Well..there is another waste of time...

Isn't that the Human Rights Council that the USA refused to join?

The official, who termed Syria's rising self-confidence "a problem for everyone," said that there had been chances to influence Syria, "but they were missed."

Regarding Israel's decision to leave Syria out of the current fighting in Lebanon, he said: "I don't want to say what my opinion of this decision is."

I think we all know what his opinion is.

Olmert has been beyond pitiful this last month

I have really tried to keep my hope up, but it is flagging mightily. I am afraid you are correct.

The Arab League has been allowed to take over the UNSC, and to me, that spells the end. The UN refuses to acknowledge Hezb. and only critizes Israel.

Olmert is sacrificing his entire country and allowed Israel to be raped by the Islamists. It will get worse in the days to come, unless there is a miracle (and I do believe in miracles). I just pray right now, that's all we can do.

Interesting...US position

The Israeli government basically deserted us.

US ambassador to UN: We're not playing games here

US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton said he did not think it was helpful to distract attention from negotiations over the US-French draft.

"We're not playing games here," said Bolton. "This is very serious."

Bolton said it was still possible that the council would be ready to vote Friday on the US-French proposal. (AP)

Good summary of the results of the delay. The start and stopping, advance and withdraw is not having much effect. Just like putting a toe in the water, pulling back, dipping, etc. It doesn't get a better waiting. Do it or not, and the choice is pretty clear right now.

Batchelor switching to London and aircraft plot now. Nothing knew to us here on FR. John Nicolson asking why the young terrorists, born and home grown, chose Islam over country. Why are they so isolated, estranged. (We all know why -- they have been brought up to believe in Jihad, to believe that Islam as a religion, lifestyle, political system is superior to all else and all else must be crushed.)

I'm not offended and didn't mean to sound so. I guess AJ just strikes me as a little too cute-sounding for an antichrist. I'm also disappointed and tired and trying to get some comfort out of Miss Marple's encouraging posts. It sounds like I'm in good company. :)

NewsMax is reporting that FBI is saying it wasnt Al Qaeda....

I would tend to agree since they made so many mistakes, such as including a british intelligence officer in the group.
