Terrorists murder Americans and he makes a big speech about all terrorists are our enemy. Our troops go to the other side of the world to hunt down the terrorists and invade a soveriegn nation because they harbor the terrorists.
Terrorists murder Israelis and he tells them to roll over and take it. The PLO is a terrorist organization. It is located in Israel -- not on the other side of the world. Israel is not invading anyone.
If Bush had even one iota of honesty in his make up, he couldn't ask Israel to do what he knows we would never do.
In his speech, he said that enemies of terrorism could expect our support, while friends of terrorism were our enemies. Israel has taken him at his word. The very least he could do is shut up and not aid the terrorist PLO.
You're hallucinating.
But just for giggles, do please quote any statement of Bush's from the past several weeks that you believe tells Israel to "roll over and take it". This ought to be amusing.
I think you underestimate what Bush has done. The EU was about to get involved, he preempted that.
He has done nothing to actually stop the Israelies. He knows that information is being gathered which will finish Arafat once and for all.
I noticed that Israel military activity has increased. I think Sharon gave Bush a time-line of what he needs and Bush said 'do it as fast as you can, I will buy you some time'
I think that is what is happening now.
I support Sharon in this fight, only because the PLO is nothing more than a proxy for the worldwide network of Islamic fundamentalist groups. A PLO victory would translate to a shot in the arm for the jihadis, and that's simply not what the world needs right now.
Having said that.. Israel's occupation of Palestine runs contrary to every principle of self-determination I've ever heard of.. that the PLO is a terrorist organization is no excuse for denying the Palestinian people their legitimate right of self-determination. Palestine is not in Israel.
