At Annapolis this week, President George W. Bush buried his doctrine. The Bush Doctrine was based upon a simple statement the president made in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 jihadist attacks on America.
“Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime,” Bush announced to the roaring applause of both houses of Congress.
The message emanating from Annapolis was exactly the opposite. What the administration effectively said was, “The more you support terrorists, the harder the U.S. will work to appease you.”
The price the U.S. and its allies who are fighting terrorism will pay for this abandonment of strategic wisdom will be steep. And Israel won’t be the only state to suffer.
Much attention has reasonably been paid to the threat the effects of Annapolis conference pose to Israel’s long-term security. The conference was based on a diplomatic framework unprecedented in its hostility to basic Israeli security concerns.

It hasn't just been Annapolis either. He has continued to demand Israel refrain from constructing walls and taking other preventative measures to end the terrorism against it.
That and our immigration policies are the main reasons why I have to qualify every comment of support for his WOT efforts.
I'm just crying...
He was treated as a joke before 9/11/01, so now he will be a joke after 1/20/08.
Well, it is sad. There are so many policies that wreak these days. Doubling the budget of the Department of Education when it should have been abolished. Creating another Great Society program. Our China policy. Our immigration policies...
Is it any wonder why folks like myself are saying they just won’t vote for any more RINOs?
Too bad it couldn’t have been the other way around. He could have surprised many of us. Instead...
Guess he got beat down so often by the Liberals that he got the Stockholm syndrome.
Actually, he was very clear what he wanted to do before he was elected. Immigration, Education, medication enhancements... he pretty well laid it out there.
As for his spotty fulfillment of his initial terrorism pronouncments, I don’t know what happened. Someone entered some language in one of his speaches that made him paint himself into a corner.
I don’t think he considers the Palestinians to be terrorists. What are Fatah and Hamas if not terrorist organizations?
You cant fight terrorism while being a Nutty Globalist.
Sad that Bush now will sell out Jews to the terrorists. His WOT has been a cruel joke
What irony considering that many leftist moonbats claim that we invaded Iraq at the behest of the 'neocons', er, Jews.
Anyone who thinks that a 3000 year old tribal war will be solved through diplomacy - especially when one side is composed of members of a death cult - is too stupid and naive to be trusted with public office.
Amnesty for illegals is a good idea too, eh Jorge?
“Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.”
Based on international aid given to Palestine, Bosnia, and other pro-Islam groups, Bush is with the terrorists....
OK meet the "King"... but why, why, why the hand-holding??
He met with the man because that’s his job.
He’s holding hands because he wants to.
Is it just me, or do others notice that since 9-11-01, we have been bowing more and more to the Islamic people?
We are allowing Mosques in every city, we are taking away our Christmas and Easter traditions because it insults the Muslims, we are allowing our airports to employ Muslims by the thousands, the Dubai Ports Deal, the Arabs buying out Citigroup, footwashing sinks and prayer rooms at all our airports, Muslims getting voted into public offices, Muslim taxi drivers refusing to carry passengers that have a seeing eye dog or those carrying alcohol, Muslim grocery workers that refuse to touch pork products, Muslims sueing large Airline companies because they have been ‘profiled’..........the list goes on and on.
I am confused, I guess. I thought it was Muslims that killed over 3,000 on September 11. But, all those that are here in our country now, are good guys, right?
Sorry, but man-man displays of affection are creepy and disgrace the office of President of the United States, whether done by GWB or Jimmy Carter.
“I am confused, I guess. I thought it was Muslims that killed over 3,000 on September 11. But, all those that are here in our country now, are good guys, right?”
Yes only good muslims are here now. Also all the refugees we are allowing in from Iraq, ALL GOOD. Anyone coming from a terrorist sponsored state, ALL GOOD. S/
Brokering a MidEast peace has been the siren song of every president for the last forty years. It seems like an inevitable development of grandiosity that occurs especially after a re-election. In order to sustain the delusion that "America" can engineer this chimera, it is necessary to fool oneself into believing that peace is what the arabs "really" want, and just the right touch of diplomatic ju jitsu will do the trick.
In psychospeak, this is known as "magical thinking"--believing something is so just because one wants it to be so. History of course has consistently provided rude awakenings. Bush will get his in due course.
Yeah you’re right, I’m just some kid posting on Mom’s computer. What do I know, right?
Ron Paul is your “Carrie” at the High School Prom. You should be ashamed of yourself.
George Bush made a fool of himself when he said that “Islam is a peaceful religion” and this makes him a grand liar. As Muslims come into this nation, they are being allowed to take away our “human rights”. Our nation is leaving God, in
favor of the heathen.
Think Chamberlain.
