Behind the scenes, it's entirely possible Condi said to the nincompoop, Look, you want ceasefire? Hezbollah releases the kidnapped soldiers and stops firing rockets into Israel, then we'll at least TALK about a ceasefire.
We really don't know what is being said privately.
Publicly, Condi's just very sad about the whole thing and wishes for a ceasefire.
However, Bush has made it crystal clear that a mere ceasefire with nothing more, is useless. And he has blamed Hezbollah, Syria and Iran for everything. I mean everything.
That's why I don't get worked up against Bush and Rice like some others I could name.
Agreed. He was very focused the other day with Blair. I would hate to think that 'George has gone wobbly' now.
Should be interesting to see the responses as the day develops.
