I hope you're right and this is just part of the "chess game" as they say. After Bush's recent speech to the U.N. telling them that their policies have failed and that their current behavior is unacceptable, I don't think Bush would suddenly become the U.N.'s best buddy and smack Israel. Israel has already achieved its goal and this latest action is designed to keep the enemy off-balance.

Now ther's an interesting take.

On which?

[steveegg]

Your take on the US-sponsored resolution "against" Israel. Personally, the building Arafat's in would have been the first to be remodeled.

LOL! I'm sure they were tempted :)

I don't know how they've had the self-discipline not to take him out a long time ago.

"The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not going to be resolved by military might alone, or by violent means of any kind," Annan told the council.

This has to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard spoken, and they keep saying this over and over. Give Israel free rein get the heck out of the way, and they can have this issue settled in less than a week, by violent means.

Kahk a Moon or Pish a Moon?

So that is what the architecture is all about! Thanks! ROFLOL!

Killing the POS makes him a martyr. Making Arafatty irrelevant is much much more damaging to the Egyptian wanna be king.

Now that Arafat is trapped in his outhouse, Please stop destroying his buildings! We do not want to see his ugly A$$ hanging in the breeze...

Arutz Sheva is reporting ops in Gaza...9 killed some 20 plus wounded Gazan's as IDF's Givati Brigade and 20 tanks roll in to obliterate machine shops,weapons cache's.
Israel must have got the hornets nest by the P.A.'s response...anyway..it appears Sharon is determined to break these savages.
Among the dead is the AL Aqsa brigrade commander for the region...no IDF injuries reported.
Whoo Hoo!!

[Brytani]

Why else did we wait 4 days before putting the resolution through?

[SEGUET]

"Israel basically said fine, knowing that the US is trying to mollify the Arabs as the plans for the Iraq attack continue."

Da Buush is sure keeping the new "Resolution Writing Department" busy - understand they have over 437 people working out of (Lon) Cheney's work station.

Who says Da Buush doen't want bigger government - submitting Draft resolutions on behalf of Israel -s absolutely crazy - the man's OC

[OldFriend]

So I guess we are happy now......we asked for a resolution that included condemnation of terror acts against Israel and the UN conveniently left that little part out and only condemned Israel.
