Israel May be on the Way to a Huge Mistake

(Hat-Tip goes to Drudge)

Israeli PM Has Accepted Cease-Fire Deal

Israeli Prime Minister Accepts U.N. Cease-Fire Deal, Officials Say


By KARIN LAUB

JERUSALEM Aug 11, 2006 (AP)— Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has accepted an emerging Mideast cease-fire deal and informed the United States of his decision, Israeli officials said Friday.

Olmert will recommend that his government approve the deal in its meeting on Sunday, the officials said on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to brief journalists on the internal discussions.

It was not immediately clear whether Israel's expanded ground offensive would be frozen. Defense officials said it appeared the campaign would be halted.

Sadly, pressure from the international defeatists may have caused Olmert to weaken his stance on fighting Hezbollah. It's a pathetic spectacle unraveling if what I believe that this "cease-fire" will turn out to be when revealed to the press. What people fail to realize, either through ignorance or a weak hope for no conflict, is that terrorists and tyrants bent on domination of a part of the world or the whole world will NOT by any stretch of the imagination respect truces, treaties, nor cease-fires. If they do obey for some time, it will only be temporary, as a permanent agreement to such binding international agreements are inconsistent with their beliefs. And fervent believers as a whole will NEVER change their ways. The wiser option for Israel or any nation facing such a threat is to disregard the entities calling for a treaty, safe in their part of the world not affected by the enemy's attacks. If Israel is participating in a cease-fire like a fear, they will only delay the war, not end it. And the cost may indeed by greater when the time comes again where action is the only choice.
