If you go back to the build up of the pre-Iraq invasion, when Saddam was still in power and W. was trying to get a coaltion together to bring down the regime and neutralize the "weapons of mass destruction" then you'd have to remember how Colin Powell was sent to speak in front of the United Nations and how he put aside his own personal beliefs and opinions on how to move forward only with a true coalition force and caved to President Bushs "cowboy" "go in alone" and "take em dead or alive" mantra. The point being that in hind sight Powell reluctantly maybe regrettably subjegated or relented to Bush in spite of his better instints to venture in a more proactive direction.
I'm afraid Condoleza Rice has let her guard down as well in handling the "situation" in Lebanon by not using her position as U.S. Secretary of State to call for an immediate cease fire and an instillation of Nato forces along the hostile border, she has relented to the whim and will of President Bush against what would appear a misguided use of force against a large civilian population and I can't seem to get past the fact that as long as the casualties aren't related to us they are "expendable." I would suggest things would be handled another way if the dead and wounded were those we could identify with on a personal level.
Borgman editorial cartoon illustrates how Condi has mounted Bushs "unicycal" perception as the worlds "Lone Ranger."
Wow, there's all that going on?!! I just thought it was a funny picture. :)
Yer on a roll, Mr. B.
(Re Powell/Rice pontification -- she has no guard to let down.)
I just wonder why no one has mentioned that this is Israel and Lebanon's quarrel. Why does the US have to get involved? Let them sort it out, they're grown up countries.
