Rubble

Via CNN, apparently the US has decided to give Israel the time they need to "defang" Hezbollah.
Senior administration officials said more time is needed to shape the diplomacy and to create conditions on the ground for a permanent change of the situation -- not merely a cease-fire. Israel needs time to "defang Hezbollah," said one of the officials, who asked not to be named in light of the ongoing diplomacy.

Allow me to translate, "We'll stop bombing when all of Lebanon looks like this:"

"Shape the diplomacy?" They call this shaping diplomacy? How warped does one have to be to come up with verbiage like that?! Good god, how do these administration officials face themselves in the mirror each morning.
