U.S. OKs rushing bombs to Israel
Of course. It all makes sense.
Bush said it himself:

“I’m a war president. I make decisions here in the Oval Office in foreign policy matters with war on my mind.”
-- George Bush, NBC’s Meet the Press, February 8, 2004

“Bring ‘em on.”
-- George Bush, July 2, 2003

Rice will head to Mideast, rejects cease-fire calls

July 22, 2006

WASHINGTON -- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will head to the Middle East on Sunday searching for a diplomatic resolution to end the Israeli-Hizballah confrontation that threatens to escalate and possibly spread through an already volatile region.

On Friday, she rejected the "false promise" of an immediate cease-fire in the spreading war between Israel and Hizballah because it likely would maintain the status quo, rather than address the cause of the problem.
