There something to be said for Hezbollah standing down, militarily they are in a world of hurt.

But they just now got the whole Islamic world wound up over them, so strong and brave, standing up to the Satan twins the way they have...

...and now they're just going to walk away with Israel massacre-ing four or five hundred disabled children? Or was it five thousand, I get so confused?

The Muslims are HOT.

Let that kind of energy build up with no way to dissipate it and they can turn on you, very quickly.

Remember how they took it when Hero Saddam was pulled out of a rat-hole?

I don't pretend to know how Muslim minds work, but I know potential energy when I see it, and that kind of energy will find an outlet if it can, so at the very least, Hezbollah has some conflicting circumstances to deal with.

The thing to remember about Lebanon journalism is the all the outlets are owned by political parties or political interests. All of them.

Just keep in mind: If Hezbullah survives, they win.

let's not sugar coat this - this one sided ceasefire has taken place in the only effective method of attack so far - the IAF. and it will give the media 48 hours to run endless video of the incident, its like Rodney King in Qana. and you know as the clock runs out, the media and the world community will be screaming for an extension.

Well, at least there are a few of us who see the reality, and say it.

Drudge is now reporting on XM 165 and WABC radio see his page to hear if you are interested. He is supportive of Israel.

The purpose of the 48 hours is to investigate the incident. When the investigation is over, the IDF will publish the fact that Hezbullah is in the wrong and hostilities will recommense. It could be in less than 48 hours.

I don't put much stock in what the media says.

I do pay attention to direct quotes, and per those quotes, Condi said "It's time for a ceasefire" when Bush was still working to keep just such wording out of the UN Resolution.

There's basic conflict there, and Bush isn't a guy who lets his employees off easy for stepping off the reservation.

The relationship with Dr. Rice is deep and goes way back, so I do not think there will be public hostility or any humiliation what-so-ever, but I also don't think Bush will change policy just to get her off the hook.

If you watch for it, you will see it when it comes.

AND, Hezbollah hasn't agreed to anything...so, I am just waiting for them to try and take advantage of the situation.

All it is going to take is one Hezzie full of bravado to fire a missle into Northern Israel, I think Israel knows it will happen so it can say to the world that they tried a cease fire and it failed. The reprisal from Israel could be devestating after that.

She was a very young girl too, so sad that this brainwashing causes so much hate and radicalism.

CNN saying Lebanon is now united, as if its a good thing to unite behind terrorists.

Has the world gone insane???????????????????
