Boy, do you have a wrong number. As I said, clueless. I suggest you read my posts a little more carefully. If you have any reading comprehension at all, you would notice that I look beyond what illegitmate and anonymous spokespersons say, anything the State Department says, and watch very carefully how things go in every situational operation requiring a covert strategy. In my opinion, Bush is one of the very best at achieving exactly the right thing to do, and he has not disappointed me yet.

I trusted him when I voted for him. I trust him even more now. He will do the right thing regardless of the politics of french fried *friends* and weiner schnitzeled, heel clicking nutzis who stabbed us in the back.

Believe it.

Go read this and then tell me there was no plan

Sharon did all he could to mess it up, but it looks like the plan is unfolding. Who here didn't believe that the terrorists could resist?

[McGavin999]

Sorry, wasn't meant for you.

[Robert_Paulson2]

I also don't care for your blaming sharon.

[Robert_Paulson2]

I actually read it quite a while ago.
I hope you are right about this being a big secret plan.

we shall see.
if bush is still telling israel to go for it by a week from today... I will be surprised.
then again, we could see a window of opportunity for israel to take care of business, like they did on the west bank prior to our invasion of iraq... for what? six weeks or so.

then the "israel must pull out immediately" crap started.
perhaps they can do that NOW... in Gaza...
we shall see.

[McGavin999]

Well, I'm sorry you don't care for me blaming Sharon. I was one of his biggest boosters before this. Anyone who couldn't figure out what was being set up was blind. First Powell warns Syria about Hamas and Hizbollah and then Bush warned the Arab states about Hamas and Hizbollah. Do you really think they didn't bother to tell Sharon?

Your post no. 24 deserves a second printing:

Yeah, whatever. People like you are easily disgusted. I met a lot of people just like you who were disgusted during the run up to Afghanistan. All the whiners who believed we weren't doing anything just because they weren't bright enough to figure out that plans were being laid. I also met a lot of people just like you who were whining about Bush in the run up to Iraq, they were still whining when the sandstorms hit and everyone was saying there were no plans. Of course, three days later we took Baghdad.

So you whine all you want, and believe what the papers are saying, and believe Bush doesn't have a plan and believe that Bush is going to break his word. Make sure you end all your posts with "Bush is going to be a one term president" or "I'll never vote for him again". Then you'll look as silly as the others when you have egg all over your face.

Mc, you are right about a plan, but you are seeing it from the wrong end of the spectrum.

[McGavin999]

How?

[Nix 2]

Sharon did not mess it up. He facillitated it. They talked about it at Akaba.
He stalled with *dismantling the settlements,* waited for Wolf to take over, waited for Speciaal Ops people to get into position, and then struck as we struck Iraq and Afghanistan and began wreaking havoc on Iran.
The roadmap leads through Hamas to Hizbullah in Lebanon, and Syria can only spit into the wind.

The problem is that Israel's relations are treated within a university head incubation experiment. You cannot accept things like diversity of thoughts and university experimental ideas on a case like in Israel.

The Middle East is not a University, it is the real world. Wake up egg heads!

[JudgemAll]

Hardline is the only way. Assigning the Palestinians under Israel has never meant humiliating Palestinians, it has meant forgiving them. What is the world thinking?

THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY IS A TERRORIST ENTITY. IT WAS CREATED BY THE PLO AS A FRONTOFFICE FOR INTERNATIONAL "DIPLOMACY." THE PLO WAS CREATED IN 1964, 3 YEARS BEFORE THE "OCCUPATION" BEGAN. THE PLO WANTS ALL OF ISRAEL. IT WANTS TO DESTROY ISRAEL. THE PLO HARBORS, SUPPORTS, INCITES, AND FUNDS TERRORISM. WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE BUSH DOCTRINE AGAINST THESE GROUPS? FOR CRYING OUT LOUD THIS ORGANIZATION EVEN HAS OFFICES IN WASHINGTON DC!

[yonif]

also don't seem to realize that Israel is following the Bush doctrine to the nth degree.

Really? When did Bush negotiate with Al Queda before going after it in Afghanistan? Israel is currently required to negotiate with a terrorist organization, PLO, which the Bush administration does not see as terrorist.

[yonif]

do you feel the invasion of iraq was an anti-terrorism measure?

Yes.

[yonif]

Has anyone learned anything from watching this guy make fools of his enemies for the last 2 1/2 years?

I don't remember him negotiating with terrorists.

But have you heard the word "rejectionist" used before?

This term was used frequently in the 1970s to describe the extremist palestinian groups who utterly rejected the first Camp David agreements signed by Sadat and Begin. These organizations were called the "Rejectionist Front." It has not been in use more recently because of the belief that the only palestinians that mattered were those controlled by Arafat who had signed on to work with Israel in the Oslo Accords.

I see. Thanks!
