While Bush may be the President of the United States, he is king of wishful thinking.  Claiming that Israel won and Hezbollah lost because “There’s going to be a new power in the south of Lebanon, and that’s going to be a Lebanese force with a robust international force to help them seize control of the country - that part of the country” is not far from the Whitehouse’s PR gaff of 2003 claiming Mission Accomplished after capturing Baghdad.  When 30,000 international and Lebanese troops manage to patrol southern Lebanon without daily attacks from Hezbollah then one may claim that Israel has accomplished its goal.  At this point the odds are that Israel will be back in Lebanon sometime next year.

Update: Dave Winer says it just right.

Even IBD, ever the Bush supporter, suspect he’s being more than a bit premature.
