Worried about 'Roadmap to Peace' plan? Or about the lack of evidence of WMDs?

Some are worried about Bush's 'Roadmap to Peace' plan. Such a plan would make a Palestinian state in Israel's God-given land. Also, many are starting to criticize the Bush administration about lack of WMDs. However, you'd have to think about this from another angle...

It's obvious that if the 'Roadmap to Peace' plan goes through, it might signal the endtimes (to be honest, I'm a little frightened about the possibility of it beginning so soon.).

However, think about it like this. Perhaps Bush is attempting to do this to prove that Palestinians and Arabs are not truly interested in peace.

If this were to occur, the noose on Israel (by 'noose', I'm referring to the fact they are continually forced to cope peacefully with Palestinian terrorists.) might be removed. We can only hope.

As for the WMDs, I think Bush is WILLINGLY holding back evidence he's already gathered. Why?

Well, think about it. 2004, the year of the presidential election, is coming soon.

If Bush were to unleash all the evidence he's gathered in one bombshell RIGHT before the election, it would completely cripple the Democrats who've been criticizing Bush.

It might be just me, but it never hurts to think about it like that.

Opinions? Thoughts?

One can hope... on both accounts.

LOL, like you can convince liberals that. Liberals blame the US for terroists attacks by Arabs on the WTC. No matter what Arab terrorists do and how Arabs instill hatred for the west in their government schools, Liberals will not see the evil that exists.

I too think Bush will reveal the evidence of WMD, but I think it will be shorty before the SOTU address. Presenting it any earlier would prompt the question "Why now". Any later would be politicizing it. By presenting it before the SOTU address, it makes good talking points in the speech, and creates nice press buzz beforehand.

I think we've found what were looking for, and we've found it relatively recently. That's the real reason why were opening up to letting UN troops in. We were there to find the weapons, and we've done that. Now, we'll let the UN in...

If they had solid evidence of WMD, we'd know about it.

Yes, you're most likely right.

However, if Bush proves it, at least liberals won't have a convincing argument anymore. ;-)

The wishful thinking is akin to the hopes that the "second volume" of the Starr Report would be released.

It is wishful thinking. I thought we'd have a big A-HA moment by now. But then, I thought we'd get Osama. True, Osama MAY be dead, but I didn't want to hear Osama dead. I wanted to SEE Osama dead. Besides, how would it look if the Administration appeared to manipulate the outcome of the war for partisan gain? Suppose he drags out some aluminum tubes and Osama's corpse in October 04. Wouldnt that look just a bit irresponsible?

How's Christianity a Jewish religion if they turned their backs on their own God and He became ours? I'm not saying that. I'm saying that God GAVE that land to the Israelites, and no one has the right to give it away to others, except God Himself, should He see it fit to do so.

David Kay is scheduled to present a WMD report in mid-September of this year.

Interesting, but actually there are Messianic Jews who
are Christians. There are also many end times prophecies
that speak to a mass conversion of the Jews.

No reason to be frightened. And no reason to worry about whether its coming sooner than later.

Well that's good to hear.

You have valid points, but wishful thinking is still wishful thinking. After all, I'm still transitioning between childhood and adulthood. Am I not allowed to still think wishfully? ;-)

The only way the Roadmap to Peace will succeed, is that Israel must declare war on the Palestinians and be permitted to win it. Only after the Palestinians lose (and not given a homeland...) can they be at peace in Israel (as part of the society) or Jordan (as losers).

The sooner the U.S. loosens the noose on Israel, the sooner Israel can go ahead win the war, and finally go on with actual living.

As far as the WMD's go, we have already found them...lots of them. But to convince liberals that we have found the WMD's requires us stack them up 100 foot high over a square mile area...of course some of the wackier liberals will think we planted them.

I know I shouldn't, but I want to grow up, get a wife, have children and teach them the ways of Christ.

Right next to election wouldn't give any time for the information to be questioned/verified. I would see it as self serving. If there is evidence present it. The American people deserve better than such political games.

we have the evidence, and we even have seen evidence linking Saddam to terrorist
but unless you dig for it you won't see it all
until The President decides to release it
they are gathering it up right now
and later this fall for an Oct surprise will be coming out
