As I said last night, I believe there's a lot more going on behind the scenes than we know. Something's cooking with Washington and the other Arab states...

From today's Gulf News (Dubai):

'Some Arab states supporting Israel'

Doha: Qatar's foreign minister accused some Arab states of supporting the Israeli offensive on Lebanon to dismantle Hezbollah.

However, speaking to Al Jazeera television, Shaikh Hamad Bin Jassem Bin Jabr Al Thani declined to name any country.

"I am surprised at the Arab agreement ... for Israel to end this issue and end the presence of Hezbollah in this region. There was more or less agreement from some Arab states that Israel completes its mission before a ceasefire," he said.

"I think they were thinking of the Lebanon's general interest but forgot the Arab interest and their citizens. Some have changed their views, which is good."

"This doesn't mean that we agree with all what took place from Hezbollah, or Hamas or others ... but it would be strange to allow the completion of this mission," he said.

Hi stranger!!!

I have pinged you a couple of times since this war started...I am so glad you could make it.

Thanks for the information.

What is the word on the street in Dubai??
