It is downright silly to blame Bush for this; no American president has EVER been more supportive of Israel in time of need. The problem was on the Israeli side in Olmert's indecisiveness. If Olmer wasn't prepared to WIN this war, there wasn't much point in continuing a half-hearted slaughter of the Lebanese. Better to call a halt now so that after the NEXT provocation, and there will BE one of course, the NEW Israeli prime minister can start off with a new justification and presumably equal US support if he'll just KILL THEM!
Let's just hope the anti-semite Hitlary isn't the POTUS in the next crisis.
Then you explain why Rice and Bolton was pushing for this resolution with the total corrupt UN. Did you forget that Rice and Bolton carries out the will of the Administration. And who is the Administration? Lets call a spade a spade. Bush has one hell of a way to show support. I've heard enough of this "Bush must have some kind of a plan" crap long enough. I have been Republican for over 50 years and getting tired of this lame crap. The best plan is to say what you really think, the hell with politics
The scuttle in the beltway is that this is the Defense Minister's and Olmerts decision. Benni needs to step up and negotiate new emergency elections.
