Can somebody please tell me WHY the Israeli's are giving yet more concessions to the terrorists, and why we keep pushing them to do it?

Gee Condi, I'm glad you think it isn't unreasonable for the Israelis to be "obsessed" with security. Do you think the fact that people try to openly (rockets) and stealthily (suicide bombers) murder them on a daily basis might have something to do with their "obsession?"

For someone who is a Christian and presumably knows the Bible and Jewish history well, she is remarkably clueless. Many people and nations in history were riding high until they troubled the Jews one time too many. Don't think you are immune, Dr. Rice.

Ignorance of the enemy my friend, or denial of it, I don't know what the hell she is doing. It's deplorable.

We know she's a brilliant speaker in Public with an extraordinary memory.

You can almost hear folks going "uhhhhh, as she twists their arm which "slaps them in the face" to bring them to their senses."

As she gives away more of G-d's land to the evil ones,
we will have more tornadoes killing more Americans.

Up until the dear Dr. Rice became Secretary of State, I had the most absolute and upmost respect for the lady. Would have even LOVED to see her up against Hitlary in '08.

NOT NOW, the respect I had is diminishing fast.

Well I disagree highly with President Bush's policy towards Israel, don't get me wrong, he's the best man for the job, but again the policy with Israel is sickening. It's simple for me, those that do harm to Israel, I have no respect for. It is unjust and unfair that we (USA) can take out terrorist around the planet, and we (USA) demand that Israel must cut deals with terrorist Muslims. I find it repugnant.

Condi Rice has bullied Israel into concessions that will cost lives.

She has lost my vote as well.

So that when all the pali's are located in one place, their own state, it's easier to blow them off the map and not risk killing innocent israelis.

The enemies of Israel are already in one place, surrounding Israel.

The document commits Israel to permit the immediate export of the pepper crop and the rest of the Gaza harvest "on an urgent basis." By Dec. 15, Israel agreed, Israeli border authorities would process 150 export trucks a day through the Karni commercial crossing into their territory, and by the end of next year, that number would increase to 400 trucks a day. Israel also agreed to allow the movement of bus convoys between Gaza and the West Bank starting Dec. 15, allowing travel between Palestinian territories physically separated by Israel.

Israel agreed to allow the Palestinians to begin building a seaport and not to interfere with its operation. The document also committed the sides to serious talks on the construction of a Palestinian airport.

The security-sovereignty deadlock was resolved in a compromise in which the Israelis agreed to cede responsibility for camera surveillance and watch-list screening at Rafah to European personnel, while the Palestinians accepted that the Europeans would have final authority to order extra searches and computer checks on people and vehicles traveling from Egypt to Gaza.

The Americans didn't get everything they asked for. “But we got a lot,”...

...commits Israel to permit....

Israel agreed....

Israel also agreed....

...in which the Israelis agreed....

The Israelis agreed to cede....

Pardon me, but what did the Pallies agree to do? Why is Israel agreeing to all of this stuff, and why are we pressing them to do so, all without any visible or substantive Pallie concessions (such as the "concession" to actually live up to the dozens of broken agreements signed in the past)????

The Americans didn't get everything they asked for. “But we got a lot,”...

What else did we ask for? And shouldn't it be the Pallies who said "we didn't get everything we asked for" instead of the US? Since when did we become a proxy for the terrorists, and WHY???.

Watch out, more natural disasters to come...."I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you."

Some deal. Just means more terrorists are enabled. No sure who wins here except Hammas and Al Qaeda. Why is it so tough to get a Sec State with some common sense? The galling thing is that Bush says "fight Islamic extremism" on one hand and then winks at it (especially when it comes to the PA or Iran).

It looks like there are a few in Washington DC too. This woman will never get my vote if she runs for President. She apparantly has no idea what God thinks about forcing Israel to give up the land He gave them. Better batton down the hatches.
