Prediction: The Powers That Be have decided to let Israel twist slowly in the wind.
Anybody want to hear a laugher -- that, in my mind, PROVES that W is either a clever liar or else putty in the hands of puppeteers?
During his campaign for office, W said he favored moving the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
He's done a LOT to make that happen, hasn't he? (sarcasm off.)
The mask has been removed first. Next thing to come off are likely the gloves. I fear that Israel is about to get the double-crossing of its life at the hands of the son of the President that forced Israel to stand passively by as Saddam fired some 39 Scuds into their soil.
The Bushes operate on this philosophy: The US may chase foreign enemies around the globe, inflicting much damage to civilians, if need be. (Don't forget, Bush spoke favorably of Slick's murderous bombing campaign in Yugo.) On the other hand, the Bushes Two forbid Israel to use proportionate force against those attacking them in their own back yards.
Mr. Bush: I voted for you this time. Next time, you just may need to find someone else to vote for you. Perhaps some of President Fox's "dual" citizens?
I voted for a Bush once. That the first time GHW ran for president.
You forgot to mention oil. Big Oil, as P8riot can attest, is the big motivator for Bush & Co.
