You are out of your head.

And that's all I am going to say about it except to say that to use rhetoric that far from reality puts you in the same camp as the people who talk like Bush is Hitler all over again.

Not an honest place to be.

You prove what you are saying...I want a SOURCE to back up your assertions.

Reagan was not as strong as Bush is.

I was responding to the comment that Bush sold out Israel. It reminded me of when Neville said that their will be peace in our time just before World War II. Whether Bush did this I don't know.

I figured they'd be spouting that nonsense. The left is so blinded by their hatred of President Bush that they can't see truth right before their eyes. I believe that if another terrorist attack occurred here and killed thousands of people, they would believe that Bush/Cheney/Rove/Rummy manufactured it. To be so blinded by a hatred that strong is truly dangerous for the rest of us.

Decisions are always made by politicians. We elect them to do just that. When they do what we want, we call them heros and statesmen. When they do what we don't want, we have worse names. Sometimes, they are very, very good, and sometimes, weaklings. Olmert, in my opinion, was not the man for the job this time. He's too PC.

PC awareness, more than anything else, will be the stroke that leads to the West's dimuition, unless the politicians start saying, I don't care about PC.

What's with the drive-by Bush-bashing posters this afternoon? Somebody turn over some rocks? Sounds like the DUmmies are losing it over this terror issue...seeing the November take-over by the dems dissolving?

They are not the only ones in Israel. They have their PC kook wings, too.

Wish this had happened before Sharon got sick.

Livni Won't Speak at U.N.
00:31 Aug 11, '06 / 17 Av 5766

(IsraelNN.com) Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni late Thursday night squelched speculation that she might address the United Nations Security Council in New York. The Council is expected to meet Friday or Saturday to discuss a revised draft for a cease fire resolution.

Israel has not formally commented on the proposal, which calls for a gradual IDF withdrawal simultaneous with the arrival of an international peacekeeping force. The government has insisted that Hizbullah terrorists release two IDF soldiers they kidnapped a month ago

There may not be a coup, but I'm sure a mutiny may be damn near afoot and it may start if Olmert refuses to resign. I wouldn't past the possibility of events that Olmert is being handed resignation papers or "commitment". He is dangerous.

This is what I mean - and this happening with a hot war going:

Hundreds of left-wing activists protest in TA
By JPOST.COM STAFF


Hundreds of left-wing activists protested the current offensive in Lebanon outside the Kirya in Tel Aviv on Thursday evening.

"We need to stabilize and speak out against the war before we expand the decision and create a catastrophe," said Meretz MK Zahava Gal-on.

If they didin't claim President Bush and Karl Rove "manufactured it, they would say his policies caused it.

A no-win situation, IMO.

I'm sure many, many Israelis are angry with Olmert about now. Here's an article that talks about how the IDF feels. They were denied victory and aren't happy about it one bit.
