- Seymour Hersh: U.S. involved in Israeli plans to invade Lebanon
  Posted by Billbar from Rawstory
  Video of Hersh on CNN. Hersh's intelligence and diplomatic sources tell him that the reason for this hands-off reaction was that George Bush and Dick Cheney already knew about Israeli plans for a bombing campaign against Hezbollah's underground missile complexes and were convinced that it could both increase Israel's security and serve as a prelude to a American pre-emptive attack on Iran's nuclear installations.

- Hersch: WATCHING LEBANON
  Posted by Billbar from New Yorker
  The Bush Administration, however, was closely involved in the planning of Israel’s retaliatory attacks. President Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney were convinced, current and former intelligence and diplomatic officials told me, that a successful Israeli Air Force bombing campaign against Hezbollah’s heavily fortified underground-missile and command-and-control complexes in Lebanon could ease Israel’s security concerns and also serve as a prelude to a potential American pre�mptive attack to destroy Iran’s nuclear installations, some of which are also buried deep underground.

- AIPAC Points to Legion of Doom in Bekaa Valley
  Posted by Billbar from Harpers
  With nearly one thousand people killed in Lebanon, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has outdone itself—spinning press releases with a mastery of the form that could bring a tear to the eye of even the most hardened and cynical flack. Despite large-scale destruction in Beirut and beyond, AIPAC cheerily noted that “an overwhelming majority of the city remains untouched” and lauded Israel for dropping “leaflets and taking other measures to urge civilians to leave the area.”

- Security Council OKs Mideast peace deal
  Posted by Billbar from Yahoo News!
  The resolution, adopted unanimously, authorizes 15,000 U.N. peacekeepers to help Lebanese troops take control of south Lebanon as Israeli forces that have occupied the area withdraw. The Security Council resolution leaves out several key demands from both Israel and Lebanon in efforts to come up with a workable arrangement.

France pledges 1,600 more troops for Lebanon
Chirac was obviously challenged by Italy's offer to command the troops. Whatever works!

No Hezbollah at Qana. All those is south Lebanon are terrorists. Israel has lost any moral authority it had in this battle.
