I'm sick of hearing Bush/Rice were 'the biggest losers" in the U.N. ceasefire deal. If the GOP had an effective PR machine, the losers would be John Kerry, Howard Dean, the MSM and every liberal who has endlessly demanded a multilateral, peace-at-all-costs approach to the war on terror. While I agree with you from 30,000 feet I disagree with you at ground level. John Kerry and Howard Dean are not in charge of the United States and it's foreign policy, thank God. President Bush and Sec. Rice are in charge. They agreed to this screwball deal, a deal that is turning out exactly as predicted. Heck, this wasn't even a prediction, it was more common sense it would turn out this way. You say: "The U.N. and France proved beyond doubt that their "word" is worthless." I agree with you 100%, then squared. If you are claiming that the President was swayed by the liberal, UN, French thinking pantywaists of the world into accepting this deal, who's fault is that? A President can't accept a dumb deal that puts Israel at risk in the short run and puts civilization in the balance in the long run just so you can later blow raspberries at the left and say "na, na, na, na, na ... told you so!" |
NO, I'm not claiming Bush was swayed by their argument.
I'm pointing out the hypocracy of those who've demanded just such a route for so many years. Then---when Bush trys it their way and the result is exactly what conservatives predicted--- they blame Bush.
It should be self evident to them that the U.N. route will always be a loser....it occurs to one that may be why they like it so much.
