Bush's Shrinking Safety Zone

[Hippikos]

Nasrallah has stated that he was completely surprised by the reaction of Israel to the kidnapping of the 2 soldiers. In fact if he knew he would have never done it. So the conspiracy of Iran being behind the attack is utter bull and the usual spin neocons want to give it on their road to Tehran.

Negotiation through Italy is now taken place for the exchange of the 2 kidnapped Israeli soldiers and Lebanese prisoners. Back to basics again.

Result of Olmerts and Peretz ridiculous, disproportional and irressponsible pre-emptive war?

1) The orginial trade of prisoners will take place aftr all (also in Gaza).
2) Lebanon is bombed back to stone age
3) More than 1000 Lebanese and 47 Israeli civilians die
4) Nasrallah is da man in the ME now and winning the hearts of the Lebanese
5) The Cedar revolution is in shedders
6) Olmert and Peretz may well fear for their position
7) Again, we see here another failure of a neocon pre-emptive war
