'What do you make of Bush's speech? Cave-in? Or prelude to something bigger?"

Prelude to something bigger. I think that President Bush asks Israel to back up a bit to give Ararat enough rope to hang himself. When Israel finally pulls out the bombing murders (what's left of them) will start at it again. Then Israel will have our blessing to do what they have to do and we can take out saddam with minimal fussing from the arabs.

This was the question flashed at me by an American blogger within seconds of the President concluding his address on Thursday.

What's a blogger?

A blogger usually offers a series of random, thought provoking queries or observations known as "bloggings". A very old English term.

Isn't is funny (and sad) that a Canadian "gets it" about President Bush and his plans while the American pundits don't have a clue - and that includes some on FoxNews (and FR). Bush has shown he's been a step ahead of EVERYONE every time - both here and abroad. Just because he doesn't reveal his plans (a la Clintoooon - if he ever had any plans) doesn't mean he doesn't know what he's doing.

IMHO Arafat was as good as gone as soon as Bush moved into the WH, but the moves will be made on Bush's time - not the EU, the whiners or even Arafat.

What's a blogger? I'm shocked! You haven't gone blogging? It's perhaps the most entertaining and exciting activity to be found on the Web.

Weblogs, or blogs, are Web sites where individuals post links to interesting news stories and to other blogs, and where they discuss their views on the issues of the day. Sound familiar? Uh-huh. Blogs are not unlike what we do at Freep, only more individualized. And the best of them are a delight to read.

For an introduction to blogging, go to www.blogger.com. Among the best blogs are www.instapundit.com and www.andrewsullivan.com. There are plenty more. Enjoy!

A blogger is a site that is a web log (get it? weblog = blog = blogger). A blogger comments on the news of the day. People write them a lot.

Here's The Wizard's http://www.denbeste.nu

Here's one belonging to a chemist http://www.dlowe.blogspot.com

The National Review Online has a blogspot called The Corner, and the Opinion Journal has one called The Best Of The Web.

All blog spots usually list tons of other blog spots, so it's easy to find a lot of them once you go to one. They're really neat.
