Israel should reply: "Just as soon as the crooks come out of the Church of the Nativity, we'll be happy to withdraw".OK, Yassir, your turn.

"There is a feeling that we are directionless, and that has created a lot of resentment and some anger," said one official, referring to a "generally gloomy mood" at the State Department as it battles the White House and Pentagon for control of Middle East policy.

God, I love the smell of insubordination in the morning!

GW's strategy: Say something different everyday. Whenever pressure is applied, coalesce, then when criticized, say something else. But by all means, DO NOT be consistent!! That way one stays unpredictable!! No one ever really knows which end is up so all parties end up going crazy! Yeah, that's the ticket!!

Bush did not sound all that firm when he asked Israel to withdraw.

[NYC GOP Chick]

He shouldn't have said it at all, and I hope that privately, Sharon tells him to shove it up his clymer.

Actually, the correct title says "now." Not "NOW". Sounds like you are more 'impatient' than he is. LOL...

Sounds to me like you need something, more rewarding, to do that to the 'capitalization', letter by letter, of posted articles... LOL!!!

[RCW2001]

BTW...you missed the one where I spelled Abdullah wrong in "another" thread. :) Shame, shame...

The pursuit of truth is one sort of rewarding venture. :)

If you change the emphasis of a word in a posted article without telling us you did so, then you are presenting the article under false pretences. We think we are getting this article as it appeared in the press; actually we are getting it as spun by RCW.

You anti Semites really like what the French have to say about world affairs.

[veronica]

I am not an expert on the spelling of Arab names. Don't much care about that.

More crud from the French and the Jew obsessed and Israel obsessed RCW2001

[RCW2001]

I provided a workable link and left the original 'searchable' character string of the title intact.

BooHoo....so just 'how were you harmed by this?? A couple more readers to an article of perhaps something you don't want somebody to read?

Forum rules, if I remember correctly states to 'use the original title'...well this IS the original title.

Did it 'really' influence you THAT much...??

[RCW2001]

God, I love the smell of insubordination in the morning!

Bump...I am beginning to believe that GWB is just about fed up with the 'insubordination' and could care less if he is a 2 term President. He will do what he think is right...and to hell with polls and paid shills.

I grow more confident with his leadership everyday, as of late.

Me too. :) And of his being reelected. What with all the Jews turning right and joining the GOP. :) They notice he's doing such a great job fighting terroism, he has supported Israel doing the same, and of course he refuses to meet with Arafat, refusing to give in to the 'paid shills', and various Middle East 'Princes.'

[veronica]

PS - If you do not think he wants a second term you are smoking something. All Presidents want a second term, but GW in particular I believe. The final avenging by the son for the loss the father suffered. The loss that put the Arkansas Hillbillies in the WH.

I like Bush's leadership also but wish he would stop trying to appease the arabs.

If you are suggesting that when you post an article, FReepers should use links to see what the article really says, then it sound a great deal as though you are admitting that you do doctor the articles you post.

In this instance, you did not, in fact, post with the original title; you altered the emphasis in the title to give the impression that the President was angry at Israel. This particular instance is not a big deal, but the principle involved is a big principle. If you want to make a point or interpret an article, do the work of writing an accompanying post, maybe actually offer an argument, don't fiddle with the article.

Doing something wrong and then saying "Boo hoo" when someone calls you on it is a very junior-high kind of bluff. Most FReepers, I suspect, have already done junior high and are not likely to find it clever.
