Farah finds himself alone in thinking no ceasefire?!
What an egomaniac!

I find myself virtually alone in public life with this plea: Do not stop Israel's offensive in Lebanon until the job is finished.
All the diplomatic ninnies in the world are pinning their hopes for peace in the Middle East on a cease-fire. For the life of me, I don't know why. I can't imagine what good could possibly come from a cease-fire when Israel appears close to destroying the infrastructure of the largest Islamic terrorist organization on the planet.
You want proof that a cease-fire is exactly the wrong thing for Lebanon and the Middle East? Here it is: Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah is begging Arab leaders to promote an immediate cease-fire.
What should this tell you?
It should tell you that Israel is kicking the butt of Iran's puppet militia in Lebanon. This is a good thing. Why would any sane, moral, freedom-loving person want it to stop?
So desperate is Nasrallah that he is now trying to kiss and make up with the very Arab leaders who have spurned his aggression against Israel and denounced the attacks that began the conflict. Only two weeks ago, Nasrallah was damning these Arab leaders and telling them Hezbollah didn't need or want their help.
Apparently, the situation has changed.
Now he is imploring them to demand a cease-fire in their private meetings with U.S. officials.
Don't get me wrong. No one wants to see this conflict continue one day longer than necessary. But in war, it is often necessary to defeat the enemy before a lasting peace can be achieved. Hezbollah is nearing defeat.You can hear it in Nasrallah's quavering voice.
A cease-fire in Lebanon now will only ensure one outcome – it will permit Hezbollah to terrorize another day.
Who in their right mind would want that?
Still, I hear Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and others suggest that achieving a cease-fire is some kind of breakthrough.
A cease-fire is not in the best interests of Lebanon. A cease-fire is not in the best interests of Israel. A cease-fire is not in the best interests of the U.S. A cease-fire is not in the best interests of peace and freedom in the Middle East.
A cease-fire now is only in the best interests of Hezbollah and its sponsors in Iran.
They are on the verge of a major setback. They are on the verge of a major defeat. Maybe they are on the verge of extinction.
Nothing could be better for the future of Lebanon than to chase these Iranian impostors out of the country once and for all. In fact, Lebanon doesn't have a real chance at freedom without removing Hezbollah from the equation. If Israel can do the job, this conflict could prove to be the best thing to happen to Lebanon since the Syrian army was forced to leave.
And please, please pay heed to who Nasrallah blames for his predicament – the USA.
He gives Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert a pass, saying he ''and his government are no more than tools in this war.''
''I'd like to stress this by saying that the blood of the women and children in Qana and the blood of all the elderly and the blood of the innocent civilians that has been spilled in Lebanon stains the faces of Bush, Condoleezza Rice, [Secretary of Defense Donald] Rumsfeld and Vice President [Dick] Cheney,'' he said. ''This is the murderous, criminal, aggressive and blood-shedding administration which continues to prevent the cessation of the aggression by making conditions and trying to dictate them.''
Notice his goal: cease-fire.
He must be denied.
(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em Down Hezbullies.)
"Hassan Nasrallah is begging for a ceasefire."
Is this true? (Great news, if it is, just not aware of this development other than hearsay)
(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em Down Hezbullies.)
Farah finds himself alone in thinking no ceasefire?!
What an egomaniac!
The guy is a loon.
As long as dead Arab babies are photographed and spun around the world as being Israel's fault, Israel will never have the support of the idiots of the world.
Are we eating our own now?
Does this mean you support a cease-fire?
What latent thoughts made you think of Farah in the nude?
Inquiring minds want to know...
Hizzbuttholes only honor ceasefires when they assume room temp.
Revoke their breathing privilages!
I want a ceasefire too!!!
Cease fire, my @X#@!! And let them re-arm?? Israel, grind 'em into the dirt! Tally ho!
Do you? Do you really? There are things better left unknown, for your own safety and sanity.
LOL!
