White House Blasts Hamas: "These people are nothing but thugs" (no wishy-washy mush this time)
Atlanta Journal Constitution ^ | AJC

Posted on 12/28/2008 7:05:03 AM PST by quesney

The Bush administration, meanwhile, spoke out forcefully for Israel.

“These people are nothing but thugs, so Israel is going to defend its people against terrorists like Hamas that indiscriminately kill their own people,” said Gordon Johndroe, a spokesman for the National Security Council. “They need to stop. We have said in the past that they have a choice to make. You can’t have one foot in politics and one foot in terror.”

Thank you President Bush. I hope Israel can finish the mission before 0bama takes office. 0bama will probably side with Hamas.

This may be the last unabashedly pro-Israel sentiment we hear from the White House in a very long time.

It’s sad that this type of unequivocal response has been missing the last few years of the Bush administration.

Arab foreign ministers said they would convene an emergency meeting in Cairo, Egypt, on Wednesday.

Let's see. Action began Saturday. Emergency meeting next Wednesday...why do I wonder if the Arab leaders are all that urgent about saving Hamas?

“We strongly condemn the repeated rocket and mortar attacks against Israel and hold Hamas responsible for breaking the cease-fire and for the renewal of violence there,” Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in a statement.

Hey Condi!

Did you ever hear of the Muslim "hudna"?

I’m confused..wasn’t the election of “the one” supposed to end all this stuff? weren’t we supposed to all stand around a campfire, holding hands and singing kumbaya?? weren’t all the problems of the world supposed to be solved with his election??

I'm still glad I voted for him twice.

It's a pity this Paulson fellow is feeding him crap economics and he is following it.

Wait till we get a few years of the messiah's reign. People will revise their view of Pres. Bush. And just who kept us from a terrorist attack for over seven years anyway? /s

“...“wait and monitor the developments” or in other words, he ain’t got a clue.”

That’s right, or he might use the dodge of the former Democrat California Governor, now Democrat Attorney General of California, and Democrat Governor again wannabe Jerry Brown for most every confrontational aspect of the position...”I’ll take that under advisement”, and then do nothing, but sit on his butt and take his paycheck and perks.

Don’t worry. In 3 weeks, the Messiah will bring Israel and Hamas to the table and instant peace will break out!
