WASHINGTON - President Bush yesterday declared, "Enough is enough," and launched a major U.S. push for Mideast peace - calling on Israel to pull back and blasting Yasser Arafat in his toughest terms yet.

Boldly asserting America's role as the world's sole superpower, Bush also warned Iran and Syria to "stay out," and told Arab nations that they must do more to fight terror and embrace Israel's right to exist.

God's chosen people are in my thoughts and prayers on a daily basis. True peace be unto you and your countrymen.

Good luck to the the Israeli military. I say crush the Palestinian terrorists, Hamas, and Hizbollah (and the Iranian Guards in their ranks).

I apologize (for me, anyway) that the US govt has signed and sponsored the last 2 Resolutions in the UN. They are disgraceful.

DITTO!

Bump! for excellent analysis and a thought provoking post - as usual.

Bush is dispatching Powell to the Mideast next week

Anyone up for a Seven-Year Peace plan?

Right out of Revelations?

On the other hand, it might.

YASSER ARAFAT'S POLITICAL EPITAPH

[Victoria Delsoul]

"The situation in which [Arafat] finds himself today is largely of his own making," Bush said. "He's missed his opportunities and thereby betrayed the hopes of the people he's supposed to lead," the president added. "Given his failure, the Israeli government feels it must strike at terrorist networks that are killing its citizens."

Bump.

When the palestinian boy died in street fight, they howled like a bunch of orcs

And the boy (Mohammed Al Dura) was murdered deliberately by Muslims, not be Israeli soldiers.

It's good to hear from the front lines. We are keeping you in our prayers and praying for the peace of Jerusalem. We know that G-d intervened to give us our wonderful President Bush. We support our American soldiers, airmen and sailors, and the IDF. Stay safe.
