roachboy, I've posted documentation that consists of quotes from former (until 1995) chief of U.S. middle east intelligence/analysis at the the U.S. state dept.,
as well as of former U.S. treasury sec'ty Paul O'Neill. that makes the case that the Bush admin., as early as Jan. 30, 2001, abandoned diplomacy in favor of a "tilt toward Israel", and that Sec'ty Rice was giving the impression of pursuing a cease fire in Lebanon, while her intent was actually to keep that from happening.... indefinetly.
Why would you think that your "evidence".....from a report in the Guardian, evidence that amounts to nothing more than an indicator of pre-ordained policy of war, would be any more compelling than my earlier evidence from involved administration "players", who witnessed the official decision making from the inside....that what we are seeing is the result of Israel receiving a "green light" from the new, "one sided" U.S. policy makers?
No one commented in reaction to my "evidence", which seems much more persuasive and closer to the foundation of the changes that enable what we see playing out in the M.E. today. Don't expect much reaction to your "stub" from the Guardian. The mindset here is not based on consideration of evidence. It is all about "feelings".
