Curious: the temporary cease fire

[CatWoman]

is that a good or a bad thing?

Why?

[JHH]

1. Bad for the US bomb manufactures

[hlthe2b]

2. especially curious given asshole Bolton's blocking of the

UN Security Council today...Sounds to me like Israel wants a time-out to re-assess and that may not be pleasing to Cheney's Neocons in power.

Maybe someone will hear some BBC commentary that will add to the story...I trust virtually nothing being reported out of the US media right now...

3. thank god...

hopefully, the fact that israel bombed a whole bunch of kids today made them wake up a little. hopefully, hezbollah will wake up just the same and this insanity can stop.
but our boob-in-chief and company will figure out some way to muck it up. :puke:

6. Hear hear

Israel has won back some respect from me.

[QuestionAll...]

9. air campaign is over,

now the boots take over.

like Iraq.

I don't think the Lebanese army will sit this one out.

10. I thought it was a suspension of airstrikes, not a full cease fire.

Shows what I know. :shrug: Hard to keep track. :shrug: C'est la guerre. :shrug:

I like the :shrug: emoticon ... it's so French. :evilgrin:

11. calm down, Mon Cher

:)

you are correct; it is more of a suspension than a "cease fire"

:hi:

12. After the carnage they have created it is nothing less than shocking

that a so-called democracy and civilized country would consider a resumption of the massacre.
