Bush condemns Israeli gunship attack

The cartoon says it all. Bush has to carefully stomp on Islamic roaches - some Afghan and Iraqi ones can be terminated, but Pali-roaches used by surrounding Arab-psychos (who could care less about them but love the their usefulness) must be dealt with oh-so carefully. Bush's political capital vis-a-vis our economy isn't real terrific. He's gotta suck Pali-butt. And Saudi butt. It's the way of the oil - I mean, the world. But then, if it wasn't necessary for some reason to kiss environ-whacko butt as well, we could be drilling for and using our own blasted oil and tell 'em all to go get - well, nevermind.

I despise that Israel gets 'chastened' AFTER the latest Pali-roach terrorist attack - for fighting back. This kind of thing just outrages me. Maybe it galls Bush, too?

I want to stand by the man but his nosing about in the ever-elusive 'Middle-East peace' snafu is so blasted stupid. There's no solution. Period. Except the unacceptable ones. Why did he even have to GO there?

After 9/11, and the 'homicide' bombers all over the danged place - I say kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out. I'm SICK of them. I'm sick of seeing their names on the nightly news associated with the lastest murders or bombings. I'm sick of thier silence while a few twits come on the talking heads shows to make meek claims they 'want peace' blah blah blah. I'm sick of them being given a forum on shows like O'Reilly and Hannity and Colmes to try and drum up sympathy and prove the Israelis are to blame for all their problems.

The arabs, who develop nothing but terror, who don't build businesses or schools, who use families to raise suicide bombers, who treat women like sh*t and sit in the sand all over their poverty-ridden sand dunes and whine, none of whom has the guts to blame their own leaders for their ongoing nightmare - have lost my sympathy altogether.

"I guess Bush doesn't see eye to eye with what Cheney said May 31 2003: "With such an enemy, no peace treaty is possible, no policy of containment or deterrent will prove effective -- the only way to deal with this threat is to destroy it completely and utterly, and President Bush is absolutely determined to do just that." ~ yonif

I think you're "misunderestimating" WGB.

The Bush Doctrine is marching on. No one in the mid-east will permitted to derail it. NO ONE.

We are draining the swamp. We have laid down the law to Syria as to what they need to do.

We are giving them time to get it done.

We are giving them time to get it done.

We are giving them time to get it done.

I will guarantee you that behind the scenes, the pressure on them to perform is brutal.

I'm sure it is quite clear to them that if they don't move fast enough, we will do it for them because of the President's political enemies daily clamoring with the mantra, "where are the WMD?".

We are positioned nicely right in the middle --- between all the major players in the middle east who have been housing, funding and otherwise supporting terrorists; Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, et.al.

We are going to be there for a LONG time. And we will protect Israel.

WE ---- will protect Israel. We are the elephant in the middle of the room.

Note this excerpt that shows *Bush's plans for Hamas* and the rest of the terrorists and their supporters:

"... Powell acknowledged Assad's lies: "He did mislead me once before. If he chooses not to respond, if he chooses to dissemble, if he chooses to find excuses, then he will find that he is on the wrong side of history. He will find that he will not have better relations with the United States, and he can take his choice. Does he want to have good relations with the United States, or does he want to have good relations with Hamas? His choice."

".... administration officials point to the sobering presence of 150,000 U.S. troops just across the border in Iraq as an inducement to get Assad to change his ways.

But if he does not, the United States has a well-developed target list. It begins with the obvious: the terrorist training camps in Lebanon's Bekáa Valley run by radical Palestinian groups, Hezbollah and al-Qaeda.

Some of these camps have been used to stage cross-border attacks into Israel.

Others have been used as halfway houses for terrorists on the run from their former bases in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Located in farmhouses surrounded by lush hashish fields, most will make easy targets for U.S. warplanes based in western Iraq or flying off U.S. aircraft carriers.

Next come the terrorist offices in Damascus itself.

U.S. and Israeli intelligence officials say these offices are not just media centers but operations bases used to funnel funds and weapons to terrorists on the ground inside Israel and elsewhere.

Iranian-backed terrorists are believed to have used Syria as a staging area for the attack on the Khobar barracks in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, in 1996 in which 19 U.S. servicemen were killed.

On quiet days, terror "spokesmen" creep out from under the rocks to deliver soliloquies to the press. But when they come under scrutiny for their involvement in terrorist operations, spokesmen of Hamas, PIJ and Hezbollah regularly go to ground, as this reporter found during a trip to Damascus in the 1990s.

Syria's network of weapons plants and dual-use chemical, pharmaceutical and industrial facilities provides another series of targets for U.S. war planners, should they choose to use force against Assad. .........".

Sharon the butcher does not want peace.

A butcher eh? This is Arab propaganda

He provoked the Intifada and he blocks any chance at peace.

Nope. Wrong again. Sharon's visit to the mount was nothing as the intifada was already planned, and there is documented evidence of this

Sorry to rain on your parade, but Israel is broke and losing ground. It is good to have Bush let the Likudnik gangster terrormongers know they don't have carte blanche.

