WH is urging restraint, but still not calling for a cease fire, unless conditions are reached that it is a sustainable cease fire. In other words, no change of position from the White House. Although I do wish that when they made these statements, they would also chastise the Hizzies to stop using civilian areas for their missile launch sites. I have been watching CNN, so I haven't heard if the video that Isreal claims they have on the rocket launcher next to this building has been released. However, all the reporters did say that the Hizzies are known for using civilians as shields and they have been reporting that.
The Whitehouse has said that they blame Hezbollah for the entire thing. That is about as good of an endorsement as you can get. Bush knows what he is doing. He's publicly urging restraint and care to avoid civie casualties, not only to keep the Arab countries from total meltdown, but also because he does not want to see civiliian deaths if it can be avoided.
there is a reason Lebanon and Iran and Syria and Hezbollah reject what Condi is offering, because it means the end of a hezbollah militia in Lebanon.
