I expected this thread to be packed with posts from those FReepers who've been condemning Israel for their wimping out and pulling back, and Bush for trying to stop them from wiping out the Hezbos. Weird how they haven't shown up... ;)
IIRC, this is where Saddam was rumored to have stashed his WMD's.
Those people are all on the Mel Gibson threads, making excuses for him.
I suppose I was one of those because I was appalled at the abject apology Israel issued after the Quana incident. An apology like that usually indicates that a country has utterly lost its nerve and the hand wringers have taken over foreign policy. I am glad to see that it was an aberration. Perhaps Dr. Rice was also appalled and said so to let Israel understand that Bush was not about to dump righteous indignation all over them.
Well, I'm half guilty, and it's looking like I was wrong about Olmert. I've never been so happy to be wrong about anything.
