- Hirsh: How Bush Makes Enemies
  Posted by Billbar from MSNBC
  Hamas and Hizbullah should not be confused with Al Qaeda. Bush's insistence on doing so shows his failure to understand his foes.

- Hezbollah was using UN post as 'shield'
  Posted by Billbar from Canada
  The words of a Canadian United Nations observer written just days before he was killed in an Israeli bombing of a UN post in Lebanon are evidence Hezbollah was using the post as a "shield" to fire rockets into Israel, says a former UN commander in Bosnia. Those words, written in an e-mail dated just nine days ago, offer a possible explanation as to why the post -- which according to UN officials was clearly marked and known to Israeli forces -- was hit by Israel on Tuesday night, said retired Maj.-Gen. Lewis MacKenzie yesterday.

- Scheer: Labor Pains of a Stillborn Foreign Policy
  Posted by Billbar from The Nation
  The Bush foreign policy, from coddling Pakistan's nuclear bomb-making to cheerleading Israel's attacks on the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, is in a free fall of such alarming consequence that it may be difficult to grasp.

- Tide of Arab Opinion Turns to Support for Hezbollah
  Posted by Jon from New York Times
  Now, with hundreds of Lebanese dead and Hezbollah holding out against the vaunted Israeli military for 15 days, the tide of public opinion across the Arab world is surging behind the organization, transforming the Shiite group’s leader, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, into a folk hero and forcing a change in official statements.

- Could U.S. Troops End Up in Lebanon?
  Posted by Billbar from Harpers
  There's much discussion of putting a multinational, NATO-led force in southern Lebanon as part of a ceasefire agreement in the Israel–Lebanon conflict, but Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, according to a story in the Washington Post, has said that she does “not think that it is anticipated that U.S. ground forces . . . are expected for that force.” However, a well-connected former CIA officer has told me that the Bush Administration is in fact considering exactly such a deployment.

- Harper's: Former official says Bush mulling sending American troops to Lebanon
  Posted by Jeff from Rawstory
  The uniformed military, however, is ardently opposed to sending American soldiers to the region, according to my source. “They are saying 'What the ****?'” he told me. “Most of our combat-ready divisions are in Iraq or Afghanistan, or on their way, or coming back. The generals don't like it because we're already way overstretched.”

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.
