They're all Arabists over there and the chief Arabist? Poppy's old buddy James A. Baker III (They don't vote for us anyway so F* 'em)
I don't mix political discussions with my religion.
Rice should keep her safe and secure mouth shut.
When the Hamas Palestinian terrorists are all dead, then Israel maybe can THINK about its borders.
Justice is harder to achieve than control. Maybe the "neocons" now figure that they can control the ME more easily if Israel slowly disappears?
As an American citizen, I say to Israel: Ignore Rice and Bush. You have more than proven your good faith by pulling out of Gaza and yet you received no credit from the international community, including the USA. Build your wall, tighten your borders (maybe Rice and Bush will learn something), and never, ever, ever give in to the terrorists and their protectors.
If the Jews hadn't left behind those synagogues to tempt the young arabs into violence... how could they have been expected to remain calm when confronted with those symbols of all they despise?

I USED to like Condi but I don't respect her any longer. We NEED to get out of Israel's face and leave them alone. They have made MORE than enough concessions to those murdering Islamist pukes!!
BEcause the whole thing is a farce. Arafat was born in Cairo. Abbas was born in Jordan. 2 of the 3 other top P.A. leaders were born in Syria and Lebanon. There is no such thing as a "Palestinian".
Maybe now that it becomes more & more obvious that George W. Bush, Condo-leeza Rice and the rest of the BA don't care about conservatives or what they think or want (it's background noise, chatter, lot of... o-pinin'), they don't think they have to hide the fact that they don't care what Israel thinks, wants, or needs either.
Too bad. I used to like her.
Not any more.
It's easy to forget that she was protege to Maddy Albright's Daddy.
I agree. On this issue I do not support Rice.
I'm simply amazed at the 180 change in our public statements concerning Israel since Bush was reelected. Whatever happened to "you're either with us or against us?" Hasn't Israel been with us with more intensity than any other nation during the WOT? Just what have the murdering palestinians done to show they are with us? Not a damn thing! Sorry Mr. President and Madam Secretary of State, but you both need to shut the hell up unless you're heaping vast quantities of praise on
Israel!
I love Israel. Lived there a while, in fact.
But, no, they are not always our friend.
Just recently they tried to sell Venezuela updated packages for thier F-16's. Only backed down after extremee US pressure. Tried to sell some sort of hightech aircraft to Cuba, too, I believe.
Israel is pretty damn socialist, too. They just have the advantage of a population that culturally despises freeloaders, so it hasn't gone down the drain.
I've never lived there, but would like to visit. I do not for a moment pretend that Israel is a perfect ally. Remember the stories of spies in the US working for Israel. But I do know that Israel has a right to live free of terrorist attacks on innocent Israeli civilians. I just wonder if Bush and Rice believe this.
Interesting...bump
Someone tell me again why I would want to vote for Condi?
