hy is it important that we attack them now? Not saying that I don't think we should or should have already. But what is the reason?

The answer is simple, the memory of 911 is still fresh. I believe at this point the American public is in favor. The fact is, we will have to do it sooner or later and later is not a good option. This war has a battle plan and Afghanistan is just the warm up pitch. Those yelling that Bush has lost his focus are wrong, the focus being lost is by a world that now believes that peace between the Israelis and Palestinians will solve the problem in the Middle East. Bush is impatient as hell to do what he promised his country he would do but it is hard to keep that promise if his entire foreign policy is centered around two factions that cannot live on this earth together. One faction has to take the bull by the horns and wipe the other one out. It appears that the Israelis do not have the belly for it yet. I hope they don’t wait too long.

1. CRAWFORD, Texas, April 26 (AFP) - An impatient President George W. Bush on Friday told Israel to halt its incursions into Palestinian areas "now"
2. "(The) Israelis understand my position. I've been very clear and there has been some progress, but it's now time to quit it altogether; it's time to end this," Bush said, making his second such appeal in two days.
3. The comments came one day after Bush's talks with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, in which the two leaders discussed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its implications for US relations with Arab countries.
4. Bush spoke amid signs of a rift within his foreign policy team, as several State Department officials admitted privately they were demoralized by administration infighting over the Middle East.
5. Pressure from the White House meanwhile, prompted Congress to delay legislation which branded Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat a "terrorist" after Bush aides said it could hamper their peace efforts.
6. Bush first called for an end to the incursions, which Sharon's government says are targeting suicide bombers, on April 4, but later said he was satisfied with Israel's limited withdrawal.
7. The White House said Friday that Crown Prince Abdullah had presented Bush with an eight point list of Middle East peace objectives.
8. "There is a feeling that we are directionless, and that has created a lot of resentment and some anger," said one official, referring to a "generally gloomy mood" at the State Department as it battles the White House and Pentagon for control of Middle East policy.
