Bush/Cheney knew of Israel's plan to bomb Lebanon....

[Virginia Dare]

is anyone surprised?

In an article for the New Yorker, renowned investigative journalist Seymour Hersh states that the Bush administration was closely involved in last month's invasion of Lebanon by Israel, RAW STORY has learned.

Hersh describes the administration's initial reaction to the invasion as "strangely passive," with George W. Bush saying on July 16, "It’s a moment of clarification" and Condoleezza Rice stating two days later that a ceasefire should wait until "the conditions are conducive."

Hersh's intelligence and diplomatic sources tell him that the reason for this hands-off reaction was that George Bush and Dick Cheney already knew about Israeli plans for a bombing campaign against Hezbollah's underground missile complexes and were convinced that it could both increase Israel's security and serve as a prelude to a American pre-emptive attack on Iran's nuclear installations.

1. It was sooo obvious

Could see right through Condi all along on this. They were draggin their feet pushing for bigger bombs. Bush admin is pissed now, patiently waiting for an opportunity to say "they violated the ceasefire, fire up the war again, QUICKLY!"
Then out comes the big ones,,,
