all i know is i saw part of George Bush's speech live from the State Dept this afternoon. and that stoopid f*ckin' idiot actually said that Hezbollah was defeated....HAHAHAAH
yeah right...go back to your ranch you hick ass kracker.
right after his speech ended CNN presented new poll numbers on bush's approval rating...
herzebollah defeated? I thought the US totally had a hands-off stance towards this issue?
yeah right....if you believe that sh*t i got some of imelda marcos' shoes to sell you! puhlease.....israel had, at the very least, tacit approval from the US if not a total green light.....not you, girl, but ppl here gotta wake the hell up.....America was proving millions of pounds of aviation fuel, precision-guided munitions, and cluster bombs to Israel during this entire month long offensive against Lebanon....that isn't very hands off...
thing is the American media doesn't really cover these stories.
...or probably.. he ate some more gyoza and the cholesterol just shot up to his brain.
hahha...that dumb beeyotch prolly did another line of coke before the speech...they don't call it the WHITE HOUSE for nuthin'~

Israel should honor UN ceasefire, stop importing US cluster bombs for war
Detained Anakpawis Representative and migrant rights advocate Crispin Beltran welcomed news of a United Nations (UN)-brokered ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel, saying that Israel should immediately put an end to the massive carnage of civilians by upholding Lebanese sovereignty and cancel its requests for US artillery.
gIsrael should honor the UN ceasefire as it is expected to take effect tomorrow. Israel should immediately pull-out its troops from Southern Lebanon, and uphold the sovereignty of the Lebanese people. Israeli forces should immediately put an end to their air strikes that are indiscriminately killing Lebanese civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure,h Beltran said.
Beltran also said that the US government should immediately desist from providing any munitions support to Israeli forces.
gThe US should, once and for all, stop its selling, delivery, and importation of cluster bombs and short-range anti-personnel rockets to Israel. The Bush administration should immediately cancel all pending and planned deliveries of ammunition to the Israeli government in order to prove its sincerity in keeping peace in the region,h Beltran said, referring to Israelifs pending requests for M-26 artillery rockets from the US.
Beltran also urged the Philippine government to immediately repatriate all Filipino OFWs from Lebanon as the situation remains far from stabilizing.
gThe Philippine government should continue finding means to evacuate and repatriate all Filipinos from Lebanon, and ensure that the OFWs find sufficient means of employment upn arrival in the country. As the repatriation efforts in Lebanon and Iraq have sadly proved, the overwhelming lack of decent jobs and low wages in the Philippines is still the Number One factor why our OFWs continue to evade evacuation and repatriation efforts,h Beltran said.
Washingtonfs role goes beyond making sure that any ceasefire will come into force only after Israelfs aims have been achieved — a July 22 New York Times article reported that the Bush administration ''is rushing a delivery of precision-guided bombs to Israel, which requested the expedited shipment last week after beginning its air campaign against Hezbollah targets in Lebanonfe. Reuters reported on July 19 that the Pentagon had ''notified Congress on Friday that it planned to sell Israel JP-8 aviation fuel valued at up to [US]$210 million to help its aircraft 'keep peace and security in the regionffe.
From 2001 to 2005, US-manufactured weapons worth more than $6.3 billion were sold to Israel. US military aid for Israel from 2001 to 2007 is expected to total more than $19.5 billion according to Foreign Policy in Focus, which says US aid accounts for over 20% of Israelfs military budget.
Resistance
Although Israel has far from unleashed all of its military might against Lebanon, the firepower that it has levelled at the country has been formidable. But despite the Israeli onslaught, it is yet to destroy Hezbollahfs resistance.
The New York Times reported on July 26 that gIsraelfs initial talk of breaking Hezbollahfs back has slowly given way to more limited goals as Israeli ground troops have bogged down just a few miles into the country. The latest talk is of creating a buffer zone about 1.2 miles wide, which Israel said it could police from its side of the border.h
A July 25 article filed from Beirut for the McClatchy Newspapers wire service reported that in the aftermath of fierce bombing raids, gHezbollah guards armed with shiny machine guns reappeared at their postsh, policing the area and preventing looting. The report said that the groupfs gability to regroup so quickly in a place where acrid smoke is still rising from fresh targets illustrates the futility of Israelfs initial aim of dismantling the militant network ... Intensive air raids diminish Hezbollahfs military capabilities, but they also bolster the groupfs popularity among Lebanese who consider the group their protector.h
An analysis by Amos Harel in Haaretz asked gHas the army failed?h Harel wrote: gThe war, they [the Israeli military and government] say, is going well, Israel has chalked up several successes and has the upper hand. But one thinks that if Israelis had been asked on July 12 whether it was possible that Hezbollah would shell the North for two weeks without the IDFfs being able to stop it, most of them would have replied in the negative ... Only a massive blow to Hezbollah can lessen its stranglehold over the Lebanese government, something which has not yet been achieved.h
Skirmishes such as the successful Hezbollah operation that captured the Israeli soldiers on July 12, noted a July 26 Wall Street Journal report, ghave fed tension between Israelfs top military officials — who believe it isnft possible to wipe out Hezbollah without a sizable increase in troops on the ground — and an Israeli government fearful of rising casualties and reluctant to declare a mass call-up of reservists that could add to the conflictfs huge strain on the economy.
gIn both camps there is a fear of being sucked into protracted combat that would evoke painful memories of the previous occupation of Lebanon from 1982 to 2000. Some military analysts say Bint Jbeil is typical of what the Israeli military would face on a far bigger scale if it extends the war to Hezbollahfs other strongholds.h
Bint Jbeil, a Lebanese town near the southern border, has been the site of a fierce battle between the IDF and Hezbollah guerrillas after Israeli soldiers began to assault the town on July 24. An Israeli soldier described the ensuing battle as ghell on Earthh to Haaretz. The paper reported that genemy forces had organized a well-planned ambush. Soldiers faced gunfire from any and all directions.h At least eight Israeli soldiers died, and more than 20 were wounded.
Associated Press reported on July 27, gSo far, Israeli troops have gone house to house taking positions on the outskirts of the town, without going far inside Bint Jbailh. According to AP, gHezbollah fighters are heavily outnumbered by Israeli troops ... But they use classic guerrilla tactics, choosing when to strike in the hilly territory they know well. They are dug in with extensive tunnel networks and stockpiles of rockets and other weapons.h
A July 28 AP article reported that the Lebanese cabinet, including its two Hezbollah members, had approved a call for an immediate ceasefire that ''includes strengthening an international force in south Lebanon and disarming the [Hezbollah] guerrillasfe. The plan ''starts out with an immediate cease-firefe, which would be followed by the release of prisoners by both sides and an Israeli withdrawal; the placing of the Sheeba Farms (the area of Lebanon still occupied by Israel after its 2000 withdrawal) under UN control until the there is a ''final demarcation of the borderfe; the provision of maps to minefields laid during the Israeli occupation; and the deployment of the Lebanese army to the countryfs south.
