That especially and some other things were definitely encouraging. However, saying that the incursions must end now, was very discouraging, and hypocritical.

The speech was great. 80% of it pointed to the Pali, other Arab countries, and Iran and Syria's blame for supporting terrorism...but the only substantive action requested is for Israel to get out of the West Bank.

That didnt bother me due to the harsh pointing at the at-fault terrorists that dominated the speech.

But when I heard we were sponsoring another UN resolution demanding Israel leave without delay.........I could only think of the way I think of most politicians, "it's not what they say, it's what they do.

No it isn't! Bush wants the Arabs to take some responsibililty for this mess. If Israel pulls back, and the Arabs don't respond, then the whole world can see the real truth - the Arabs don't want peace. Now, you and I already know this, but the world doesn't - or at least it's pretending it doesn't. This was a brilliant move by the President - as usual.

He did NOT say that it had to end NOW. He said "he hoped they would begin"...

On another note, I am very curious to see how the meeting with Arafart and Zinni go today.
