From a National Review article, concering the Downing Stree Memo:

Regime change had been U.S. policy since October 31, 1998, when President Clinton signed the Iraq Liberation Act. It was not a state secret. On February 12, 2002, Colin Powell stated that "With respect to Iraq, it has long been, for several years now, a policy of the United States government that regime change would be in the best interests of the region, the best interests of the Iraqi people. And we are looking at a variety of options that would bring that about." The policy had bipartisan support; in June 2002 Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle said, "There is broad support for a regime change in Iraq. The question is how do we do it and when do we do it." It was also an international objective. On April 6, 2002, during a summit in Crawford, Texas, Prime Minister Blair said that regime change in Iraq was the policy of Great Britain, and that failure to act against Saddam was “not an option.” Blair pledged to support military action against Iraq, should that become necessary.

Vindicate our President, Lord!

Freedom —
Our heritage!
Under God — our prayer!
Remember and honor those who,
Through their blood and efforts,
Have given us this right — our duty and privilege!
On this anniversary of our nation's founding, say "thanks"
For their sacrifices, past, present and future.

Jewel beyond price, treasure of the ages —
Unbowed by tyrant's yoke we stand in freedom.
Lift your eyes to heaven and praise God.
You are free!
-- Mary Beth Magee


"This Fourth of July weekend, we think of the men and women who are defending our freedom as members of the United States military. In Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere, they are fighting the terrorists who threaten America and the civilized world. Our Nation honors these brave men and women, and their families, for their service and sacrifice."
-- President George W. Bush


As the President has related his view for the future of American involvement in Iraq, pray for the successful outworking of that vision, asking God to powerfully intervene and strengthen that nation, that peace and liberty will come to the people of Iraq. Pray for progress on both the military and political fronts.

Pray for the President as he travels to Gleneagles, Scotland, next week for the G-8 summit, asking God for protection, wisdom and clear thought for the President and all the EU leaders. Pray that God will guide the meetings, accomplishing His will in ways that will impact the world for good. He will travel to Denmark directly prior the G-8, meeting with Prime Minister Rasmussen on July 6.

As President Bush observes his 59th birthday on Wednesday, July 6, pray that God will continue to lead, guide and bless him. Pray that he will be drawn often to God's powerful Word, and will fellowship with Him and others in prayer. Pray also that he will continue to enjoy vibrant health and strength as he serves our nation.

Pray also for First Lady Laura Bush as she travels to Africa following the G-8 Summit. Pray for her safety and for wisdom as she travels and speaks with others about the importance of education, progress on the battle to defeat HIV/AIDS and women's rights....

Give thanks to God for the freedom and liberty that He has bestowed upon our nation. As we celebrate 229 years of freedom, we are reminded that without divine help, this nation would never have been born. Pray that we will continue to be a nation that God can bless, honoring and welcoming Him into our public and private lives.

....Pray for those working to draft the Iraqi constitution. Pray also for the diminution of the insurgent efforts and the strengthening of all who are working for peace and democracy in Iraq.

Pray for the men and women of our military, particularly those who remain in harm's way, working to defend and advance freedom, especially in Afghanistan and Iraq. Pray for their protection and care as they serve in this very dangerous region of the world, asking God's blessing as they seek to complete their mission so they may return home to their friends and family who long for their presence.

The President needs our prayers, Lord. We exhorted in 1 Timothy 2 to make interecession for all men.... first of all kings and all in authority. Where are those who pray? In the other thread, someone took the time to bash him, but few are praying for him these days. Father God, increase those who pray for President Geroge W. Bush. It is not a matter of whether we agree with him. For whatever reasons, he decided to serve this country, and we should honor him with prayers for that. And MORE IMPORTANT we are instructed to pray FIRST OF ALL for kings and those in authority....

Dear Lord, multiply these prayers exponentially, pray them forward, REpray each of them, and bring in reenfroecements to add to these prayers. Add these prayers to every other prayer being prayed for our President this day. May these prayers connect, in the heavenlies, with all the other prayers for our President that arise to Your throne.... May the golden censors be full, so they can be turned over and fire thrown down to the earth on behalf of President Bush.

Lord God, SPEAK TO THOSE who don't pray for him, as You spoke to me. Remind them of 1 Timothy 2:1. Father, MOVE ON THEM and CONVICT THEM TO PRAY! This is not a nice thought. We MUST do this. I thank You for the correpsonding anointing coming upon me now.... I know this to be a message from God to those who will read it and heed it. Lord, please, please, please wake up Your people! Now, is the time, to PRAY, PRAY, PRAY for our President, because of the important decisions he is making at this pivotal time in history, so close to Your soon return. He is the President of a nation who hangs in the balance. We just celebrated 229 years under the SAME Constitution (setting a record, as the only nation to do that). Yet, it is a Constitution we stray far from. Father God, we need righteousness to rule in America again! The founding fathers said you had to be a Christian to be in government. Now, it's quite the opposite and Christians will barely dare to run for office. Lord, we need Godly Supreme Court justices to replace those retiring or quitting. Father, we NEED changes in America, before You give up on this naiton who seems to be running headlong into embracing the legislation of sin. Lord, our President needs to remain strong on what he promised to do: nominate judges who support the Constitution.... namely, the right to life of ALL (meaning the unborn). Father, CALL YOUR MIGHTY MEN AND WOMEN, Your remnant in America, the breakers (Micha 2:12 - 13) to pray.

