What am I missing here. Is US negotiating with terrorist Hezbol? First question is Hezbol recognized as a nation by UN or they recognized as a terroristic organization. Israel is a sovereign nation who is fighting terrorism. Someone is pulling a fast one here.

They should have never sent Rice in the first place. It will just make her look weak and ineffective when the ceasefire falls apart. Someone below Rice's level should have been sent. No ceasefire will hold. This is just going to make America's Sec. of State look bad.

The keyword needs to be:
Lasting peace.
How can this be accomplished with Hezbollah still around and the Lebanese army, those who supposedly will be the main peacekeepers having Hezbollah fighters amongst their midst.
It's the day of reckoning delayed, either way, in favor of Israel with a new bitter fight, or in favor of Hezbollah's ultimate objective with Iran's support:
Annihilation of Israel.

"What am I missing here."
Olmert got the UN resolution he wanted. Now after the resolution he is invading as he should have weeks ago and cleaning out missile and Hezb. from South Lebanon.
After.
Makes no sense.

Israel should turn it DOWN. Some things are more important than the friendship of the United States. Honor and victory. And abandoning the boys tells every Israeli soldier that if they're taken hostage, their government will abandon them too - for a piece of paper. I demand Israel not agree to Rice's expectations. And if her leaders do, they will all pay the price.

I was surprised when she went at first, but now i disagree with you on the end result.
Yes, I agree the ceasefire will not hold.
But it will not be seen as Rice's fault and righfully so.
Her diplomacy has resulted in a resolution placing blame squarely on Hezbollah and engaging Lebanon and other governments in disarming them.
True, this will not likely work. But in the meantime Israel is allowed to continue going after their rockets and arms, can continue to hold their ground, and - hopefully - remove Olmert, get a real war cabinet and finish the job properly.
Rice has kept the UN and France on the right page and has continued to palce the blame squarely where it belongs and point to the real obstacle to peace.

To radar 101.
No, not Rice dropped the ball she did an admirable job. The French fell over and negated a negotiated agreement even calling Iran and Ahmadinejad a stabilizing force.
Olmert also missed badly, his Generals came close to disobedience when he disallowed right from the beginning to, together with his bombing raids, send strong ground forces.
He tried to bomb Hezbollah into submission but soon found out that he failed, nor did he realistically judge Hezbollah's strong resistance which struck Olmert by surprise.
Olmert wavered, then announcing a ground force, then calling operations back, and now going full ground again.
Nothing settled, Hezbollah still in fighting spirits, still in eradication mode of Israel
