WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 - Israel has asked the Bush administration to speed delivery of short-range antipersonnel rockets armed with cluster munitions, which it could use to strike Hezbollah missile sites in Lebanon, two American officials said Thursday.
"Neither the Lebanese government nor Hezbollah has said publicly whether they would sign on to the deal, but it was widely assumed that they did not object to it. "

In latest video aired on Al-Manar TV terror group says it ‘defeated the invincible army’
Roee Nahmias
Hizbullah did not wait for the official UN Security Council announcement on a ceasefire and launched its own media campaign declaring it had 'won the war against Israel.'
In the latest video aired on Al-Manar TV the terror group says it “defeated the invincible army” and “July-August 2006: Legend shattered.”
The new video clips show thousands of supporters waving Hizbullah and Lebanon flags.
These clips, which are aired between regularly-scheduled programs, include excerpts from Hassan Nasrallah speeches in which he had promised victory; similar videos were aired during the IDF’s withdrawal from Lebanon in May 2000.
Meanwhile, the Lebanese government is preparing for war’s conclusion; Prime Minister Fouad Siniora met with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabi Berri to discuss the deployment of the army in the south. Some reports said a Hizbullah member also took part in the meeting, but Berri’s associates denied the reports.
It was also reported that Arab League and Lebanese representatives met in New York with US and French officials.
'Honorable way out'
It appears that Lebanon will agree to the compromise offer according to which the IDF will gradually pull out of the country.
Last Wednesday Nasrallah said in his speech that Hizbullah supported a decision by the Lebanese government, which includes a Hizbullah minister, to deploy 15,000 troops to the border if that would bolster Lebanon's calls for the resolution to include a demand for Israel's immediate withdrawal from the south.
"If everyone sees that deploying the army will help find a way out politically that would result in the halting of aggression ... This for us is a national and honorable way out," he said.
Lebanese officials estimate that Iran and Syria will not oppose a ceasefire deal; this seems reasonable in light of the fact that the two countries have repeatedly called for a ceasefire, apparently in a bid to keep Hizbullah from collapsing so that it may take part in future confrontations with Israel.
"...I just can't deal with this...this cannot be happening in a sane world."

Yes indeed this is very sad, but not all is lost.
There will most certainly come another day because the threat is still there (beyond Lebanon) and growing.
These islamonutjobs remind me of the character (don't remember the name) from Greek mythology ...the woman's head with all the snakes growing out of it. Ugh.
"An enhanced UNIFIL" Ooooh...now I feel better! /s
Making speeches/spankings... about to vote.

Pinz
And so have we! WAKE UP, WORLD!!!
Just like we're training the Iraqi army that will turn on us
Yer great... I love YA!!
Bush is not against Israel he is supportive of it. It is Olmert that should have had the balls to say NO and stick to his guns. You should not blame Bush for actions of others like weak limpy liberal Olmert.
Will do.
50 million $$$ from the US to Lebanon.
