O-o-o! They were so-o-o Ba-a-d!
The NY Times is reporting that the Bushoviks are going to say something bad about the Israelis.
The Bush administration will inform Congress on Monday that Israel may have violated agreements with the United States when it fired American-supplied cluster munitions into southern Lebanon during its fight with Hezbollah last summer, the State Department said Saturday.So, we have tens of thousands of unexploded bomblets, most of them freshly delivered last summer, lying around Lebanon and they will say Israel MAY HAVE violated the agreements? If it took the Bushoviks this long to notice, that will probably be the worst that the government in Tel Aviv will have to face. Even Cheney doesn't have the stomach to face down AIPAC.
The finding, though preliminary, has prompted a contentious debate within the administration over whether the United States should penalize Israel for its use of cluster munitions against towns and villages where Hezbollah had placed its rocket launchers.
Cluster munitions are anti-personnel weapons that scatter tiny but deadly bomblets over a wide area. The grenadelike munitions, tens of thousands of which have been found in southern Lebanon, have caused 30 deaths and 180 injuries among civilians since the end of the war, according to the United Nations Mine Action Service.
