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
