Bush uses his weekly radio address to talk about how people dying in the Middle East right now can be a good thing because we can finally bring peace to the region even if they have to be bombed back to the Stone Age to do so, and as usual, he makes a reference to 9/11. Nothing new to see here, folks.
Israel Rejects U.N. Request for Cease-Fire
Israel on Saturday rejected a request by the U.N. for a three-day cease-fire in Lebanon to deliver humanitarian supplies and allow civilians to leave the war zone.
Avi Pazner, a government spokesman, said Israel already has opened safe corridors across Lebanon for such shipments and that Hezbollah guerrillas were blocking them to create a humanitarian crisis.
"There is no need for a temporary, 72-hour cease-fire because Israel has opened humanitarian corridors to and from and Lebanon," he told reporters.
"The problem is completely different. It is Hezbollah who is deliberately preventing the transfer of medical aid and of food to the population of southern Lebanon in order to create a humanitarian crisis, which they want to blame Israel for," he added.
Congrats on spreading more pro-Israel propaganda to the world!
State Radio: Iran to Reject U.N. Proposal
Iranian state radio said Saturday that the government would reject a proposed U.N. resolution that would give it until Aug. 31 to suspend uranium enrichment or face the threat of international sanctions.
"Iranians will not accept unfair decisions, even in the framework of resolutions by the international bodies," the commentary on state-run radio said.
There has been no official comment to the draft resolution, but state radio often is thought to provide the Iranian government line.
