For Israel, chance to strike before an ally departs - International Herald Tribune: "For nine days, as European and United Nations officials have called urgently for a cease-fire in Gaza, the Bush administration has squarely blamed the rocket attacks of the Palestinian militant group Hamas for Israel's assault, maintaining to the end its eight-year record of stalwart support for Israel.
Bush, in his weekly radio address on Saturday, said the United States did not want a 'one-way cease-fire' that allowed Hamas to keep up its rocket fire, and Vice President Dick Cheney on Sunday echoed the point, declaring that only a 'sustainable, durable' peace would be acceptable."#TCOT
