Yes but Bush should as a leader state that he is for the defeat of Hezbollah at all costs or the bigger fight against islamoterror is a farce.

The war on terrorism is our war. It's the war of all free people. At least that's what I've heard our government say time and time again.

To ignore the fact that our government could have given Israel more PUBLIC support is to hide one's face in the sand. We knew what Olmert was like and more importantly what the members of his party were like and thus what kind of support he would need in order to justify a tough war. While Olmert certainly is responsible for most of the failure, I, at least, think we share in the responsibility.

Not surprised Olmert now wants a ceasefire. Soon he will launch a new offisive. He mentally unfit to run a country. Is there a way to remove him as soon as possible?

I can't believe the U.S. wants a ceasefire. We cannot lose this battle in the War on Terror. This is a big victory for terrorists.

I hope I didn't sound too strong responding to what you wrote, and if I did, please forgive me. I just prefer to make sure those families hold tight to an honorable sacrifice in their grief, and that the enemy does not think they've had the last laugh.

No worries, I wasn't offended. Just angered by what has happened.

Amazing isn't it...that almost every freeper here has asked about "what about the kidnapped soldiers?"...

BUT, NOT ONE MENTION on Fox since Olmert announced agreement...none.

The problem in the west is PCism...and those in the East who exploit it at every opportunity.

Is that because the resolution does not require the return of Israel's kidnapped soldiers?

The US has not done everything possible for Israel. Far from it. Once again, people refuse to recognize that our party's leaders can make a bad call.

I agree somewhat.

I would include the behavour of Europe, which every day is growing more disgusting.

I share your frustration, but I think the institution of such a policy might just work.

Colonel Hunt on Fox News just used the term "half assed". Twice!

Some in the US refer to MLRS as the CO's personal shotgun.

He wouldn't waste them.
