The words I want to use for this policy of Bush are ones I cannot use in a public forum! Disgusted is about the best I can come up with that can be posted here. If this is what a President who claims to be a "friend", does to Israel, I hate to think of what that carpetbagger Kerry would have thought up. Bush is a "friend" of Israel the way Chamberlain and Deladier were "friends" of Czechoslovakia in 1938. I'm ashamed of my government's appeasement.
Keep in mind that trhe palesites must hold up their end of the 'agreement". It is not in their feral nature to do so.
You know the apple of his eye is a pun in Hebrew don't you, It also means the iris of the eye. I suspect this is the prophecy that Israel cannot trust America, that their trust should be in the LORD directly. It is also a promise that the Nations that mess with Israel, will pay dearly, no matter who they are.
I have taken some heat on Free Republic for my opinion that President Bush was NEVER on Israel's side. I have doubted whether or not he is a friend of Israel from the beginning.
When President Bush and Prime Minister Sharon were both new in their respective offices the Prime Minister came to the U.S. to visit the President. Israel's English language press ran with the headline "Bushwhacked!" to describe the visit. The Prime Minister warned the President that Israel was not Czechoslovakia in 1938 and would not be sold out. The White House commented as one might expect and relations between Israel and the U.S. were positively icy.
Then 9/11 happened, the two nations found common cause, and all was forgiven and forgotten.
It seems in his second term President Bush has returned to his original policy towards Israel.
Doesn't Israeli government have the same opinion in this issue ?
