I said I hope this is the plan. My scenario may be far-fetched, but it's not completely impossible. More machiavellian things have happened before.

Just highly improbable
and we have no Maggie Thatcher to tell him not to go wobbly on us.
Sickening
and Powell is smirking
waiting for 2004
He can swing both ways and run or be appointed.

and we have no Maggie Thatcher to tell him not to go wobbly on us.

Yeah, I do miss that woman.

[a_witness]

He can swing both ways and run or be appointed meaning he can run as a Democrook or Publican or be appointed to high office by either party without facing the electorate if the poll numbers look bad. Pathetic.

[OldFriend]

I keep telling myself the President is everyone's president, not just the conservatives.

I realize, too, he needs to appease the palestinians but it is rather unbearable to listen to him sounding like Powell. I'm ready to tune out.......everything is getting to be too much.

[Wphile]

I'm ready to tune out.

I hear ya, but we must not despair. Remember, we don't know half of what is really going on, particularly with sticky situations like the Middle East. Frankly, do we really want all out war there? I don't think so. I saw Brit Hume today and the panel all said that the Zinni trip and Bush's tough talk on Israel is all for show. His heart and policy are still with Israel. They all thought he would not negotiate with Arafat. keep the faith.

With your host Luis Gonzalez

This week’s guest:

Brothers to the Rescue founder, José Basulto

On February 24, 1996, three light aircraft left Miami on a routine flight. Their missions, to search the waters off the Florida Coast for rafters trying to reach the US shores, and bring them help by guiding the US Coast Guard to their location. That day in February, only one plane would return to its home base in Miami.

Tune in to Radio FreeRepublic this Thursday, March 14, at 9 PM EST, and listen to the actual sounds of a terrorist in action, murdering unarmed American citizens.

Sr. José Basulto, founder of Brothers to the Rescue and pilot of the surviving Cessna, will shed light on the events of that day, and detail how the Clinton administration withheld advanced knowledge of the attack from the humanitarian volunteer group, helping seal the fate of these four courageous flyers.

Radio FreeRepublic, fearless talk radio.

[Argus]

I don't think it's the Palestinians he's trying to appease, but the Gulf arabs, the Egyptians, and the Europeans, and the only reason he's doing it is because he needs them on board for the invasion of Iraq. I can't believe he sincerely thinks there's a moral equivalence between Israel and Arafat.

1-More Afghan syndrome

2-Rats hate war

3-This damn thing has just been too successful

• Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wisconsin
• Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle

  ," Feingold said in a statement.

  "While the consultative process and debate may demonstrate that it may be necessary to take military action to limit Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, it is also clear that the United States must act from a strong unified position," he said. "The Constitution and the American people demand as much

  Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle said Sunday there is still "strong bipartisan support" in Congress and "probably worldwide support" for deposing Hussein. But the South Dakota Democrat said until military operations in Afghanistan are complete, "I think it would be premature to consider any other action in Iraq."

  SO I JUST WONDER WHOSE LINING THEIR POCKETS FROM THE MIDDLEEAST TO KEEP US FROM WHACKING HUSSEIN?
