U.S. Ambassador Bolton: Israel Force vs. Hizballah Not Excessive
[Dow Jones] Countering an assessment by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, U.S. Ambassador John Bolton told MSNBC Thursday, "I don't think that the use of force by Israel is excessive" against Lebanon's Hizballah militia. Earlier Thursday, Annan condemned what he called Israel's "excessive use of force." Bolton called Annan's assessment "wrong." He said it is "important to understand that the Israeli operation is not conducted against the government of Lebanon or the people of Lebanon."