The roadmap makes Israel lose ground? Its funny you say the Likud are gansters, cause after all they signed a peace agreement with Egypt and returned SINAI to Egypt

Sharon may be about to find out that he has smooched the poch in assuming he could take Bush for granted.

So your saying Sharon should not trust Bush for opposing terrorism in all forms?

If Aeriel keeps this provocation up , he is going to wind up having to explain why the US is walking away and letting the vicious chihuhahua of Isarel by itself face the big neighbor dogs it has provoked needlessly.

Sure. Israel is provoking these terrorists. You know how? Just by being on the map!

From their quite justifiable point of view IT IS ISRAEL WHO STARTED THEN TERRORIST COURSE WELL OVER A HALF CENTUTY AGO. If you would excuse the Irgun terror against the Brit military, you must excuse the Hamas actions against the IDF.

Hamas actions against the IDF? Most of their actions are against civilians, and that is who they target. When IDF soldiers are killed by them, it is usually when they are on the way to kill civilians and are spotted. The Irgun cannot be compared to Hamas, as they targeted military and did not use civilians as human shields, among other things.

And, as long as they make sure there are no civillians at the time, there is nothing wrong with Hamas, Al Aqsa, IJ, etc, blowing up those stupid unnecessary poozza and ice cream 'parlors! It was a nice peacful part of the world till the Izzis crowded it up and put in all that tacky junk.

Sure. Spew some more propaganda. I guess you are saying the "Izzis" are Jews, so your saying without Jews a lot of the world's problems would have disappeared?

Sharon does not want peace. Israel needs to pull back from all of its illegal settlements in accordance with the treaty signed by Israel, yes signed by Israel.

Sharon does not want peace? Then what does he want? More Israelis to die? You claim these so-called settlements are the problem. Let me give you a history lesson. TERRORISM against Israel started in 1948. Israel began these "settlements" in 1967. The terrorists view Israel as one big "settlement"

A Palestinain state must be established.

Already has. Jordan.

After this takes place the Palestinian government must police their own. That means arresting terrorists and punish them with either a prison term or death depending upon the crime.

They cannot as they are terrorists themselves. We have Oslo (1993-2003) to prove that.

If the Palestinian government fails to uphold the law then we go in and replace it with one that will.

Already has. We do not need more deaths.

[yonif]

That cannot be allowed. Palestinian militants and Israeli militants must be policed by their own. If Palestine will not police its own militants, it lacks the moxie to be a State. If Israel wants to police the Palestinian militants, it should adopt a lower profile in its tactical engagements.

Israeli "militants"?

[yonif]

Why kiss the PAs butt?

Tony Blair and the Arab World.

[cardinal4]

What a tangled web we weave when we try to kiss too many asses.

My vote for quote of the day!

[amused]

What a tangled web we weave when we try to kiss too many asses.

Vicious...low brow...and hilariously on target

[RightWhale]

The shoe fits pretty well, and it isn't Cinderella's glass slipper.

Bush is REALLY screwing the pooch in his handling of Israel and the terrorists in or near Israel. Disgusting.

[DarthVader]

So who are you going to trust. Joe Lieberghoul, Dickie Gebhardt, Howard Dimwit or Lurch Kerry. Spare me the garbage.

[yonif]

I do not believe those who say this is just a whole plan, and this is not what is going to happen.

1. Bush supports the establishment of a PLO state

2. CIA is already training PLO terrorists to fight....terrorism and giving them weapons

3. Money is being sent to the PA (which has Fatah terrorists on its payroll)

4. Against his doctrine of war against terrorism. Am I incorrect to ask sense when does a free-nation negotiate with terrorists, which is clearly what Bush is telling Israel to do? Did he negotiate with the Tabliban? Did he tell them to get a new leader? Did he invite him to some summit? No.

[adam_az]

Yuri, I don't know what to say other than that you have bought hook, line, and sinker into a pack of lies. Reality is about 180 degrees from where you are pointing now.

You sound just like a froth-mouthed, revisionist, marxist "peace" protestor.

If an attack against the IDF is "reasonably fair game," then isn't an attack against the guy who sent the terrorists to kill also "reasonably fair game?"

[yonif]

So who are you going to trust. Joe Lieberghoul, Dickie Gebhardt, Howard Dimwit or Lurch Kerry. Spare me the garbage.

How about voting "blank"?

[Centurion2000]

President Bush has criticised an Israeli assassination attempt on a senior member of the Palestinian militant group Hamas.

Mark my words, watch for another outbreak of freaky/damaging weather or an earthquake soon.

[DarthVader]

"How about voting "blank"? "

Not a viable alternative either. Get over it.

[ApesForEvolution]

"The president is concerned that the strike will undermine efforts by Palestinian authorities and others to bring an end to terrorist attacks and does not contribute to the security of Israel," White House spokesman Ari Fleischer told reporters.

This following the Arab Terrorist Triad, Inc.'s murder of several Israelis within hours of the 'summit' in the ME. Way to go Bush and Powell.
