I would much rather have a SofS who would decline to meet with any Pali-scum until they are fully ready to make “peace” which may mean never....
If the President asks the Secretary of State, to go to certain places, he or she can not say I am not going
I don’t know about the propriety of that meeting but I wish I could have been a fly on the wall during it.
Thank you Kaslin..
Is the president going to be at the Pubbie convention? It may have been posted but I dont recall if he will be speaking at all.
I know there is some McCain interest in distancing himself from this administration over certain issues..
But I also know the president said he endorses the pick of our party
When is the black tie dinner? in crawford? september?
hope all are having a good evening
Well let me re-phrase: I would like to have a POTUS who would neither ask nor permit the US SofS to meet with any Pali-scum unless/until they have demonstrated a comprehensive commitment to “peace” — and a SofS who would explain to the POTUS and the world why it is a bad idea to have anything to do with coddling terrorists. The world has been rewarding terrorist vermin for far too long. As has been said many many times, when you reward terrorism you get more of it.
The only reason things are not a lot worse than they are is that Israel finally built much of the fence/wall and few homicide-suicide bombers can get through right now. But we can be sure they are continually looking for ways to re-launch their terror campaigns on a new footing.
My understanding is that the first night of the Republican convention there will be appearances by both Pres. Bush and VP Cheney, and then they will be gone. The idea is to have them make an appearance for the opening night but not dominate the proceedings ala the Clintonistas. Obama & co. should have taken a cue from the Republicans and confined the Clintonistas to Monday night only.
I am sure many would have liked to
Thanks for the ping Kaslin.
So good to see Condi looking her beautiful taleted self.
Hope she comes home safe and sound soon!
That makes sense. The convention is about the future of the Republican party, not the past, though honoring the President and Vice President is certainly appropriate on the first night of the gathering. Then they can get on with nominating the NEW President. ;o)
I am not sure, but I think I heard on the news (FNC) of course that the dinner would be in the White House. I could be wrong though
