Some kind of vague appeal to the Hezbullies not to shoot more Katyushas at Israel while Israel bombs yet more Hezbully facilities.

Iran's sending people to fight in Lebanon, but we blink. Does this make Israel feel safe? Clearly the WH knew about Iranians fighting with Hezbollah...talk about stupid. Israel should have told the WH to stuff it.

This makes no sense.

I would think that the WH wants Lebanon to dominate the news cycle as cover while they take care of business in Baghdad.


BUMP

I guess we are being blackmailed here in the states with liquid which might already be here!

We Must have been told a few days ago to get Israel to hault its activities!
Is this liquid the WMD which the liberals never said existed?

Do any of you remember hearing that conversation a few years back?

I heard Rush one day a few years back describe WMD small enough to be carry in one's pocket

We've known for 20 years that there are some biolocial/chemical warfare agents where a few drops would wipe out quite a few people, so this is not new.

Israel screws around and fails to eliminate the hezzies will get Israelis killed. And loads of them.
What, is it the U.S. State Dept that objects to escalation?

The Israeli people should dust off the President's speech to congress shortly after 9/11, and send him a copy. We have no business directing Israel on how they should proceed.

I'm tired of this talking out of both sides of our collective faces. Either Israel is a sovereign country who, has the right to defend itself or it's a puppet to world opinion.

Okay, sounds like interference to me. So much for the free hand. Micro-managing someone else's messy war of self-defense...yet again.

The Israelis should just ignore Washington and let the Israelis prosecute the war.

Bush is slowly becoming as destructive to our national security as Clinton.