So if he wants to play 'peacekeeper' after helping to tear apart the region for seven years let 'em. It won't work, but at least it'll keep his mind off attacking another third world nation that doesn't represent a threat to us in any fashion.
You know what I think? I think we should give him another four years in office to see if he can finish off the Republic for good. At this rate it shouldn't take maybe another three years tops. Can I get a woo-hoo for 'conservative' policies? HAHAHAHA!!
But Dr. Paul is the kook. Right..... ;)
Guys, I read the article and then tried to weigh it against all the things that Bush has said and done. Now, I’ll agree that aspects of his national security policy are lacking, namely border-enforcement, public relations, investigating/punishing CIA leakers, etc., etc. All of us could spend a lot time pointing out his weaknesses.
The longer I thought about it, the more I wondered “what percentage of politicians would do more?” Now, I know there are some who would, and those that would are most assuredly your more conservative Republicans. As for Democrats...forget about it...all of them (except for Lieberman, perhaps) are even weaker than Bush. So - in perspective - are we fortunate to have Bush as president at this particular time (given the current batch of politicians in Washington)? To be honest, there’s not a lot of great leaders in the WoT from which to chose.
“Ahead of the Annapolis conference, Washington announced it was renewing its direct negotiations with Iran on Iraq’s future.”
When was this announced? Does anyone have a link?
“The newest round of talks, scheduled to begin in the coming days between Ambassador Ryan Crocker and his Iranian counterpart, Hassan Kazemi Qomi, are a clear indication that the U.S. has decided to appease the mullahs.”
Appeasing the mullahs means abandoning Iraq (ie, Immediate withdrawl of all forces, as is the key demand by Iran). This author is claiming the U.S. will immediately withdraw all forces in Iraq to appease Iran. Sounds like a bunch of BS to me. And what she calls the anti-Israel conference, a conference in which Israel is invited and Iran is not, was denounced only by Iran. Does anyone know of any other contries that denounced this conference?
“”... but why, why, why the hand-holding??”
It’s a cultural thing. I heard it’s not unusual for heterosexual Europeans of the same gender to hold hands in public (IIRC, my German teacher in HS made this claim).
I think the answer to your question is fast approaching and it won’t be good.
“People just haven’t been paying attention to the love fest from day one between Bush and his other girlfriend. It’s about money and OIL!!”
People just haven’t been paying attention to the love fest from 1933 between the United States and Saudi Arabia. It’s all about money and OIL!!
“PAUL’S A KOOK! Oh wait, Paul isn’t the one appeasing Muslims here...”
We’ll you should have known that this conference wasn’t organized by Ron Paul. For one thing, Israel was invited and Iran was not.
“George Bush made a fool of himself when he said that “Islam is a peaceful religion””
And the intel agents that helped capture or kill KSM, Zarqari, Ghailani, Atwah, ect.. where what religion? OBL and his pals at CAIR are wrong, the U.S. is not waging a war against Islam.
It already bled out.
Notice something else? Bush does not wear a tie because the king doesn’t. The POTUS on official busines in a suit without a tie? American politicians wear kneepads when it comes to dealing with Islam. He must’ve felt uncomfortable wearing the American flag on his coat lapel.
“..it’s not unusual for heterosexual Europeans of the same gender to hold hands in public..”
I must’ve been blind. I lived in Europe for 8 years but never saw two heterosexual males hold hands.
You nailed it....Bush has bought into the “peace-process” garbage.

Yep. Wish there were someplace to go to escape the inevitable. Like a nice ranch of 100,000 acres in Paraguay.
That is racsist of you. Neo conservativism is an ideology which believes in globalism. free trade, premptive, perpetual war, and nation building. They reject the "limited government" traditional conservative theory and embrace the concept of a strong central government...What does Israel have do do with American neo conservatism?
Sounds about right the right size and location to me too.
Condi's become, surprisingly, a Harriet Miers, IMO.
And a real idiot on the ME, and NK.
I'm sure there are other Halfbrightesque moves that I've forgotten, or don't know about.
The hand of the Lord is with Israel and He will defeat the fools Himself. It is His land and His covenant.
#13 should have the caption “G-d laughs last”.
The ‘Bush Doctrine’ was DOA, well, maybe not quite: if with 24 hours of the speech, Bush had directed the State Department to stop backing the KLA’s claim to Kosovo, and directed US forces in the province to vigorously protect Serbs and Serbian Orthodox churches and monasteries, the Bush Doctrine might have started a long and useful life.
But, nothing doing, State is still pushing to reward terrorists and illegal immigrants in the Balkans, with NATO, US forced included still running interference for whatever the KLA has changed it’s name to. Dead on Arrival.
