Olmert accepted but he's not going to put it into effect now. The Israelis are there and they are there with UN blessing. If I was Nasrallah, I would wonder why the Israelis accepted a ceasefire. The Islamofascists may be celebrate their apparent victory now but I view this as a defeat for them. After the war's over, they'll face a devastated country. They'll have if all goes well, lost their southern Lebanon power base. They'll no longer be in a position to threaten Israel. Of course, I agree the devil is in the details. Now Hezbollah has to decide if they still want a ceasefire.

I had high hopes in the beginning that Bush would stick with Israel and not give in to the likes of the French.It seems he has abandoned them in exchange for the world loving us.I am disappointed becasue I know what this ultimately means down the road for Israel.

Well, let's hope the Israeli people now realize that they live in the toughest neighborhood on the planet and that having a lawyer running their country is a big mistake with thugs and murderers all around who ignore law and piss on constitutions and treaties. Olmert is a fool ... and the Israeli voters look foolish for putting him in office. Sadly, they will pay with their lives for this mistake.

Huh?

I thought we were in a war on terror? Silly me. Seems letting the terrorists win is a loss.....but I'm not a super duper bigwig at the UN. I guess Bush, Condi and Bolton don't consider Hezbollah in a negative way. Again, silly me.

Strongly disagree.

The way I look at it, Israel has just lost a war.

There is no doubt Hizbullah will be viewed as the clear victor here. This is an absolute disaster for Israel any way you look at it.

Israeli drone rockets car convoy in Lebanon, 2 dead

Israeli aircraft fired at least five rockets at a convoy of hundreds of cars carrying people fleeing south Lebanon on Friday, killing at least two people and wounding eight, witnesses and rescue workers said.

They said the convoy that had left the town of Marjayoun earlier in the day was targeted by at least one drone near the village of Kefraya in eastern Lebanon. Around 3,000 civilians and 350 Lebanese security men had left the town in the convoy a day after Israeli forces seized the area. (AP)

OH>>>and he also said that the partnership between Iran and RUSSIA is likely to speed up the day when Iran wipes out Israel and America...

25 years ago or so I read something that identified Gog and Magog as Russia and Iran and I thought to myself why would Russia and Iran ever ally to attack Israel? Fast forward 25 years...

That victory celebration would be an awfully enticing target

All the Hezbollah, out from hiding, in the open...

Also, Txsleuth says UNIFIL will be the "international force." Other reports say French and Turkish troops ...

I thought UNIFIL was out of the picture, out of the question; they would just be targets.

especially troubling is - hezbollah doesn't even seem to be a party to the ceasefire. they can simply remain silent.

Bush is incoherent if he helped push this. I guess taking it to terrorists and those who sponsor terrorists was just a big line..fool me again mr. elite. We need to end this madness now so our children can live in peace and I dont have to show my scrotum to a tsa officer when I board a plane.

No he hasn't and it's likely any ceasefire wouldn't take effect until Sunday.

But if these reports are true, that Olmert will agree to ANY ceasefire proposed by the UN, it's weakened the one mighty Israeli military in the eyes of the jihadists.

And just where do they go to get their reputations back?

One wonders how any Israelis could not have realized that. They've always had to fight for their lives against neighbors who hate them intensely.
