US Ignores International Mood And Lays Blame On Palestinians

I was thinking of posting the supporting notes at the bottom of the page. LOL

Mr Bush has refused to meet the Palestinian leader until he makes a public call in Arabic> for the suicide bombings to end and to arrest those involved in the attacks.

Our President Bush, bless him, gets it. Pray for him to stay the course, rely on his instincts and not on his advisors, and to keep America Israel's faithful friend and ally.

It is this newspaper (Independent in England) and author bunkum here, that "remain unbalanced." As long as there is a false moral equivalency alleged between a government trying to maintain the safety of its civilians in local restaurants, etc...and unauthorized, crazed, insane bombers wandering in and blowing them to BITs----

Any writer who maintains this false equivalence is an enemy of America and ought not to be allowed to write for papers unless they openly declare themselves anti-American and pro-terrorism.

[ex-snook]

"While Mr Bush last year became the first US President to use the word "Palestine" in terms of an independent state, his administration's dealings with the two sides remain unbalanced. "

Obviously, everyone is out of step but us.

The writer of this piece in the ever-biased Independent in the UK shares his name with a certain Senator from North Carolina who gave his name to the language. Because of Senator Buncombe (Asheville is located in Buncombe County), "buncombe" means a large-scale public lie.

The answer the the piece, however, is that world "opinion" doesn't mean a horse's patoot. World War III has begun. This author is like Nevil Chamberlain, willing to stick his nose up Hitler's butt to come back from Munich with a signed piece of paper in order to announce "Peace in our times."

There was no peace. World War II was inevitable when Chamberlain signed that piece of paper in Munich. Not enough terrible things have happened to the Euroweenies for them to realize that World War III has begun. Shortly, such things will happen.

When Israel finally "takes care of business" against the Palestinians, the Arabs will shut off the oil spigots again. Europe, with its 80% dependence on Arab oil, will experience cars, lorries, industries, and political and journaistic careers screeching to a halt, all across the continent.

Then the Euroweeenies will join the war. On our side (and Isreal's.) Maybe even France. As Tom Lehrer sang in the "MLF Lullaby," "They're on our side, I believe." Click below for my take on the beginning of WW III.

It's looking like "hammer time" more and more.

Can a leopard change his spots ?

More evidence that Greece is not a friend of the U.S. I wouldn't plan on going to their Olympics in 2004, as their security arrangements will be questionable. I think that Americans will be targeted by the Greek's allies, the Arabs.

In addtion, there is much doubt that the Olympic facilities will be completed.

Thanks, Nachum, for posting these articles.

"Not enough terrible things have happened to the Euroweenies for them to realize that World War III has begun.

I think you have something here. They are siding with the palis now in an attempt to stave off any terrorist attacks in their own country. Their time will come.

[Robert_Paulson2]

The EU countries are all run by the ghost of Neville Chamberlain.

You are... dead wrong!

It's the spirit of Adolf Hitler and Mengele and....

America will unfortunately side with Europe, I fear.

I do believe this is the beginning of the end of it all.

THAT I do NOT fear.

We have a very brave President, who is doing the right and moral thing in siding with Israel. My own heritage is Irish-Italian, Christian, and born in the good old USA. So I cannot pretend to fully comprehend what the Israelis are going through. But I do know right from wrong and have no trouble telling which is which in this struggle. So, while I have my occasional policy disagreements with this administration (as with any other), I stand firmly and resolutely with this President as he attempts to fight the radical Islamist horror.

[Robert_Paulson2]

I read your well-written article.

I think you are wrong perhaps though.

I suspect that America will back down... side with the Euros... with a bloody, ongoing and uncertain outcome.

If this is the end... it WILL play itself out. But, I suspect it is not THE end... just an ongoing preamble to the ongoing conflict between the islamic/arab extremist world, and the USA, democracy in general, and the UK's progeny.

I hope you are right. I hope Europe wakes up and sides with right... instead of oil. But, I doubt it.

I am interested in how a economic meltdown of biblical proportions in Europe (based on the end of their oil supply) would affect the UK, her satellites, and the US proctectorate states, and our military which is now based in virtually every free nation on the face of the Earth.

Just a discussion and NOT an argument with you... not really even much of a disagreement, I would just your reasoned speculation.

It pays to prepare for mulitple scenarios. Thanks.

World War III has begun.

When Israel finally "takes care of business" against the Palestinians...

A friend said this same thing yesterday, and several of us agreed with her. IMO, the only reason it isn't obvious (like to Europe) is that Israel has shown great restraint and hasn't blown the Palestinians away yet. We're just waiting for the other shoe to drop. When it does, it will be something else!

[vaudine]

I think I get your point--EU hates Jews and wants a Hitlerian solution? I meant by the N.Chamberlain remark that they (EU)want to appease the Arabs and are alarmed at the possibility of "instability" in the area. Maybe they do still hate the Jews, but I figure they see Israel as one little country and the Arab countries are many and large, so it is easier to beat up on the little guy and let the bullies have their way. That way EU keeps its oil supply and isn't bothered with fighting the many. Maybe they also look at their own influx of Arabs and don't want to be targets.

And I do not think US will side with EU.Why do you think that?

The world is against the U.S. and Israel? We must be doing something right.

On Fox tonight, Juan or whatever his name is seemed shocked that Israel would defend themselves, that there was no way a negotiations would be reached. I was aghast, what are they supposed to do simply let suicide bombers simply kill innocents as they wish.

[Robert_Paulson2]

I don't WANT to think that we will side with the Eurotrash. But, I do FEAR that. It's clear we don't NEED them. They in fact DO need us. They NEED Britain. I don't want us to go it alone. I don't want the brits in isolation... with spain and france right across the straight acting so openly hostile to the war on terror, in Israel, in Iraq, or anywhere else.

The seeming lull in progress is a little disquieting. While musli try to foment WWIII by outrageous acts of terror in Israel, we seem to be waiting for something. It perhaps goes way beyond a simple incursion into Iraq... in my view.
