KA-BOOM!

BOOM BUGS BAN–U.N. BOSS DUCKS IN IRAQ You gotta love NY Post headlines… “Maliki hardly flinched and told his security guards, ‘Nothing’s wrong.'”

Hahaha, You Can’t Foola Me, There’s-a No Such Thing As A Durable Ceasefire

(NYTimes) U.S. Shift Kicked Off Frantic Diplomacy at U.N.“A senior administration official said a crucial moment came when Ms. Rice decided to intervene personally in New York. ‘Condi sat in her office Thursday night,’ he said. ‘In a very clear moment, she decided to go to New York and just force this through by going there and sitting there until it got done.’ Well, it was about #$%^ time.

(Guardian) UN says ‘peace tomorrow’ despite Israeli attack “Israel dramatically defied a unanimous United Nations Security Council ceasefire resolution by escalating its ground war yesterday in southern Lebanon, asserting that it needed more time to ‘clean up’ Hizbollah…By the day’s end, 30,000 Israeli soldiers had crossed the border. Despite reports that some troops had reached the Litani, it was also their bloodiest day of fighting, with at least 11 killed and 70 wounded. Israel claimed that it had killed 40 Hizbollah fighters.”

(NYTimes) Israelis in North Are Pessimistic About a Truce Well, no s**t, if their method of prepping for a cease fire is to send 30,000 troops across a border to accomplish as much killing as they can before they’re forced to stop.

Sorry I was late in posting today, it seems that the email for my license renewal got lost somewhere and I had to get my software renewed ASAP

And This Year’s Hank Kissinger “Heartless” Award Goes to Condoleezza Rice!

Birth pangs, Condi? Oh, please, ordinarily we don’t expect birth pangs to kill off the mother. And to anyone who thinks it’s unfair of me to use Condi’s childlessness against her, that was her choice, as well as her own choice of metaphor. This whole situation makes me ill. I feel as if those two kidnapped Israelis have the dubious honor of becoming the excuse for waging war, not just against Lebanon, but against Syria and Iran as well. The bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities is still pencilled in for this year…

I’m too depressed to list any articles–there are just too many to chose from. But oh yeah, Olmert sent his apologies for killing three UN observers.
