Bush claims that Israel won the battle against Hezbollah. Also says the South beat the North and that the indians never had a chance against Custer.

Bush admonished Iran and Syria for backing Hezbollah, which captured two Israeli soldiers on July 12 igniting the conflict. Both sides claimed victory Monday, hours after a U.N.-brokered cease-fire took effect, while Bush said Israel prevailed.

"Hezbollah attacked Israel. Hezbollah started the crisis, and Hezbollah suffered a defeat in this crisis," the president said at the State Department after a day of meetings with his top defense, diplomatic and national security advisers.

The United States backed Israel in the war, and Bush made clear he was determined to help the Israelis in the post-fighting struggle of words about who wound up on top.

Have you heard the latest news reports that Israel and America planned to attack Hezbollah months ago and just used this latest kidnapping as an excuse? I cannot find the source yet but when I do I will link to it.
