Speechless! But the thought of the term, "All hat and no cattle", comes to mind!

[Jeff Head]

Unless Hezbollah is humbled and begs and pleads for an unconditional surrender to Israel, any UN or other brokered cease-fire is worthless and will not hold. It will only embolden these terrorists claim that they "won" and commit more acts of terror.

envisions a phased withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon when violence subsides

Now that's an interesting comment. That could mean weeks from now...

In his statement, Bush again blamed Hizbollah for sparking the violence last month through an "unprovoked terrorist attack" on Israel.

Do note who he is blaming for this war

[Mr Ramsbotham]

I'm feeling about the same way now as I did regarding the 1993 World Series, when the Phillies brought in the "Wild Thing" in the ninth inning. "Surely," I thought, "Jim Fregosi knows what he's doing. Surely this is a cunning plan to hold on and win Game 6, forcing a seventh game in the series which the Phillies are sure to win. Surely I know nothing about managing a major league baseball team. Surely ...."

This does not suprise me. He's always been pro-UN for the most part. I'm sick of this globalism bullshit. It doesn't work. Well, Israel..we'll see you in this same situation 6 years from now--AGAIN.

You give them sight, Lord, but they do not see...

For the clueless here, I'm not talking about Bush.

Actually I don't visit the Washington Post at all. This was taken in it's exact form from the following http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060812/pl_nm/mideast_un_bush_dc_1

I would really appreciate it if you would put back the entire article and put my source in, if possible. I don't think JR has a problem with Yahoo. Awaiting your action or response.

[B.O. Plenty]

Me too!

...maybe this be some secret strategery by Pres Bush in order to actually win this war?...because if it is not..I only have to conclude that our President really don't have a clue as to the nature of our enemy....and his actions will get possibly millions of us killed right here in downtown America.

We can only wonder if he would accept a "peace plan" when the car bombs start going off at your local mall.

Again I ask you in open forum, after a private response to restore this thread to it's original form. My post was not taken from the Washington Post, doesn't even have the same title. It was taken from Yahoo with the title as given and not the title "Bush phones Siniora on UN resolution" which the link you edited into my post carries one to.

Follow the link here http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060812/pl_nm/mideast_un_bush_dc_1and you will see it is not even the same article.

Is your job to protect Jim Robinson and Free Republic or to keep the thread as pro Bush/GOP as you can. Keeping folks from reading the news as found and posted?

It more than likely doesn't matter now as the thread is dead more than likely because you made the changes you did, to infer that it came from the Washington Post.

Sad day all around to include the free and open discussion here on Free Republic, even when done so in accordance to the rules Jim, so wisely, made after his problems with the Times and Post.

The long lasting peace that Condi wanted.
