No room on the plane for Condi

As many as one hundred additional 5,000 pound bombs are on their way to the IAF (Israeli Air Force), according to the New York Times -- and many other Google alerts in my Hotmail mailbox. Whatever "little debate within the Administration" means, it surely is one of the reasons that Condoleezza Rice made it clear that she wasn't heading for the Middle East in a day or two to broker a cease fire.

Sad.

I will post my analysis of Pat Buchanan's take (which matches Pope Benedict XVI's take) on the entire situation and the belief by many neocon-Christians (an oxymoron) that suggests that the support of Israel will hasten the "End days" and the Rapture and the Second Coming of Christ -- and a bunch of other things that, in my opinion, would better be left to God's timing.

But OWOTO, we are getting into this mess deeper and deeper ...

Sage -

At least according to the NYT, they are the 5K-ers! I agree that they are a bit large for precision bombing of point targets like rocket launchers (in South Lebanon) and/or mortars (in Gaza), but what the blazes are we sending any munitions that-a-way at this particular time?

Poor Condi, if she really wants to broker a "cease fire."
