Bush talks about how the US must engage the enemy where it plans and operates before it reaches home, yet he doesn't allow Israel to do the same to the terrorists it faces (which hate the US as well). He talks about doing a series of precise strikes against terrorists and where they operate, yet the US administration criticizes Israel when it does the same He talks about raids on ammunition dumps and the killing of terrorists, yet he pressures Israel to negotiate with those very same terrorists He talks about the soldiers and that they will hunt down those terrorists who seek to kill them , yet he doesn't want the IDF to do the same, specifically to go get Yasser Arafat, a terrorist responsible for many IDF soldier deaths.
Yes, Yoni it is a double standard. One day soon I pray Israel says OK we do it OUR way have a nice day.You are either with US or against us.
President Bush gave a wonderful speech and I applaud him and thank G-D he is our President. There is no one else for this job in this time and place.But it also angers me that there is some kind of seperation in "their"Israels enemies and our enemies" good grief they are one and the same. All hating the book people, all wanting Christians and Jews dead.
Nuff said, but a big thank you Yoni.
