FYI

Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Karen Hughes has been tasked by President Bush with leading efforts to promote America's values and confront ideological support for terrorism around the world. She oversees three bureaus at the Department of State: Educational and Cultural Affairs, Public Affairs, and International Information Programs, and participates in foreign policy development at the State Department.

Amb. Dan Gillerman on Dayside now.

[tsmith130]

Oh pooh...it's over.

[wildcatf4f3]

the accomplishment will be that the administration can say they tried diplomacy--it didn't work...war is neccesary...fine by me.

[wildcatf4f3]

I thought that's why they wasted all that time at the UN before Iraq. Everyone just ignored it anyway and accused Bush of being "unilateral".

Rush on a roll I was listening to Rush today and he is right on the ball with perfect moral clarity that unfortunately the Israelis themselves are lacking. He declared that this is not day 13 of some skirmish. This is an ongoing war that commenced in 1948 with the establishment of the State. He also said, "Why doesn't Hizbollah shoot their rockets at IDF tanks? Because they don't get 72 virgins for killing tanks they get them for killing Jewish civilians. They want to kill Jews, its that simple". He responded to Kerry's tirade about Democrats also being pro Israel by showing how a fellow Democrat has undermined Israel just two days after Kerry made his comments. Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Ct) said on Face the Nation yesterday that Israel went "too far in responding to Hizbollah". I guess that confirms where the liberal stand.

[BurbankKarl]

Condi Rice has arrived in Tel Aviv

[BurbankKarl]

CNN has a video titled ROCKETS RAIN DOWN that shows a peace activists home that was destroyed by a Hezzie rocket...along with three of his neighbors.

[Miss Marple]

Thanks. That is what I remembered.

[gth833s]

I still don't understand how people can think that the Israeli's are the bad guys in this situation. Obviously they do not want to hurt the civilian population of Lebanon while the Hizzbollah group blatantly wants to kill civilians, as shown by that little fact...

Blah i would understand how other people think.

[jhp]

oh the irony

[SE Mom]

Thanks' for the update...and for these daily threads.

Wesley Clark now on FNC. God what a fool is the retired general. "You can't just declare WW III and march in with 10 million men and occupy the ME"... AS IF anyone had suggested such a thing.

It is actually a fascinating discussion- the audience is smacking Clark DOWN.

[Miss Marple]

Wesley Clark on Dayside. He is blathering about diplomacy but the audience as well as Juliette aren't buying it. HA!

[jhp]

Hopefully to tell Olmert to grow a pair and do what he's got to do
