MIAMI - President Bush insisted anew Monday that any Mideast cease-fire be accompanied by a wider agreement. "We want there to be a long-lasting peace, one that is sustainable," he said as Israel cut short a halt in bombing and launched new strikes in southern Lebanon.


Bush said he planned to meet later Monday in Washington with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who cut short her diplomatic mission and was returning from the Middle East.

"I'll speak to Condi Rice when she gets back tonight, talk about what she saw, what she heard in the Middle East. And, of course, there'll be a way forward in the Security Council later this week," Bush said, speaking after a meeting with Cuban-American business leaders in a Miami restaurant.

"I assured the people here that we will work toward a plan at the United Nations Security Council that addresses the root causes of the problem, so that whatever comes out of the Security Council will be able to last and that the people of Lebanon and Israel will be able to remain in peace," Bush said. "That's what we want."

1. Well, those dead people are just numbers to him.
This one may come back to kick them in the ass bigtime.

Sometimes think in purely black and white can get you in bigtime trouble. And I don't Bush sees anything in the whole huge gray area that most of live in.

4. "We need to keep killin' them babies for now..."
Says Bush as he imagines how much he enjoys seeing people slaughtered while he stands by and rubs his hands together "oh, goodie".

5. This Is Favorite New TV Show


Keeps all the bad stuff about Iraq and the economy and high gas prices and deteriorating health care and other stuff like that off his TV screen.

Rove knows the only way he wins this fall is to keep fear and war on the front burner. He has to keep the news cycle buzzing with things he can control or that distract from things he can't. It also means trotting out his asshat to hog up airtime spewing verbage that require hours of anal-ists to interpret and spin.

6. He's speaking to his base
He dare not create peace in the ME, because he could then become the anti-christ, see? Relax, Bush. You're the closest we've had to an anti-christ in years, any way you twist this, false peace or just peace. The only thing you can do to avoid this rather unpleasant soup is to resign your office immediately. Thank you in advance.

12. no influence, no collusion with Israel
that's what some folks are still claiming. If that's so, then HOW does the US hold so much sway? Isn't there a coalition of different countries which could emerge and trump us?

14. Yeah, that picture with the restaurant staff
I'll tell you what Bush would have been eating if I'd been his server. Well, no I won't. Running a restaurant is a tough enough business as it is without generating suspicion about the staff.

17. This can't possibly
surprise anyone. This guy is the greatest war monger the world has seen since the moustached one back in the 30's. And is this flaming? I mean I'm not just trying to throw some Hitler firebomb out there because I hate this primitive and violent S.O.B. But really, who, in world history from 1939 to the present, has been a greater practitioner and supporter of aggressive warfare? I'm happy to be wrong; in fact I'd really rather be wrong, but I don't think I am.
