ALL IS LOST
It is now over. We have failed due to weak leadership and Israel once again caves to the world.
Israel is going to stop the air war for 48 hours, the knees are weak and the back of the government is bending.
Rockets still fall on Israel and we are going to stop using our airpower. If we replace the air power with 30,000 troops and 400 tanks then maybe all is not lost. But a suspension of the air war while rockets still fall shows how weak we are.
The fact that Olmert came to this decision in a meeting with Sec. State Condi Rice show that America has said enough.
This shows how weak America and Israel really are. Iran Syria and Hizballah have played the west for fools.
I now fear for the future of the west and the long term ramifications of Qana on the war on Islamic terror.

No doubt Bush pushed for this. Bush should resign immediately. We have lost the war on terror. Why does Bush do dumb things?
You can't be serious?
Get a frigging grip.
Suspending "air strikes" does not suspend all offensive actions. There are plenty of boots, armor, artillery on the ground. Air reconnaisance can still be carried on.
Do not underestimate Israel.

Thank God - adults are in charge
Tell me you just forgot the sarcasm alert.
Easy there, big fella, settle down now, let's see what tomorrow brings.
Grow UP.
And you know this how???
I do believe that Olmert has been the one that has been questioned these last few weeks...
Bush was on TV TODAY...saying any ceasefire HAD to come with a FIX of the problem..which means NO MORE Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Stay off the pipe... after a while, you'll be able to use what's left of your brain.

No, get rid of Olmert. Israel didn't need to agree to this shit*. I feared all along he would sell out the Jewish people; it's been clear as can be. We can hope at this point, but hope is vain.
Unless they can knock Olmert out and put Netanyahu in charge, then yes, all IS lost. Dear Yoni is right.
I am SO DISGUSTED I cannot express how I feel. This was a cave-in to the mooselim riots, just as happened with the cartoons when our State Dept. said the cartoons were indeed "offensive."
SO WHAT?! Caving in to the crap is NOT a good idea. I've been going along with the "strategy" angle, but ENOUGH already. Israel needs to fight hard, so called "world opinion" be damned.
What about the true story of what happened in Qana? Hizb'Allah set it up, Israel forewarned, Israel fired nearby, the bldg collapsed from the percussion. Period.
NO, NO, NO to any cease-fire for Israel. All the demands are made of Israel, no demands made of the terrorists... None! This is bad, wrong, horrible! What else do you need to know?!!!
Wait and see? Wait and see how the U.S. and Israel cave in? No, thank you!
Israel goes down, the West goes down. By God, if this is the way it's going to be, I will go to Israel and die with the Jewish people.
I'm trying to decide between you being an idiot and a complete idiot.
