Have you been paying attention to anything that Rice, Bush or Tony Snow have been saying? They have said over and over again they will NOT support a ceasefire unless Hezzballah is disarmed. In other words - no ceasefire until Israel has wiped out Hezzballah. I don't see a problem with that policy at all.
I heard the words. I see a cease fire. I hear the Hezbo's claiming that they won and know they will rearm.
Diplomacy for it's own sake that yields nothing. I think (of course without any proof except the outcome itself) that publicly the administration said one thing and behind closed doors pressured Israel. Time will tell.
Thanks for you reply.
