For twelve days between July 12th and the 23th Condi and GW stand around and cheer Israel on, making it amply clear that they do not give a damn about Lebanon or Lebanese civilians. In fact just the opposite, members of Congress fell over each other (it's an election year, remember!) to approve emergency appropriations to give Israel extra fuel for its jets and more missiles to unleash on Lebanon.
During this time, as the American government collectively looks the other way, over 380 civilians die, over 1500 are wounded, over 750,000 are displaced, and Lebanon's civilian infrastructure is devastated.
On July 24th, Condi parachutes into Beirut and, without a hint of irony, pledges American support for humanitarian relief. A ceasefire that would reduce the need for humanitarian relief was not even on the table. After all, Israel still has some business to finish. If this is a PR stunt to appease Arab sensitivities, then it failed miserably.
Meanwhile death and destruction continues to rain on Lebanon unabated.

you said, i quote "it is (the war) between Hezb-Khara, Iran, Syria and Israel."
So don't ever say again that, i quote again :"If the Lebanese were desperately seeking a ceasefire (...) then they should agree to release the two hostages".
Because in less than a paragraph there is this huge contradiction.
Don't ever talk politics. You're not good at it..
Nevertheless, I thank you Condi for NOTHING!
