Bush, Cheney in deep funk after Israel war performance



http://www.insightmag.com/Media/MediaManager/Funk.htm

President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have been extremely disappointed by Israel's failure to defeat Hezbollah.

Government sources said the Israeli failure has led to deep pessimism within the National Security Council and Pentagon regarding U.S. goals in the Middle East, particularly the effort to stop Iran's advance in Iraq and toward nuclear weapons. The sources said the Israeli experience has been used by the Pentagon to explain the U.S. difficulty in halting the deterioration of order in Iraq.

"There's a lot of doom and gloom in the White House over the U.S. future in the Middle East," a source said. "Everybody feels there's been a significant strategic shift in favor of the bad guys."

Mr. Bush and his advisers have sought to clarify Israel's standoff with Hezbollah in the 33-day war in Lebanon. Over the last week, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who has avoided meeting Israeli leaders, held an unannounced session with visiting Israeli Vice Premier Shimon Peres.

5. Your comment makes me think that they somehow fomented the
Israel/Hezbollah conflict to distract the world from their own dismal performances. I would not be at all surprised to hear that some covert skulduggery has been going on while the world has been watching Israel.

6. Sy Hersch has already reported that they DID
encourage this invasion, and planned it months before the excuse for the invasion.

7. That's funny....
Just nine days ago, the Idiot son said this:

"Hezbollah attacked Israel, Hezbollah started the crisis, and Hezbollah suffered a defeat in this crisis. The reason why is, this is because there's going to be a new power in the south of Lebanon, and that's going to be a Lebanese force with a robust international force to help them seize control of the country."

Bush says Israel defeated Hezbollah
