Here's the trailer: Read below the fold...

When will the Israeli invasion of Lebanon end?
"This week is entirely possible. Certainly we are talking about days not weeks," said Condi to Ray "Cuddly Bear" Suarez of PBS Newshour today.
But at the same time Shimon Peres tells reporters "In my judgment, it is not far away. You can count it in a matter of weeks, not months."
Via Haaretz.
No respect for the Almighty US of A's emissary. Does Shimon know that Condi isn't backed by the Beltway Neocons that are really running things? Read below the fold...

Just asking.
And doesn't that question remind you of another question?
Like, "Why does it make sense to attack Al Qaeda by destroying Iraq?"
I really to have to change the "Middle East" tag to "Middle East Clusterfuck."
It's like the old saying: "History repeats itself. The first time as tragedy, the second time as tragedy."

Disaters Of War
Condi Rice was everywhere this morning. And everwhere that Condi went, her devotion to George Bush was never far behind.
Speaking from the G-8 conference, Condi was robotic, repetitious, unspontaneous, and unconvincing, perhaps because her discussion and explanations were studded with talking points.
