I read a few days ago that France was interested in participating. It indicated to me that a lot was happening behind the scenes. I am sure that Israel has been well briefed by us and we have mutually agreed to a plan of action.
I just watched the Israeli Tourism Minister,Issac Herzog, who also sits on the Israeli Defense Committee, explain to CNN's woof, woof why Israel had to bomb a residential area.
Seems they had incontrovertible intel that many rockets hitting Israeli cities were being shot from the area so they advised the locals to get lost and waited an appropriate time and then let their own response fly into lebanon.
Of course everyone(all msm's DBM's) are pissed at the Israeli's for defending themselves but what else would you expect. Anyway Herzog did a stellar job of explaining the Israeli side to woof.
I am sure he(woof,woof) has forgotten everything by now but then that's CNN isn't it.
Looks like the "peace plan" is getting closer,by the Way Condi has handled things masterfully IMHO. The big debate at this point will be whether Israel gets another 5 or 10 days to kill off the Hezzie rocketeers.
Stay tuned to FR.
