Bush Middle East Speech Discussion Thread

[rabbitdog]

You're just upset because the supreme court banned your brother F. Lee Bailey.

[OldFriend]

You are incorrect in your assumption that this is not Mark Levin. He has a two hour radio show on WABC and this is typical of his comments on the radio. Bashing the President, ridiculing the President, and assuming that he is the know it all expert on every topic. Recently he was a military expert, this week he's an Israeli expert, who knows what expertise will appear next.

[EternalVigilance]

bump for a later read to see what you did to get everyone so worked up. lol.

He had the audacity to question their assumptions, and when they gave him the usual treatment anyone who disagrees with the President on anything gets around here these days, he gave them some of their own medicine.

Needless to say, they didn't like it.

He said it again "You are either with us, or against us" and I do suppose he was talking to Saudi Arabia, as well as the Arab States that are waiting to see which way the wind blows.

[Darlin']

What a calm, reasoned, intelligent and civil response. Thank you so much.

[habs4ever]

It's not possible you are who you say you are.If you are, then you are unprofessional to say the bare minimum.

Why don't you,being such a noted foreign policy star that even a Charles Krauthammer recognizes, pen this all on NRO in your next guest column? That way you'd get paid.

If you really are Mark Levin, or just someone pretending to be him....

[Howlin]

I'm really confused; I thought Israel wanted them to have their own state. Isn't that what they just said?????

[Nix 2]

Do you think my using the word "dope" is too generous?

When you screw up words, plainly spoken, and try to twist them into something they are not, calling me a dope sounds like a compliment coming from you.
Here are the words that are important. Israel has every right to defend itself. Or in your secret decodings, do you not know what that means?

[holdonnow]

I think this is a fascinating point. It's certainly logical.

[OldFriend]

Now you are going to get mark all upset.......he knows what's best for Israel and expects them to follow his advice.

[habs4ever]

WHO??? ;-)

You???...

[Amelia]

You don't like the taste of your own medicine, that's clear.

What was someone saying about pots & kettles?

BTW, Rush and Hannity are big boys...and public figures (wow, like the President!)

Their opinions and proclamations are subject to debate and criticism, and I don't think they need you to defend them.

[cmsgop]

Are You Mark Levin or not Sport ?

[Howlin]

I guess there's really no need to watch Keyes' show tonight now, is there? I imagine it's more of the same. :-)

[MJY1288]

Why havn't the moderators pulled the plug on this psycho?

[E Rocc]

try an ARAB nation.

That's not what you asked, but we'll start with Morocco and Lebanon.

Next revision?

[marajade]

Are you saying Bush supports terrorism?

[Texasforever]

Oldfriend and Texasforever have been ganging up on people who dare to disagree with them, and tonight I chose to respond. And by the emails I'm receiving, I'm not alone.

If you think what I have been doing is ganging up on you don't know me very well. I can certainly take the gloves off if you wish but I don't think you can take the pressure.

Because he basically put his entire foreign policy reputation on the line with this policy speech. He is heading into a G-8 summit with this in his pocket, and will basically say, this is the way it's going to be. But I do believe that this isn't just his idea. I firmly believe that he spoke with moderate Arab states ahead of time as well as Great Britain and Russia to let them know what was coming. If they had an objection, they had a week to let him know.

M'am, I respectfully disagree with you. I don't believe President Bush has put his entire foreign policy reputation on the line. I do believe he has however, made a tactical error. My reply in #535 of this thread outlines, more or less, my opinion of this most recent position announcement. Additionally, (I'm sorry I can't state this less stridently), I can only paraphrase the good words of another Freeper, 'moderate islam is the Trojan Horse in which Radical islam hides within.'

I don't believe this is capitulation anyhow. This is Israel's war. We are simply playing the role of 'trusted advisor' to Israel- just as they did to us after 9-11.

M'am, I'm sorry. But again, I have to disagree because I'm of the opinion that be even acknowledging the demand to negotiate with barbarians who use terrorism as a bargaining chip to initiate negotiations, that is in fact, capitulation.

I will go on record (as I have before about the Mideast situation) that if Bush backtracks, it will be the third thing I have vehemently disagreed with him about. But I don't think that will happen.

M'am,
I believe you've been honest in your reply to me, and I respect and appreciate that.
I *hope* you are correct in your conclusion and that I am wrong. I *fear* I am sadly correct, though and a tactical error now is not good.
Respectfully,
Pyx

[holdonnow]

Hey buddy! Hey tough guy! Is this reall cmsgop! Is this really another RNC mind-numb robot? You Rush-bashers don't like it when someone responds in kind. Too bad.
