[Democrats are liars]

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.

   

    

   Where are your facts???? What do you base your opinions on???

The body of Mohammad Abu Kweik, 8, is lifted from the carnage after the Mitsubishi pick-up truck he was travelling in was bombed by Israeli forces in the West Bank Palestinian ghetto of Ramallah, March 4, 2002. Six Palestinian civilians, including the boy's mother, Bushra Kweik, 38, and two sisters, Bara, 14, and Aziza, 16, were killed when Israeli troops bombed their truck after their mother had picked them up from school. The car behind them was also hit. The man the Israelis were attempting to assassinate was not in either vehicle. Two Palestinian children, ages 4 and 16, were killed in the second vehicle.

If you like that sort of propaganda let's get with it. The IDF has murdered plenty of Palestinian children. Where's your concern for them?

You do not know the facts. The Bush team does and they are not talking. Your attempts to show pictures of the harmed Israelis does nothing to harm Bush. Bush has done everything he can to get this mess settled. I think you need to hate Arafat, the terrorists, and the real murderers here - Arafat and his regime.

How come you protect Arafat and the terrorists and try and cast the blame on Bush? Why not blame Sharon - he is doing exactly what he wants over there. Bush is merely trying to keep the Israelis from being the first to get hit with nuclear fire power that Saddam is putting together as fast as he can. They can't reach us but they can sure hit Israel.

I would think it would help Israel the most to have them quell this dispute for now, allow tempers to cool so that the Arabs will help us go after Saddam instead of joining with Saddam against us. Saddam is behind this mess because he doesn't want us coming after him. The more Israel drags this fighting out - the more he will have turned all the Arab nations to his side and will have the bombs ready.

Yet - none of this is actually going on in your mind. Bush is just trying to help his oil friends so that some rich oil friend will have more money. Phooey!

Bush is the best friend the Israelis have or ever will have because he is trying to get peace worked out and prevent them getting attacked from all sides.
