In brief, Republican candidates won't support GWB because he's handled the issue like a Democrat, and understandably Democrats won't give him credit for handling it the way they would.

The Mr. Palestine thread.

How can Bush have such good foreign policy against the terrorists, yet switch to appeasement just for Palestine?

Most of the candidates are of the same old Arabist/western European guard, too. ...ethnicities and oil instead of right.

“his vow to quickly move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem”

Still waiting on his fulfilling that promise. It slip his mind when he was sending millions of taxpayer dollars to the Fatah nutjobs?

I don’t quite know what to make of the last sentence in the posted article re “... all should be praying [Bush] succeeds.” That’s because a Pali state and Israeli-Palestinian “peace” are incompatible with each other, barring the appearance of a Ghandi-type Palestinian leader, the likes of which we’ve never seen before. Anyone representing Fatah or Hamas is certainly not a reasonable nor reliable “peace partner.”

...Ann Coulter, Pat Buchanan, and their ilk.

What's with this gratuitous slap at Ann Coulter by lumping her with Pat Buchanan?

I think it's fair to say that Coulter is a Christian Zionist and Buchanan most definitely is not.

Bush and Rice are getting crazy stupid on this statehood for the so-called palestinians thingy. What happened to them?

Whining leftist article.
If liberals want nothing to do with Israel it is because they have chosen dhimmitude.

"If George W. Bush were running for president today on his current Mideast policy, he probably would lose the votes of many who have praised him as Israel's best friend ever in the Oval Office."

That's certainly how I feel; between his "two-state" pandering to the "palestinians", his permitting Condi to segregate the Israelis at Annapolis like 1963 Birmingham, and his (and his Administration and Congress') pandering to Mexico and the illegal alien invasion, he alienated me just about as bad as Jimmy Carter some 28 years ago.

I voted for Bush 5 times, twice for Governor and twice for President, One time in a primary .

I now view him as a despicable idiot, for muttering "Islam is a Religion of Peace". Yes, he's better than a Kerrycrat. But he's still a sellout who needs to grow a pair brass cahones and the let B-2's and B-52's roll over Islamic terror havens.

Peculiar how Christian Zionists find the idea of a two-state solution abhorrent; yet find the alternative idea of ethnic cleansing of all of Palestine perfectly acceptable.
