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.

Israel was only willing to go so far on the ground - we've seen that all along. this is just the end game for what was their choice all along.

I disagree. It's been painfully obvious that Olmert didn't have the guts to wage this war. Bush gave him cover for a month. Olmert did nothing with it.

While Olmert may be relieved this is over, I'd bet Bush is not. But, it is Israel's war, not ours.

More resolution [Rich Lowry]

Was just talking to a friend who was noting that there is intense anger toward Israel within the administration for botching the war. He thinks the attitude was, "What's the point of giving them more time when they do nothing with it?" He thinks it's the worst defeat for Israel since 1948. He also guesses that the reason that the French flipped against the first resolution wasn't so much the Lebanese reaction as the realization of how poorly Israel was faring militarily. His general rule when it comes to U.N. resolutions in the Middle East is that they either simply reflect the facts on the ground, or make the victor give away a little bit of his victory; they never let someone pull victory out of a hat from defeat. So Israel will utlimately get from this resoltuon what they won on the ground, which is to say not much.

Sounds to me that Bush is angry at the Isaeli's for botching the war. He got them all the time they needed and they tried to run a PC war.
