Bush happy with UN resolution on Lebanon

CRAWFORD, Texas, Aug 6 (Reuters) US President George W Bush was happy with a draft U.N. resolution on ending the fighting in southern Lebanon, the White House said.

White House spokesman Tony Snow said Bush, who met Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and national security adviser Stephen Hadley at his Texas ranch, knew details of the resolution and ''he's happy about it.'' The draft resolution calls for a full cessation of hostilities based upon ''immediate cessation by Hizbollah of all attacks and the immediate cessation by Israel of all offensive military operations.'' A second resolution will take up the issue of a multinational force for Lebanon.

Snow said Bush, Rice and Hadley talked not only about the negotiations around the UN resolution, ''but generally about the contours of the president's vision for the Middle East and Middle East policy.'' REUTERS DH KP0423
