I have heard all the arguments on Israel ad infinitum. Since I am not privy to intelligence or strategic information, I am going to trust that Bush is doing what is best for the AMERICAN people, and in Israel's long term interest. We elected an honorable man who has a good security team. It would make no sense for them to conduct policy on the fly and desert a long-time ally. I am waiting to see what happens, and in my opinion Rush is not contributing to understanding what is going on.
1) No rose garden ceremony, takes the issue away from Rhino Mccain(inlcuding his leftist friends) and makes him look stupid
2) Upped the limit to 2000. Good for Bush and the repubs.
3) Diminishing money to the parties. Bad part here. But this may be challenged in court
Bush does things almost DAILY that advance liberalism and set back conservativism. Rush is a commentator. It is too bad you don't appreciate that he is doing his job.
1. The Afghanistan situation would be much more stable and the needed 10,000 troops would have taken on Al Queta instead of leaving most of the fighting to the Northern Alliance.
2. Al Queta sanctuaries in Pakistan would have been hit by USAF daisy cutters, leaving the terrorists no place to run.
3. Sharon would be mopping up the West Bank; and a joint Israeli-American commando unit would be erasing all forms of Hammas and Islamic Jihad.
4. Saddam Hussein would be dead and Osamma Bin Laden would be awaiting trial and eventual execution on Gitmo.
In the final analysis, I also trust Bush and will give him the benefit of the doubt. Rush is making a mistake by disagreeing with Bush every day as if nothing else is going on in the country. If Rush wants to point out his disagreements, he could do so without being repetitive and boring.
