From Debkafile, August 7, 2006, 10:09 PM (GMT+02:00) [emphasis added]...
The US president said ...in a special Middle East statement Monday, Aug. 7.... The US is working with allies to bring pressure on ... [the Syrian and Iranian] governments. The choice is theirs. But they sponsor Hizballah and therefore act to create chaos and obstruct democracy. The first UN resolution draft aims at a cessation of violence, the second to address the root cause of the crisis which is a state operating within a state. The Hizballah is an armed movement which provoked the crisis. We can’t have a vacuum. Our intent is to strengthen the Lebanese government, to extend its sovereignty to the whole country and with the help of an international force make sure there are no armed groups in the south. Israeli forces will then withdraw.
