The answer I'd like to see.

I'm listening to the sock puppet of Hezbollah acting Foreign Minister of Lebanon, and frankly I'd like to see Condi Rice respond by telling Marines to take him out of the building and beat some sense into him.

But once you start that, how many other foreign ministers would have to be beaten?

In any case, the way I'd like to see the Israeli ambassador respond is this: "We appreciate the Foreign Minister's statement, and would like to assure him that if Hezbollah even thinks of shooting another rocket at Israel, then he will look at this current unpleasantness as a walk in the park compared to what we'll do next time."

Michelle is not the source I'd find most credible here, being one of the leaders of the Eeyore Caucus.

Sure looked cute in that teeshirt yesterday, though.

That's what you get with a "litigator" at the controls during a war. Olmert tried to bluff and failed to use the tools he had to demonstrate (rather than fake)strength.

Without that demonstration, and the will to see a combined arms blitz through to completion, the negotiations were doomed.

Bolton did the best he could with a poorly led client.

I don't know enough about Israeli politics to know whether there is anyone in the wings, but Olmert deserves the boot.

Well Michelle thinks anything short of a mushroom cloud over Tehran is surrender.

Believe it or not Michelle does not have access to all the information that the parties actually involved in the process have and I am tired of certain people on the right adopting the same attitude of unrealistic expectations that people on the left adopt all them time.

From what I have read it seems that there is nothing really stopping Israel from continuing to fight. And if Michelle is waiting for a surrender from the likes of Hizbellah she can give that up. Ain't gonna happen no matter what the UN or Israel comes up with it.
