From CNN: "President Bush acknowledged Friday that it could take time for the people of Lebanon and the world to view the war between Israel and Hezbollah as a loss for the militant group."

This coming from the guy who couldn't foresee anything - any business venture he ever did went belly-up, couldn't see the influence Bin Laden was having on the Islamic world, didn't foresee the chaos and mayhem in Iraq - never mind the WMD or lack of there of, and didn't even foresee the levees crumbling in New Orleans during a disastrous hurricane when the entire country knew they would. I am only scratching the surface here, but hey, he knows the loss was suffered by Hezbollah, and you just wait and see. Never mind the fact that Hezbollah is being raised to the level of a superhuman group by the man on the Arab street for withstanding the military might of Israel and the U.S.A. That by itself, is a huge victory for the group.

Nice try, Mr. Bush. Go feed that line to some of your 30 percenters. Call it what it really is: another miserable failure of your foreign policy. If you had the foresight, you would have called for an immediate cease-fire on day 1, thereby avoiding the spectre of a re-invigorated Arab youth chanting Death to America and Israel. Not to mention the humiliation of Israel.

Not every war can be won using brute strength.

"But for now, with a careful, thoroughly grounded opinion, one judge in Michigan has done what 535 members of Congress have so abysmally failed to do. She has reasserted the rule of law over a lawless administration and shown why issues of this kind belong within the constitutional process created more than two centuries ago to handle them."

Our founding fathers will be proud for someone finally standing up and saying enough is enough.

Did Tony Snow decide to change his name to show his affiliation?

From CNN: "In a statement from the White House, Press Secretary Tony Fox said, "The program is carefully administered and targets only international phone calls coming into or out of the United States where one of the parties on the call is a suspected al Qaeda or affiliated terrorist."
