It's a bird ... it's a plane ... it's SUPER-CONDI!!

Well, it's down to the wire and who are we sending off to the Middle East to untangle the worst mess in most of our lifetimes?

Yup! It's super-Condoleezza Rice who will win the war, win the peace and destroy Hezbollah-type terrorism once and forever. She's made it clear that she is not going for a "quick ceasefire." She is after nothing less than a permanent solution to the Middle East crisis. In her words, she is totally rejecting a "false ceasefire" that ... blah, blah, blah ...

And to insure that it's a genuine ceasefire, we are shipping additional laser-guided bombs and ammunition to the Israelis in advance of her trip to the Middle East.

It takes bombs and bullets to win the peace. Remember Hiroshima! Remember Nagasaki!

Duck and cover ...



PS: Meanwhile, a small group of courageous Congressmen and Congresswomen are co-sponsoring House Continuing Resolution 450 that calls upon the President to: (1) appeal to all sides in the current crisis in the Middle East for an immediate cessation of violence; (2) commit US diplomats to multi-party negotiations; and (3) send a high-level diplomatic mission to the region to facilitate such multi-party negotiations.

Only 23 persons had signed this continuing resolution the last I saw it mentioned on C-SPAN earlier today. And I haven't heard one peep about it on any of the mainline newscasts which blare on and on in my otherwise peaceful livingroom.

So very strange ... not even a passing reference to the continuing resolution ... and yes, so very sad ...
