There was no condemnation from the Secretary of Hezbollah's reprehensible practice of using Lebanese civilians as human shields.

Careful now. You'll have the 'Condi for President' or 'Condi for Saint' people swooping down on you, pecking like a buzzard on roadkill.

I couldn't care less if she's ever President.

I support the President's policy, which is exactly the right one and has been clearly spelled out.

I have no problem with what she said. This is diplospeak. But she is absolutely firm in her words of blaming the entire thing on Hezbollah attacking Israel from Lebanese territory being the reason all of this has happened, and that more than a mere ceasefire is absolutely to be insisted upon.

Israel says it has proof of firing coming from near the building. The issue of human shields is out there and will stay out there.

I will let the whole thing play out and trust the President and Condi unless they go back on their basic policy.

On the face of it Madam Secretary has lost her mind. The terrorists have been bombing Israel for about 50 years now.
This time the Hizzies have gone to far and are getting what they deserve for it. It appears that Sec. Rice thinks that a ceasefire is the answer, it is not. They will only rearm and try it again and again. There is a time when dedicated people refuse to learn from history.

Ms Rice may be a highly intelligent woman, with a great future in politics, but she is a failure as a Sec of State. As others have said before me, we need someone with fire in their eyes, ice in their veins, fluent in ME language(s) and testicles. She fails in at least two of the categories.

Doesn't matter, she is not taken seriously by most of the world community, especially the muslims.
