The Day's Round Up

Not really comprehensive, as this is only a portion of what I read but who wants dozens of links?

Israel PM Ehud Olmert is in political hot water - also tells us that IDF soldiers want an investigation into the events of the past few weeks. I guess they want a reason why the Israeli campaign failed so bad.

US pushing for a UN resolution that would disarm Hezbollah - Without a good reason for Hezbollah to disarm, Hezbollah is not going to disarm. If they are counting on the UN to do it or on the Lebanese Army to do it...yeah right. Keep hoping. Right now, Hezbollah sees no reason for it to disarm especially given that it believes the balance of power has shiften in their favor over the course of conflict with Israel. It's stronger than it was before, its more well respected, it has a higher base to recruit from due to the conflict, and it feels that it won. Why, they would ask, should they disarm? Even more dangerously, if it is tasked on UN forces to do the disarming, they might ask: Who's gonna make me? Come and try.

Not much today.
