Syria calls for cease fire in Lebanon.
I wonder who the Lebanese people, (not to mention the people of the Middle East), are going to see as seeking the end to the violence?

Syrian President Bashar Assad spoke out on Wednesday for the first time since the outbreak of the war in the North and said a cease-fire was necessary in order to stop the Israeli attacks on Lebanon. The president made the statement in a telephone conversation with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Meanwhile, a UN envoy who visited Israel and Lebanon this week and met with Spain's foreign minister Wednesday called for a quick decision on whether to deploy a new international force to stop the escalating Mideast fighting.

Annan and British Prime Minister Tony Blair said at the Group of Eight summit in Russia on Monday that deploying a new international force in southern Lebanon is the only way to stop the fighting.

But the US ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, said the UN Security Council should not start talking about sending a new force until it knows how the conflict is going to be resolved.

1. so they gon' stop doin' that shit?
was that mike really on by accident? or was it just another staged 'W. has a dick' commercial?

Sorry to be the conspiracy theorist, but I just wonder if that was spin there. Because I never believe anything they do is above-board, especially anything that gives Bush's base an erection.
