Like the title of the video - "The shit heard 'round the world". Heh heh! Read the full transcript of the conversation on the BBC website earlier. It's just utter gibberish.

I think they knew the mic was live. Did you see Tony switch it off once they'd passed the buck to Kofi Annan? And the story is Bush swearing...spin masterclass right there.

Lebanese children, covered with wounds, in Beirut hospitals. The funeral of the victims of a missile in Haifa. The ruins of a whole devastated quarter in Beirut. Inhabitants of the north of Israel fleeing south from the Katyushas. Inhabitants of the south of Lebanon fleeing north from the Israeli Air Force.

Death, destruction. Unimaginable human suffering.

And the most disgusting sight: George Bush in a playful mood sitting on his chair in St. Petersburg, with his loyal servant Tony Blair leaning over him, and solving the problem: "See? What they need to do is get Syria to get Hizbullah to stop doing that shit, and it's over."

Thus spake the leader of the world, and the seven dwarfs - "the great of the world" - say Amen.

SYRIA? BUT only a few months ago it was Bush - yes, the same Bush - who induced the Lebanese to drive the Syrians out of their country. Now he wants them to intervene in Lebanon and impose order?

The US want the situation to escalate, so they have an excuse to march in and take over the whole region, they already have a foothold in Isreal, and a toehold in Iraq.
