How could you tolerate other partys of your's is named "The Party of God"?

[Howlin]

Huh?

[bushfamfan]

Kerry's not the only one who flip flops.

[Mr. Mojo]

.....despite its terrorist past.

Past? That's like saying Al Qaeda has a "terrorist past."

[expatguy]

Has Bush been smoking crack?

[Mr. Mojo]

Hezbollah has been involved in Lebanese politics for over a decade, with an extensive social welfare program

"Exactly. ....and Osama built day care centers." - Patty Murray

I wonder if Al Qaeda gets the same deal.

"I would hope that Hezbollah would prove that they are not by laying down arms and not threatening peace."

I think he’s just being absurd for effect.

It’s almost like saying, “Of course France could be a world power, if they would prove it by not being a bunch of anti-freeze drinking, quick-surrendering pansies.”

It’s a fun, but goofily unrealistic, hypothetical.

[Ashamed Canadian]

This is just lip service on the President's part

There is a phenomenon in what President Bush has in mind sometimes that he goes too soft. Attempting to heal the trans-Atlantic relations which once collapsed with several European countries opposing Iraq War, maintaining relations with Turkey that have been in the way in 2003 for sending its military in Iraq and denying use of military use in Turkey, proposal to Iran for a deal to motivate Iran not to continue its nuclear program, and this time going soft on Hezbolla in Lebanon.

Tactics: He's throwing this bone to them knowing they will give him and the U.S. the finger, then he can at leat say, "I tried" before some form of possible military action in the future.

Same with Iran. He held out the possibility of WTO membership as per EU negotiations but they said "Get lost." Hey, he tried to be nice...
