The military campaign was necessary, U.S. officials said, to help rid Lebanon of Hizballah's independent armed capability - even though the elected, moderate government of Lebanon, on which Bush heaped praise during his U.N. speech, was among those pleading with the U.S. call an immediate cease-fire...
