I lost respect for Condi. Who knows how much cease fire pressure they put on Israel. I don't think Olmert has a strong backbone either.
I don't know why Condi is secretary of state. She's nice and talented, but she's an expert on the Soviets at a time we are at war with Islamofacism. The wrong person for the job.
"I lost respect for Condi. Who knows how much cease fire pressure they put on Israel"
Huh? Most of the world tacitly supported Israel, but they wouldn't deliver the blow of the invasion. Instead they bombed north Lebanon. Very dumb move. I believe the US had to tell Israel to invade at the end so as to allow UN troops to replace them - the UN, which Israel wanted, did not and could not force Hezb. to move out.
I have to agree about Condi's failure IN THIS SITUATION.
Two trips out there and the best she could broker was a cease-fire without the return of the soldiers?
Other than that, I think she's doing a good job.
I wonder how tough it is for the mooslimbs to have to deal with a woman?
