Bush's Message to Syria
www. Foxnews.com ^ | Friday, March 04, 2005 | John Gibson

It's kind of amusing to see President Bush encouraging Arab tyrants to let their people vote. After all the screeching about the Iraq war, it seems to have a certain persuasive power many people thought it would never have. Remember when people said America's arrogance and unilateralism had robbed the United States of its power to influence? Hmmm — where are those people today? Have you noticed George Bush exercising diplomatic skill and power the last couple days? He didn't invade Syria (search), he didn't bomb Syria and he didn't send Black Ops teams into Syria to have people killed. He said one word — "now." As in get out of Lebanon (search) — now. See old Bashir Assad (search) hopping to it? He scheduled a parliament speech on Saturday and he's expected to announce Syria is pulling its troops and its secret agents out of Lebanon — uh, soon — uh, not a partial pullout — uh, soon — uh, OK, now. "Now," says Bush — and they're gone. Democracy now says Bush and Saudi Arabia says, oops, we decided to let women vote — and Egypt says, oops, we decided to let political parties actually run people for office. Condi Rice is over at the State Department letting money flow to Iranian dissidents to do the work dissidents do that will send the mullahs packing. Now. As somebody said to me today — what did you expect Bashir Assad to do? You think he wants to find himself getting pulled out of a spider hole? Now — it's such a simple concept. Syria, we want you to get out of Lebanon and so do the Lebanese people. Well, says Syria, we might pull people out a bit at a time. Now, says Bush.

You know, I always had Gibson pegged as a flaming lib, until he moved over to Fox and let his hair down. And he's right - when Bush says 'now', he means now. And the savages know it.

It kind of makes me think back to the election cycle.

Bush will tell you what he wants, and what will happen if it doesn't come to pass, then follow through on his words.

If he says "Syria, you need to withdraw your people from Lebenon, now", he MEANS NOW.

It's amazing what someone who will do what he says he will can accomplish.

Thanks for posting this and saving me a trip to Fox. I heard Gibson say this Fri., but I wanted to read it. Gibson is my favorite anchor at Fox, and "My Word," Gibson's commentary, is my favorite segment.
