Sure. Bush went to the UN and brokered a deal that would allow the Hezboes to regroup and rearm.
Anyway, he brokered a deal on the world statge; everyone signed off; gave the Hezzies plenty of rope.
Instead of just letting Israel wipe them off the face of the earth to begin with?
Are you seriously telling us you think W thought the Hezzies, Syria and Iran would play by the rules?
I think in his gut Bush actually believes that Islam is a religion of peace and that they can be trusted.
Most of us know better and would NEVER give our enemies in the WOT time to regroup and refocus.
No, he believes what most of us do. He is simply doing what is currently accepted practices for dealing with issues like this. You must be aware of the intense criticism we are getting from the liberal media and foreign countries for allowing this to go as long as it did...The so called "green light BS".
Bush took it as far as he could, without totally upsetting the entire apple cart of international relations, and will take heat for some time to come, both domestically and internationally. Condi took a lot of hits as well.
The time will come, when we toss the useless U.N. and things will escalate.
It just is not ripe yet. But it will certainly ripen for some future president who will pull the trigger.
