| Israel to Halt War in Lebanon on Monday |
| 2006-08-12 |
| WTF?!?! Money quote : BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) -- Israel will halt its war in Lebanon at 7 a.m. Monday (midnight EDT Sunday night), a senior Israeli government official said Saturday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment publicly on the sensitive matter. Israel's Cabinet was to endorse the U.N. cease-fire resolution later Sunday. Rest of article, by the same ZEINA KARAM Associated Press Writer, is the same spin as the one posted below. |

| #14 Is Olmert crazy like a fox? Nobody in their right mind would agree to a cease fire with the Hezzies. Maybe he's counting on them violating it and giving him the pretext to destroy them. One can only hope. |

| #13 WTF??? I guess this is another pause awaiting the big push on the 22nd. You know if the UN is involved it will be a Goat F%&k rodeo. I pray that Israel will ignore the UN and strike hard and deep. |

| #12 FOX reported this AM that Nasrey has grudgingly accepted the proposed ceasefire by the USA-France - however, Syrian Hezbollah vs Iranian Hizbollah vs Islamic Jihad, etal. orgs the Great Satan = SNAFU/FUBAR remains in the spelling. |

| #10 I dont understand... Aren't we suppose to be supporting countries who are willing to fight against terrorists ? So why the need to call a ceasefire ? Does this mean that from now on when things arent going so well for the murdering , mutalating terrorists , other countries will step into try to prevent civilized nations from protecting their civilians from being MURDERERD by calling for a ceasefire. Israel should be allowed to conduct military operations for as long as they require and deem nescessary. All terrorists should be hunted down and left to rot in a pool of their own blood. These uncivilized terror loving lunatics deserve no chance to rest, breathe, eat or sleep. War should be waged on these assholes 24/7. Only when the tides have turned and the bombs are falling over their side of the border do they only seem to care about innocent lives being lost - Even if they are the cause of them. |

| #9 Israel halts the war. Hezb' Allah keeps up the rockets. IDF can respond under UN resolution. Olmertz might even do what the military recommends, this time. |

| #7 The fighting is not going to stop because the Hezbullies don't know how to do anything else. Without the military swagger they are done for, by Saudi financed Leb forces, not by the IDF. Don't forget the strategic nature of this conflict to KSA and Egypt. They are not happy about all this Shiite force projection. I see them relishing the opportunity to take the Hezb's down, via proxy of course. Big dollars will flow to make that happen. |

| #4 It's Rovian plot...to bait Iran in to making a clear cut mistake. Oh no! We are all so weak...please don't attack us. All designed to justify the mule-a crushing to come. |

| #3 "The days have gone down in the West. Behind the hills, into shadow. How did it come to this?" Seems appropriate. The fight continues but it's just window dressing, setting the stage for the next phase which most likely will a terrorist onslaught the likes which has not been seen. I see this as Iran conducting a "recon in force". They probed, and were met with spinelessness. Iran, and it's allies and proxies can be counted on to respond accordingly when faced with such weakness. |

| #2 Israel will halt its war in Lebanon at 7 a.m. Monday... Until Hizb'Allah fires a shot, then it's back to business for the IDF. "Hey, we tried the cease fire thing. They shot at us so we had to shoot back!" |

| #1 I wonder if the Hezbo's have decided to stop as well. |
