"Why don't the Palestinians get their strips of land from Syria, Iraq, Lebanon or Iran."

'Cause there ain't no Jews to butcher and run into the sea there!

You keep lobbin' softballs, and I'll keep parkin' them! :-)

Sharon said at the start of the cabinet meeting that the offensive could not be hurried because Israel was trying to avoid Palestinian civilian casualties.

Mr Bush is turning out to be a delightfully droll buggar -- and has said to all who will hear:

"Believe what I do, not what I say! "

[Brian Allen]

..... try selling them to Katie Couric, Phil Donahue and Sen Joe Biden.

"Selling?"

To that gang of looter bastards?

Not one of whom has ever in his life used his own money to buy even a sandwich?

[Although rumor does have it that KKKouric once parted with Thirty Bucks for a second-hand dildo. Last week]

I would like to understand why our good friend President Bush can claim UNLIMITED time to hunt down Osama Bin Laden and crush Al Qaeda and America won't withdraw without delay from Afghanistan, which is after all not with sight of New York, while on the other hand Israel has only a WEEK all of a sudden to deal with Yasser Arafat and crush the PLO and Israel is expected withdraw from places that are just over the border? Can someone explain to me the difference in the conduct of the war on terrorism? Color me confused. :)

Hopefully, Powell will go to Singapore and Australia to discuss the Mideast situation with those allies, and make courtesy visits to Japan, Honduras, and Upper Volta for consultations before finding his way to Tel Aviv.

Bush looks weak as usual. He should have stuck to his original policy, let Israel fight terror and evil. Sharon flipped him (us) the finger and he should have known that would happen and avoided it.

[JAWs]

Israel is the smallest country around there.

I thought it was Lebanon.

I wonder how Bush would react if several million of our illegal aliens decided to form a new state using violence if necessary. Wait a minute we already know the answer to that. He would support them.
