I think we're going to see signs of harsh words between Bush and Condi.
I think we're going to see continuing ground ops.
I think the first sneeze out of Hezbollah opens the floodgates from above.
I think the IAF is using the stand down to great advantage, as suggested by another poster.
I think this standdown take the Muslim street out of play, globally, momentum-wise, anyway.
I don't know anything though, just what I hear and read.
We'll know more tomorrow.
Once again this pontificating of mine presumes Hizbullah C&C is still intact enough to control its rocket crews
This is the end of the line for Hizbullah (and to some degree Syria and Iran) It stops now if it what they want, and i believe enough of Hizbullah is left to fight another day. They would be stupid not to stop b/c 1) they can claim a draw, which in Arabic = victory and 2) Hizbullah is left to fight another day. If they want to keep going i don't think this thing stays within the bounds of Israel and Lebanon. We'll find out in a few hours . . .
Well...it certainly should make the protests at the UN's calm down...if there is no "warfare" for a day or so..
We are all assuming that the lull will give the Hezzies time to rearm...but it should help the Israels rearm also.
I did post that thought - and it only makes total sense. A brilliant move, imo. Give the IDF a breather - and let the Hesbos scrounge for food and water and eletricty.

The media is making it seem as Sec of State Rice had a quasi breakdown upon learning of the Qana news.
" Clearly shaken " is how Andrea Mitchell put it.
I recall another outlet describing her as " quivering with rage."
Either Dr. Rice is not up to the job ( which I hope not ) or the media is trying to make her seem weak and wimpy-fearful of a challenge to Hillary .
