Well, Maybe It'll Work
Israel's Prime Minister is endorsing a U.N. plan - a mere six hours after he broadened the ground offensive. That has got to confuse the guys on the front lines. "Hey sir, do we go? Stay? Go? Stay?" Cha Cha Cha
Of course the cabinet has to approve the thing in their weekly meeting on Sunday. That meeting ought to be loud and interesting. Our local paper's version of the Associated Press story says " Olmert also feared that accepting a deal that does not rein in the guerrillas could lead to another war down the road and hurt him politically."
There's the key phrase right there: could hurt him politically.
Uh-huh over 800 people dead, Lebanon's infrastructure in tatters, most of the world pissed off at your country and you Mr Prime Minister are most concerned about being hurt politically. Yeah that career is WAY more important than lives. After all, they aren't Israeli lives are they? Well for the most part.
No biggie, they'll shoot anything that moves even convoys of refugees, pulverize Christian towns and not allow humanitarian aid in... and yet they still can't manage to stop the rockets from hitting Israel - which is causing him some political wounding apparently.
There has pretty much always been conflict in the Middle East, the various ethnic groups have never gotten along to speak of now they just have bigger more powerful weapons to throw at each other.
But hey, let's not hurt ourselves politically okay?
