Rice just said we are going to give 50 mil to leb. NOW...

Easy for HER to say, eh?

O'course it was Israel that BUILT the infrastructure in southern Lebanon during the 18 years occupation. Seems Lebanon can't do any of this for themselves, even with sponsorship from Syria, Iran and Russia.

Hmmm.... Are we chumps?

When Israel surrendered half itself for peace, it wasn't enough.

When they pulled out of Gaza, and send soldiers in to move fellow Israeli citizens out so someone else could have their homes and farms, it wasn't enough.

Now, Israel went to war to protect itself, but lost because the government no longer had the will to fight.

The people of Israel need to decide between two things. Either a new government (done legally) or find a new home. Because the current government is bent on suicide, and will is more likely to attack the citizens of Israel than those who kidnap soldiers and blow up women and children

He needs to write his representative.

Israel needs to figure out if it wants to survive or not.

The return of the soldiers isn't written in the resolution where I could see it...

Anyone, anyone??

She also said that the captured Israeli soldiers MUST be returned..

For her to say that is meaningless. It's not in the resolution. I am ashamed of her dishonesty in making that statement ... playing with lives.

Tony Snow is being just wonderful on BOR. I hope his children are watching. He is a remarkable man. (Also they have found makeup that doesn't run in the heat. I need to ask him about that.)

When this is all over one day, the book by Bolton or Rice or even Bush will explain how this went down and prove a lot of people wrong. I don't think the resolution is going to work because Iran and Syria really don't want peace. I think they are going to do all in their power to totally disrupt the process, then the REAL war starts.

Although the draft resolution emphasizes the need for the "unconditional release" of the two Israeli soldiers whose July 12 capture by Hezbollah sparked the conflict, that call is not included in the list of steps required for a lasting cease-fire.

You're right on L.E.

Very important News (read completely):

Sources in Jerusalem say no contradiction between UN move, war in field;


note ceasefire will anyway wait for multinational force's arrival.
