I knew that there was something missing in the Presidency of George W. Bush! We don't have to parse his sentences to try and figure out what he really means! If John Fing Kerry were honest, his slogan would be "Kerry - Parsers of the World, Unite!"

There's not that much parsing.

Fence as security tool: good.

Fence as a land-grab tool: bad.

Bush is saying the same thing.

Basically, the idea is we can support Israel (as most of us in FR do), but you can't take the sentence "My country, right or wrong", and substitute "Israel" for "My country"... not if your an American.

Sometimes Israel is wrong, and conservatives, and supporters of Israel have a right to say so.

I'm not even saying Israel is wrong in this case... all I'm saying is that Bush and Kerry are both saying the same thing: "the route should be carefully considered".

And that I agree with them.

Look, the maddening thing about the liberals and the left is that they never concede anything to Bush. Everything bad is all Bush's fault and everything good would have been better but for Bush. Let's not be like them. I don't want to be like them. I don't want to nitpick. To say that Kerry contradicted himself here is nitpicking.
