The drama queen has the vapors. Oh lawdy.

I'm out to pick up a jar of olives or onions. Maybe both. Y'all keep your wits about you.

There should be no gray area in our allegience to Israel. Their enemy is our enemy.

Condie belongs to the realist school. The President is siding with the neo-cons. As a neo-con myself, I am utterly delighted at the way things appear to be progressing now. Beautifully.

I'm confident President Bush wouldn't compromise Israel because of oil prices. He has more integrity than that.

to Bolton I have no answer except that (I think) he works for Condi

I don't think so. Ronald Reagan made Jean Kirkpatrick a full member of his Cabinet, she worked only for the President. I think Bolton works for the President too...he's not cabinet level but he's not a State Dept. flunky either.

I guess he forgot how hard he gripped that chair on the other side. Who votes for Shep to go back to Lebanon? I do. He should go on Al-Manar at this point.

There's even talk that there might not be a vote...something's changed or broken down...or maybe it was just a last ditch effort to see if Israel was firm in it's resolve?

Or maybe the talk about Bolton voting yes was psychops trying to get Hezz on board?

I disagree. Condi works at the pleasure of the President.

Yes she does and she is loyal to Bush. OTOH, my statement holds. Condi wants a ceasefire. Apparently she has convinced Bush to go along with what amounts to a Hezbollah victory to achieve it. He's the President and we are seeing the policy that Condi started out with 4 weeks ago ("We want a ceasefire") trumping Bush's stated policy for this conflict which required that Hezbollah be disarmed and removed as a direct threat to Israel.

Apparently Condi won the argument and therefor Bush lost it. Either that or he's asleep at the wheel. In any case the results are bad.

someone ought to tell Shep Israel can't defy a UN resolution that doesn't exist (sounds like the French may just shelve the resolution)

AMEN! I don't know what there is about people when they go to work in the State Department, they seem to lose all comment sense and reality. Ever since Condi Rice said that Colin Powell was her "mentor" both my husband and I have had very serious doubts about her and this latest stint with Israel has proven our assumptions correct.

It would help if we supplied IAF with the bunker busters they requested.
