Remember, a lot of Freepers think that Saddam's WMD went to Lebanon to Hezbullah.

Also Syria is one the world's largest producers of chemical weapons.

Let's drop Hissy Matthews behind enemy lines and he can show us how to achieve peace by following Clinton's tired old 60's rhetorical "get people together to work things out"...

They talk over each other at points, so brackets[] are what I think they said or unintellible areas. And Bush looked starved And it's interesting to see one of the G8 seeming to eavesdrop, pretending to be on the phone. At least WE are publicly doing it! ;-)

GB: What about Kofi Annan? I don't like the sequence of it. His attitude is basically ceasefire and everything else happens, but...you know what I'm saying?
TB: Yeah, no, I think,the thing that is really difficult is, we can't stop this unless you get this international presence agreed. Now I think...
GB: Yeah
TB: I think what you guys [have been talking about these three days about is the same to me, you have to be careful, having dealt with ["C.E.?] more than once,um, in the last 9 days,] but you need that done quickly,
GB: (interrupts) Yeah, she's going
TB: [She's got some spine](he may be speaking of "CE?")GB: I think Condi's going to go pretty soon
TB: Right,well that's all that matters.
GB: She's going
TB: It takes some time to get that together...
GB: Yeah,it's a process I agree
TB: At least it gives people
GB: (interupts) I told her your offer too
TB: Well, it's only if it's, I mean you know, or it's if, she's gonna, or if she needs the ground prepared as it were, obviously if she goes out she's got to succeed as it were, where I can't just go out and
GB: (interupts)See, the irony of this is, they need to get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this sh__, and it's over
TB; Whose, (and he pauses for effect) Syria?
GB: Why?
TB: Because I think this is all part of the same thing
GB: Yeah
TB: Look, what does he think? He thinks if Lebananon turns out fine, if he gets a solution in Israel and Palestine, Iraq goes in the right way, he's
[together:]
GB: He's through
TB: He's [hay?]
GB: Yeah.
TB: That's what this whole thing's about. It's the same with Iran.
GB : I feel like telling Kofi to call,get on the phone with Assad and make something happen, in that language
TB: Yeah
GB: I'm not blaming the Israeli government. We're not blaming the Lebanese government.

Tony reaches over and turns off the mic.

I have been lurking on here this thread for 4 days and then Nothing.