That is a gross mischaracterization of the U.S. position. President Bush, Secretary Rice and John Bolton are absolutely committed to Israel's security and the disarmament of Hezbollah. The U.S. has gone the extra mile to provide Israel with diplomatic cover to continue their military operations, while crafting a political solution that is acceptable to Israel and will accomplish the objective of disarming Hezbollah.
Judging from comments Nasrallah made at the al-Jazeera interview on July 22nd:
"Tell me about a war that was waged against a state because of two soldiers. This has never happened in history. Nor has Israel done it anytime before. However, what is happening today is not a reaction to the kidnapping of two soldiers. I repeat that this is an international decision and an Arab cover..."

Nasrallah's aim was the take-over of what remained of the pathetic Lebanese Government.
He wants a ceasefire because he clearly misunderestimated Israel's reaction.
Poor Fella, that Yella Nasrallah!
Hezb'Allah go to Hell Ahhhhh.....
There should be a $1 million dollar bounty on Nazrallah's head. We'll see who his friends are then.
We might add in 144 virgins to the winner as well. LOL
Joseph is not alone in that
Nonsense. The only incessant pleas are that **Israel** stop defending itself...and even then those pleas only come from out-of-power left-wingers who have a vested interest in seeing problems persist for President Bush.
None of the MSM reporters are asking tough questions of Hezbollah in interviews. Hezbollah just shot up a UN Protection Force group in Southern Lebanon, yet no one in the news media is calling for a Qana-style "investigation" of such an attack on the UN.
And Democrats, for their part, are blaming President Bush for "over-extending" the U.S. as their explanation of why France is needed for a UN resolution (ignoring that France has a UN veto).
In contrast, President Bush has given two interviews already in which he said that Hezbollah must be disarmed per UN Resolution 1559 (and will give another speech on the matter here in a few hours), while our Ambassador Bolton is giving the UN pure Hell about Hezbollah being removed from southern Lebanon.
Bush gets it. Bolton gets it. The GOP gets it (e.g. Rudi Giuliani, Karl Rove, the entire GOP House).
But Joe Farah is an egomaniac. He hates President Bush, and now he's fantasizing that only Joe Farah stands with the Jews in this fight.
This is not the sort of man you want in your foxhole with you. Give him a few days and he'll be ranting about Y2k, black helicopters, and open borders again...forgetting Israel unless it can serve as some twisted analogy to some quack-pot theory that only Joe Farah could invent.
I personally don't like Condi's latest efforts at a two stage solution to the problem. I know she's not claiming it's going to stop the fighting, but we are trying to placate the idiots on the left here and in Europe. That's a wasted effort. Instead we should be explaining to the world why it's more reasoned for Israel to kick butt now, than to allow Hezbollah to regroup under a flag of peace.
What makes me ill about this is something I saw today on FoxNews. Here was a Republican and a Democrat facing off on the new Condi brokered plan. The Republican was stating that it was reasoned and the Democrat was saying it was a sell-out of Israel. The Democrat was saying that we had no business telling Israel to sign up for a ceasefire.
You and I know, that's not exactly what Condi was asking for. The problem is, the Democrat was so on target that the Republican had a hard time sounding reasoned on the subject.
The Democrate voiced exactly what you and I want. The Republican sat there trying to explain Condi's efforts, and about all he could come up with, is that sooner or later it would bring peace.
I gotta tell ya, the short exchange was painful to watch.
I'm not a big fan of Farrah, but we've got to ignore the idiots and quit acting as if the prime objective is to bring peace to the region. No! We tried that for a years. Now the prime objective is to exterminate, plain and simple.
We probably agree on this more than we disagree. I'm not trying to make a big deal out of it. I just want Israel to be given a green light with no vague double-talk whatsoever mixed in. As for the U.N., there isn't any way in hell I'd involve them in a peace plan. They've been on the border between Lebanon and Israel and have watch Hezbollah arm to the teeth without so much as a single word on the subject. They are not qualified to be involved further. AT ALL!
I am not as confortable with the politicos in D.C. as you seem to be. That's just my take on it.
Damn straight. If anything we should be helping them.
I agree with your assessment, HAL9000: It's how I see it too.
