New spokesperson for blaming Israel: Mel Gibson.

[conservativepoet]

Sorry for slipping out on you guys. Had to get some rest. To answer your question, I don't know if the media would black it out. Depends on the size of the events.

[SE Mom]

HAaaaaa...it means they can't agree on who, what, when, where and why they should send international forces to keep the "peace"...

[sarasota]

Are these brilliant folks college grads from liberal universities by chance?

[roses of sharon]

Just logged in, what is happening about "timing"??

Thanks!

[RDTF]

oooh you poor thing! My sympathies. Glad we have you in the trenches!

[del4hope]

Makes perfect sense. We can hope that is the case.

"Is he out & out Hezzie or just a stooge?

(I'm up too late again!)"

Sorry I skipped out on you. Got some rest. Whoever he is, he's pitiful.

[RDTF]

I am betting the arab world has been played like a fiddle

17:25 UN official: UN indefinitely postpones meeting on new int`l force for Lebanon (Reuters)"

The international force is an idea championed by Rice.

July 31 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Monday she hoped agreement could be reached this week on a ceasefire and intervention force to end fighting between Israel and Lebanese Hizbollah guerrillas

I know I feel better now just knowing the UN has spoken. Maybe they can hire Hans Blix to monitor the situation.

http://www.tigerhawk.blogspot.com/ The Guardian, which does some great stuff even if it is suffused with the paper's lefty politics, is embedded with Hezbollah fighters. The most astonishing thing about linked article is the degree to which Hezbollah fighters admit to outrageous and illegal conduct, confident that the world will simply blame Israel.

Exactly, and the Ticks in the west are joining them in a great self-immolation. I've never seen a society so bent on cultural suicide as the intelligensia in America and Europe...

This moment of Jihadi gloating brought to you by the Totalitarians for Cultural Suicide, A/K/A the MSM and their poltical cohort

Vote was 14 to 1. Who was that lone dissenter - France? LOL

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Bibi is not going to calmly watch a shaky govenrment lose his nation for him. Negotiations, yelling, dealing no doubt going on where we can't see it...

[DCPatriot]

No one knows exactly what is going on -

...which is as it should be.

The imbedded media and those broadcasting from Israel and Lebanon should be silenced.

This handwringing and political correctness run amok is the ultimate WMD, IMO.

I want to go back to the way Israel conducted the 1967 WAR...surprise...and complete annilation of the enemy's capacity to wage war.

Israel should hold up a graphic of a destroyed Dresden in one hand and flip the world the bird with the other.

What part of "NEVER AGAIN!" don't people understand??
