Condi Rice does stand-up

Condi Rice said this evening that "We believe that a cease-fire is urgent," and that "it is important, however, to have conditions that will make it sustainable."

Ms. Rice added, "the really important thing here is that whatever we do has to contribute to Lebanon's regaining sovereignty over all its territory."

Presumably she doesn't believe that Israel has bombed enough Lebanese military bases to sufficiently facilitate Lebanon's regaining sovereignty over all its territory.
