He knows damn well what scum Arafat is - which is why he isn't going to be directly involved. Besides he's not fool enough to repeat the Clinton error in all this.

But I understand why you are licking your chops in hopes that he will "pay for it big-time." Since you are so sure he will fail and go down to defeat, you should be cheering him on.

Tell you what Annie, you continue to think I'm just out to get Bush and ignore what I'm trying to tell you. Right on this thread is a post that mentions that certain members of the press are already casting Bush as having no middle-east strategy with regard to Israel. Close your eyes, ignore the whole thing, label me any way you like. In post six I tried to lay out what could happen if Bush doesn't wake up. It certainly doesn't benefit me. I would think it would be food for thought. Nope, you're in denial as well. Well okay, let's just watch it play out. Good luck.

Do you relize that Bush IS using the exact Clinton strategy used over the last eight years? He is trying to deal with Arasplat and refusing to call him a terrorist. Then he's refusing to admit that Israel must use military force against the Palestinians.

Sure he makes some pro-force comments. Then he neuters their meaning by demanding Israel show restraint and pull out prematurely.

This is pure folley.
