And the military really didn't like hearing about this from the media. "Is there a bombing pause?" "...What bombing pause?" "The one the State Department announced that Rice got from Olmert." "...Could you repeat that?" <- Like that.
Unsurprisingly the net effect is actually to buy Israel more time to "let the IDF win". Let's see if it can.
