No, I like the guy. He needs to exorcize the State Department of all these Clinton era hangers-on. Including Powell.

I assume you are aware Bush called Islam a religion of prace, gave Ramaden dinners, and prayed at mosques. It isn't powell, deluded one. It's Bush. Wake up, even if you like the guy.

Yes, and when he did so from the Islamic Center of Washington, on 17 Sept. 2001, a whole cadre of Wahhabi extremists stood with him, severely undermining the President's efforts.

I believe President Bush meant well and didn't know he was sharing the television screen with a bunch of Saudi-backed, terrorist-supporting extremists (Wahhabis lobby).

I read that Grover Norquist was responsible for bringing Bush together with these self-appointed representatives of American Islam on that day. Old Grover is known for an incapacity to distinguish between the defense of extremism (totalitarianism and terrorism) and the normal Muslim activities, political and otherwise. In fact, in America, we mostly hear from the Wahhabis, extremists who claim their version of Islam is the only version.

"It's Bush. Wake up, even if you like the guy."

Touche' again!

Lesse', I read about twenty articles posted today castigating Bush's current Middle East doctrine, a lot by any standard.

Guess we'll see if it all starts impacting the Administration's public stance in the next few days.
