"Seems the CAIR puke doesn't realize that Israel actually puts great importance on 2 soldiers being snatched by terrorists. As we would and should."

Hooper is among the worst of them. They just don't hold the same value for life that we (and Israel) do.

I'm reminded of a comment in a documentary about gang violence. A gang member was asked if he didn't value life. His response was, "Yes, I value life.....MINE".

I do not understand anything about what's going on within the UN today.

EXCEPT, this reminds me of the eleventh hour flurried activity in the negotiations with Turkey right before we went into Iraq.....and we all know how that turned out.

Ever try negotiating with somebody who doesn't show up to the meeting, like Hezbollah? Seems we're only negotiating with Israel and Lebanon. Hezbollah is laughing it's fool head off.

Isn't it past quittin' time at the UN? Y'know, time to start with the cocktail parties, etc.? So, no vote, I hope.

And is Israel full speed ahead to the North as I last heard? Or ... ?

The suspense is too much as to what happens when ...

Did sound like they have reached some kind of agreement. Especially if Condi is going to make the announcement.


To someone earlier--Bolton works for Sec of State. Condi is his boss.

Iran's dictator is whining... I love it even as Israel is going to take Hezbollah apart. And just to rub it in, the Americans will delay the vote as long as necessary. I think its by design. They want that Mad Dog real riled up!

Of course the end result is a disaster but the diplomacy "worked" and that is what counts.

Poetry in motion.

"a reaffirmation of the status quo out of their hat"

I agree with your analysis but I'm quite sure this kind of crap comes from the other end of the body..... :^(

This is madness...I 've never seen anything like the coverage today.

Peter King and Ed Koch..sounded as though they were supporting Israel..but they weren't. (That's just my opinion)

Kissinger is the only one I've heard today who GETS IT.

So..you are of the belief that President Bush is going against his own doctrine of not negotiating with terrorists groups.. because he is saving OLMERT'S BUTT???

LOL>..Well, Chapter 7 is full bankruptcy regarding your funds...

BUT, in this case, Chapter 6 is possible death for Israelis.

Hezbollah is laughing it's fool head off.

Perhaps, but I think their collective heads are spinning. Hezbollah are pawns in this chess game and they know their "king" and "queen" are more than willing to sacrifice them to win.

Perhaps Bush is doing this because he knows that a ceasefore will result in Olmert being given the heave ho and a more effective govt being formed
