Blair: Stop the killing - later
BBC News
Tony Blair has said a plan is being drawn up to secure an "immediate cessation of hostilities" in Lebanon.
But the prime minister said it will take a few days to finalise because both sides had to make concessions.
"It will not stop on both sides unless there is a plan to make it stop and that's what we are working on urgently, as we speak," said Mr Blair.
He said what was happening in Lebanon was a "catastrophe" but innocent Israeli civilians had been killed too.
"I don't want the killing to go on. I want the killing to stop now."
... "And then I believe we will need some form of international force in the South, in Lebanon, which we must build up over time to make sure that that can then act [sic] as a buffer between those people on the Lebanese side who want to cause difficulty, and Israel" [db: who only seek peace...and land that belongs to others]."

db: BBC [World Service radio] reported that our despicable neocon PM said "We are putting in place a plan, as I said last week, to create an immediate cessation of hostilities". 100 parents of dead Lebanese children would say "too little, too late". This is a plan to give Israel as much time as possible to 'take out' Hezbollah - and with it infrastructure and civilians.
