I don't know. I know the one place where Condi Rice has held to a solid theme, consistently, so it seems to me -- is her on air appearances on talk radio recently. The tone of her voice -- the inflections -- to me signal a relaxation in her. At all times in a very very difficult job like hers, and especially for her doing it so carefully, a diplomat of first rank must be on full guard in speech and appearance and speak through "facets" of understanding.

That international consensus building continues quietly...and AP is hoping the US will railroad Israel.

The Diplomatic Tango


One step forward,
then two steps back with him,
change your partner,
then do it all again,
Bouquet of carrots,
or stick twirled violently,
Peace comes hard won,
Yet war comes instantly.


Words, o words, o spinning words,
so diplomatically spoken,
offers float by like trial balloons,
piecrust promises broken.

Beware the knife he hides
there in his other hand,
who can you get him talking to,
to make him understand,
Gunfire rattles
are not a children's gift.
Peace is hard won,
what glue can heal this rift?

Words, o words, o spinning words,
so diplomatically spoken,
offers float by like trial balloons,
piecrust promises broken.

Feint and thrust and
don't let them see your plan
play them together
and hope they understand.
Cover your backside,
or else you'll feel the knife.
Peace comes hard won -
What balm will heal this strife?

Words, o words, o spinning words,
so diplomatically spoken,
offers float by like trial balloons,
piecrust promises broken.

The problem with all the ceasefire talk that the Democrats don't seem to get is that very few, if any, nations are going to commit troops to a war zone. So if Hezbollah doesn't approve a ceasefire, then nothing is going to change.

The Ticks, being feelers rather than thinkers, probably are hoping against hope.

WhereAnother fine moment of truth obscuring and spinadry brought to you by the Associated Press wing of the Totalitarians for Cultural Suicide.

You are so right...and I really thought that Tony Snow would tell President Bush that..because we talked about it a lot on his threads, when he still had his talk show.

And, NOW, with Zawahiri calling for the al-queda to help Hezbollah and other Muzzie terrorist groups...they are one big happy family...so there IS no excuse for the dems or anyone to call for anything LESS than for us to finish what we can in Iraq..

BUT, I don't know about you...I feel that either the dems are really too stupid to understand the danger of the Islamofascist terror groups....OR they are dangerous enough that they DO know, but don't care.

Tony and I talked about that issue via freepmail a few times and he understood how important it was to get that message out and stop letting the democrats lie about it.

But it looks like that is one issue he hasn't been able to get the president to re-visit.

It is from AP, though. But if it is BS, AP's getting a lot more blatant about what it's shovelling.

The Dems are only hawks when they're the ones in power. Jimmy Carter excluded.