Lord, I ask for You to call them into this thread and the other thread for President Bush and let them post a prayer. In Jesus Name, amen.

ENGEL: SYRIA AND LEBANON MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE
Calls Hezbollah attacks “an act of war”
Washington, D.C.- Congressman Eliot Engel (D-NY), Senior Member of the House International Relations Committee and author of Syria Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act, condemned the Hezbollah attacks and vowed to hold Syria and Lebanon accountable.
Engel issued the following statement: "I am outraged by today's Hezbollah attack on Israel. This was an act of war, and Israel has every right to respond militarily to stamp out the terror threat.
“It is clear that kidnapping is becoming standard practice for the Syrian-backed terrorist groups. First, Hamas seized Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit and today Hezbollah grabbed two Israeli soldiers from within Israel's borders.
“I call on the President to complete implementation of the Syria Accountability Act's remaining sanctions on Syria until it ends support for terrorism. With Hamas based in Damascus and Hezbollah receiving full Syrian backing, it's time to impose the full range of sanctions.
“I call upon the Lebanese government to immediately condemn this action, take full control of all of its territory, and secure the release of the hostages so they can return to their families. The Lebanese government must know that the United States and the world are watching how they handle this crisis. Either they side with the hostage takers in Hezbollah which sits in the Lebanese government or it stands with the world against the terrorists.
“We must give full backing to Israel as it deals with the terrorist groups, Hamas and Hezbollah, and must hold Syria and Lebanon accountable as long as they continue to sponsor and host these vicious organizations."

Little progress in cooling Israel-Lebanon conflict
Iran threatens 'crushing response' if Israel attacks Syria
Saturday, July 15, 2006
Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora says Bush is "sincere" in his efforts to help Lebanon.
(CNN) -- Diplomacy sputtered Friday in the Israel-Lebanon conflict, as President Bush was forced to walk a political tightrope, Iran lobbed threats and insults at Israel, and Lebanon pleaded for international intervention to no avail.
In a phone call, Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora urged Bush to help persuade Israel to halt its attacks. Bush expressed support, and U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told Siniora she would apply pressure to help achieve a cease-fire, according to the prime minister's office.
But White House spokesman Tony Snow said Bush made no promises to Siniora that he would try to persuade the staunch U.S. ally to scale back the military assault on Lebanon that has destroyed infrastructure and left dozens of civilians dead.
"The president is not going to make military decisions for Israel," Snow said.
News of the conversation came as the Pentagon was trying to figure out how to evacuate about 25,000 American citizens from Lebanon, military sources said.
In Russia for the G-8 summit, Bush reiterated his assertion that Israel had a right to defend itself, but again expressed concern that Israel could topple the U.S.-friendly Lebanese government that has been in place since the 2005 elections, the first after Syria ended its 30-year military occupation of the country.
Bush "believes that the Israelis have a right to protect themselves, and also that we think it's important that in doing that, they try to limit as much as possible so-called collateral damage, not only to facilities but also to human lives," Snow said.
En route to St. Petersburg, Russia, Bush called King Abdullah of Jordan and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, both of whom he thanked for trying to help resolve the situation....

Israel
DAY'S EVENTS
Key Developments in the Israel Conflict
Below are some of the key developments from the ongoing conflict in Israel from Friday, July 14:
-- Hezbollah’s leader said Friday after a failed Israeli attack on his home and office that his group is ready for “open war” with Israel.
-- Hezbollah used an unmanned aircraft filled with explosives to attack an Israeli warship. The impact set the ship on fire and four sailors are missing.
-- Israel targets the Beirut airport for a second day in a row and struck Lebanon’s main road artery, the Beirut-Damascus highway. Hezbollah strikes back, firing more rockets at Israeli towns across the border.
-- Hezbollah is blamed for firing more than 200 rockets from Lebanon in the last two days. Nearly a quarter of a million Israelis are huddled in bomb shelters.
-- An emergency meeting of Arab League ministers is set for tomorrow in Egypt, one of the more moderate Mideast countries apparently frustrated by Hezbollah’s decision to start fighting with Israel.
-- The Associated Press picked up Hezbollah TV reports that the headquarters of the Hezbollah terrorists has been destroyed by Israeli bombs dropped in an airstrike. CBN News sources in Israel said Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah is still alive.
-- An Israeli warship enforces a naval blockage. The sea operation is part of the major Israeli offensive on Lebanon, which started on Wednesday after Hezbollah guerrillas killed eight Israeli soldiers and captured two.
-- There’s word that four soldiers are missing after an Israeli warship was hit off the coast of Lebanon.
*This information was compiled from top Associated Press headlines and briefings throughout the day.

Pray for President and Mrs. Bush, now in St. Petersburg, Russia....As the G-8 leaders gather under the cloud of heightened violence in the Middle East, pray for God's powerful presence in their summit...Pray for an end to the fighting and firebombing between Lebanon, Hizbollah and Israel...Pray for President Bush, Secretary of State Rice and all leaders to have God's wisdom and strength as they seek to support Israel and influence Lebanon and Syria to disarm...

We've got plenty of blessings to give thanks for, and I'm blessed by the fact that millions of Americans, many of whom I've never seen face-to-face, pray for me and my family. It's one of the great blessings of America, to be President of a land of prayer....We come together to give our thanks for all our blessings, and recognize our nation's continuing dependence on divine providence.
