That's right, this is President Bush's fault too! Sheesh. Israel needs a new leader , not us.

There is an old saying, "make your bed and lay in it to sleep."

The Jews did it...no one else. They don't dance to the music of Bush or anyone else...only their people.

In this case, the people wanted to appease the enemy as they had done many times in the past and it will certainly come back to haunt them as it has many times in the past.

Blame the Jewish populace, they voted in the timid leaders they have.

They chart their own course and their own destiny.

Write Ehud Olmert, I think President Bush is doing the best he can.

I think you've been partaking of the mational media spin too much.

Grreat Idea, Im on it.

Can't go with you on this one.

I think the agreement was well done and well handled. A lot depends on what happens next and how the inevitable failure of Lebanon/Hezbollah to implement it is handled.

It certainly does not come close to ending the war, but in the scheme of things it was a net positive for our side.

[untrained skeptic]

What do you want Bush to do?

The Israeli government wasn't allowing the IDF to fight to win.

They wouldn't approve the ground operations that were necessary.

The Bush administration ran interference at the UN and vetoed the attempt at a security council resolution to stop Israel from defending itself.

Israel wasn't willing to pursue victory, and their actions had ceased making measurable progress. Israel needed an exit strategy and a possibility of a political solution. This cease-fire is an attempt at providing one, but it's hard to negotiate a solution when Israel appears unwilling to do what it must to force Hezbollah and it's supporters to concede defeat.

Israel is basically putting it's faith in a UN peacekeeping force and the Lebanese government when neither is even willing to call Hezbollah terrorists.

I suspect that they will not get what they need from the second resolution, and they will either effectively concede a horrible defeat, or they will have to go back to fighting, and be willing to not just go after Hezbollah in Lebanon, but go after it's leadership in Syria as well if Syria does not turn them over.

But Bush said that Hizbollah was defeated. It can't be.

I trust President Bush and Secretary of State coni Rice on doing the right thing....oh and John Bolten. I will do no such thing as waste the President's time on a letter that does not need to be sent. Do you think he has no thought of every angle. He is doing the right thing. Stop being a Bush hater. It is not becoming of a FREEPER.
