Shimon Peres Called Upon to Shield Israel Diplomatically - Again
If the peacenik credibility of former hark Shimon Peres helps Israel delay a US-imposed stop time for Lebanon II, will you all apologize for calling him a worthless traitor:
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Vice Premier Shimon Peres disagreed Tuesday on the expected end to Israeli military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Rice said that a cease-fire could be reached in Lebanon within days while Peres said the fighting may go on for weeks... Peres, however, said Israel's military campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon could go on for weeks despite international pressure for a cease-fire sooner. Asked in Washington how long it would be before the Israel Defense Forces campaign ends, Peres told reporters: "In my judgment, it is not far away. You can count it in a matter of weeks, not months."
We have friends in Israel who insist on Shimon Peres's irrelevance. That's because they don't understand that other countries matter.
