Our Dear Embattled Leader Cries out for blood!

In his own endearing Texican way, by having his other wife Condi deflect calls for a ceasefire in Lebanon.
A simple cease-fire “would be a false promise” and would “guarantee future violence,” Ms. Rice said as she gave an outline of her trip, which will begin on Sunday and take her to Israel and then to Rome to meet with diplomats of other nations anxious to see an end to the bloodshed
In the meantime, Hezbollah is, like Osama before them, being elevated to superstar staus in the Arab world. The Christian Science Monitor has the details here.

UPDATE: I missed this earlier piece in the Washington Post that puts forth a chilling assessment of the simple minded tools guiding out Middle East policy. Lead by Our Dear Embattled Leader, they seriously believe that indiscriminate bombing will force changes in Lebanon and other countries in our favor. Just like in Iraq.
In the administration's view, the new conflict is not just a crisis to be managed. It is also an opportunity to seriously degrade a big threat in the region, just as Bush believes he is doing in Iraq. Israel's crippling of Hezbollah, officials also hope, would complete the work of building a functioning democracy in Lebanon and send a strong message to the Syrian and Iranian backers of Hezbollah.

"The president believes that unless you address the root causes of the violence that has afflicted the Middle East, you cannot forge a lasting peace," said White House counselor Dan Bartlett. "He mourns the loss of every life. Yet out of this tragic development, he believes a moment of clarity has arrived."
Sounds like ODEL is drinking again. And innocent people will continue to die.
