#1 My quibble is that Olmert would have to have a sudden personality change to act as Captain Ed describes. Up to now he's fit the jellyfish pic to a tee.

#2 Podhoretz in the Corner:
A Quick Parsing of the Resolution [John Podhoretz]

It's not a disaster, for this reason: The language of Paragraph 10, point 1, reads "Calls for a full cessation of hostilities based upon, in particular, the immediate cessation by Hizbollah of all attacks and the immediate cessation by Israel of all offensive military operations." This is not parallel language. Hezbollah must cease all attacks. Israel must only cease "offensive military operations." Since Israel itself defines its own action in South Lebanon as by definition defensive, not offensive, there's a lot of give here. Besides which, will Hezbollah really cease "all attacks"?

#3 Oh goodie, it's a worthless piece of paper.
Any Hezbollah Rocket passing into Israel is a valid excuse to resume kicking their ass.

Wonderful, promote and reward the Israelli who got that language into the "Cease Fire" paper.
