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.

Wait for the fat lady to sing.

I saw. You should have seen the CNN spot from the neighborhood where the suspects were picked up. Young muslims talking about how unfair it was and one said he knew two of the guys... he went to Biochem in college with him for three years and he played football on the team with him... Can you say arrest ASAP?

Someone posted an editorial by Edward Koch...and in it he was ALL PRAISE for Bush's position...sticking with Israel...and sticking with his own doctrine of NOT negotiating with terrorists (Hezbollah)...

Therefore, I would NOT want to be President Bush if he goes OPPOSITE of what Koch is praising him for...(if you want to be political--especially not this close to November (impeachment, doncha know)).

probably don't want a civil war between the soccer rowdies and the islamic rowdies...

My money is on the soccer rowdies. They are perhaps among the few who admit what is going on.

Let me see your wings, because you must have been a fly in the meetinds to know that Condi has prevailed.

Wonder who else might be in the sites. Exactly how big....

Are some of these plots part of what Bush & Co, are looking at, in addition to UN proposals and in addition to oil prices and in addition to (fill in the blank)?

I doubt that we know what half of the chess pieces even look like. There is a world-wide strategy playing out here.

Misunderestimation occurs at everyone's peril, I fear.

Disagree. Her job is to make it look like they want a ceasefire and delay things out.

And that is exactly what is happening right now.

Condie belongs to the realist school.

I don't like this "realist" business. Makes them sound more serious or something. It should be periodically noted that "realist" means member of the school of "realpolitik" most famously introduced by Henry Kissinger (who is no longer a member I think) and implies support for stability and the status quo ante all costs.

No ceasefire.
UN supposed to meet at 7 EST. France doodles and says the new draft may not be ready.

I don't know... but the sky isn't quite falling.
