No, the only one slinging BS around here is you.
Bush made an appropriate, political statement as all leaders do, and must.
It's so easy for armchair generals like you to call BS on this, and WOT my a** on that, when it's quite clear that the WOT has been and continues to be a success--unless you have a suicide bombing in your neighborhood to report. Those who toss the hot rhetioric--which is all you've done in two posts--sit comfortably while our President and the soldiers under him are the targets of backstabbing Dems, and unfair media, and real violence.
Bush has delivered, not always perfectly (who has?), and you can sit there and bitch and whine, but I don't see YOU having the #1 most important job on the planet Earth--you're sitting behind a keyboard bitching. All Bush is doign is trying to keep the freakin planet from tumbling into chaos. Now granted, that's not nearly as difficult as typing "BS", but when you "send a message in November, the Dems will show us how it's REALLY done. Too bad, though, that your dream President (whoever that might be) can only exist in your head.
This statement doesn't thrill me coming from the President, but he and Israel both know that, like your silly bluster, it is mere rhetoric. Now you go do something that's as important as what he's doing--like coming up with so-witty taglines--while he makes sure your ungrateful, bitching butt doesn't get blown off.
Man, am I sick of the disloyal whineasses around here.
Israel is at war.
Friends and allies don't ask a friend at war, while it's cities are being bombed, to show restraint.
And certainly not while miles away fighting a similar enemy.
If any Nation dared say that to the US we would consider them hostile to us. Certainly not a friend.

Wow. Great post.
I am fairly certain that many people do not realize that the President has got to say these kinds of mealy-motuhed diplomatic things with his "public face" but that his "private face", on the phone to Olmert, is likely saying something completely different, like, "You do whatever you feel that you need to do; we're behind you."
I hate it, too, but I at least understand it.
