Look, maybe you would put people on the slaughter block so that your relatives could have speaking fees - but George Bush would never do that. He was raised better than that by George H and Barbara and you know it. He has never given the slightest indication he is the type man you describe. You are worse than the Democrats in trying to tear down his reputation and I for one do not in the least appreciate it.

You are insulting a man based on what you THINK he might do. No evidence, no facts - nil - just because world events happened. Just what in the world makes you think Bush controls anything in the Middle East?

  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.
