The media is making this look like Bush has super harsh criticism for Sharon, but that's not the case at all.

Reuters is reporting this as Bush demanding that Israel withdraw.

That is a blatant, though typical, mischaracterization by Reuters. It ignores 85% or more of Bush's statement, in which he issued a stinging indictment of Arafat and his cabal of terrorists.

You know what kills me, is the fact that EVERY news outlet that I read yesterday headed up this story with Bush demanding Israel pull out. Not a single one led off with his criticism of Arafat, which was extremely strong, or his "Get out" message to Syria, Iran & Iraq, which was just as strong, imo.

Anyone just reading the headline would assume the speech was directed against Israel. Unreal. Seems I am enraged on an hourly basis these days regarding the stifling anti-Israel position coming from all over the world.
