie to the media so they don't give away their strategy. Also, unfortunately, there are some who can't quite seem to figure that out and run around like little girls in a full fledged panic.
Oh I see! Rice is just being clever, and so are you with your little insults. Very nice.
She is saying what a "diplomat" says ... not what she's thinking, for cripes sake!
