You betcha, I'm ready. I don't want my grandchildren shot in the back of their heads by some insane, maniac Muslim. The POTUS is elected to protect America and Americans. GW Bush has fought a PC war in Iraq and let the scum and vermin Democrats manipulate him. He had a golden opportunity to destroy both Syria and Iran and he blew it. You think his poll numbers are low now. Give it a few days. GW has jumped the shark!!! If he hasn't then show me!!!
That would be impossible given your anatomical blinders.
IDF offensive continues despite UN vote

It is hard to underestimate the madness contained in this one sentence. At what point did a free nation's right to self-defense become contingent on the approval of the international community?

I'm beginning to think that Olmert begged us to push this through so he could stop those uncivilized warmongers in his cabinet. Olmert cannot see this was it truly is, only in the can't we all get along mentality of the Left.
(do I really need to add that I am stating what I believe is his point of view?)
I tend to agree. If we go back to the beginning of all of this Israel just wanted to push back Hezbollah out of range and to weaken them so an international force with some muscle could come in and disarm them. Then it became clear that no international force could do the job and Isreal had no choice but to do it. But actually that was not what Israel wanted to do. Then it became clear that it was really too late for Israel and that they would take very high casualties. So Olmert went for the resolution that we have now. Is that how you see it more or less?
They followed the agreements to some degree until this capturing of Israeli soldiers. It was a big Hezbollah's miscalculation as Israel HAD to react strongly in order to keep the face. But I think that Sharon would calibrate the response more deftly.
Hezbollah is a semi-government as it represents the largest Lebanese community.
Olmert could not do more without excessive losses. Never underestimate the enemy.

Now wait go back one month. Israel never said they wanted to go into Syria. NEVER. In fact they said they did NOT want to go into Syria. That's what the talking heads in America wanted them to do. What Israel wanted was a force with muscle and a resoultion with provisnons to keep Syria from giving arms to Hez.
Who are we and Bush to tell Israel how to run their war?
More Catholic than the Pope? Israeli Jews are less hawkish.
Sad just sad.
There are no other words.
This whole affair has been like slow motion train crash.
Fixed it.
Condi Rice works for the President. I just saw the video of her raising her hand to vote yes on the resolution.
Great sadness, and it will come to no good, and lots of bad things will flow from it. Even if it is never implemented.
