So Condi, How's That There Ceasefire Thing Working Out

BEIRUT, Lebanon — "A Hezbollah Cabinet minister on Tuesday said the government may attempt to break the Israeli naval and air blockade of Lebanon by calling on ships and aircraft to travel to Lebanese ports without prior Israeli approval."

Rice lovers and I can agree to disagree, but my appreciation for her was in wane even before she nanny'd Bush into this ridiculous ceasefire. Months of "give peace a chance" were beginning to make me ill until I finally wrote her off as yet another secretary stumbling about in oversized shoes. I understand the premise of her being the Yang to Rummy's Yin, but sweetness and cream need not apply in today's decision-making world. The Hezzies are doing the exact opposite of what would assure a meaningfull cessation of hostilities, and even the French know that as is evidenced by their reluctance to send troops.

Shame Bolton already has a job. For a while, anyway.
