I have lost respect for Bush..what a Hypocrite! Boo!!!!!!!!!!

[newsperson999]

AREN'T THESE KIDS CUTE

[newsperson999]

He is calling for a cease fire

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

What!? Geezus XXXXXX! Why in the HELL is he doing this?

[areafiftyone]

U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell will be sent to Middle East to lead peace effort. Details soon.

This just came up on the CNN Website.

[Leisler]

Aim low.

[RamsNo1]

Son of a ___________. Bush is a coward. The blood of the Israeli dead will be on his head.

[Lazamataz]

He is calling for a cease fire

Bush is doing what any good Democrat would do: Calling for Israel to grease up and bend over while Israel finds explosive suicide belts and Oslo-forbidden weapons in Arafats personal dresser.

[Howlin]

Don't get all in a twit; that was the LAST part of his speech. He put the responsibility of the whole thing on Arafat.

The Arab countries are NOT going to be happy with that speech.

[ethical]

On board with the UN. I don't like this a bit. If I was Sharon I'd tell Bush to take a hike.

[Howlin]

Perhaps if you had heard the entire speech, not just the last sentence, you wouldn't feel that way.

[Howlin]

Did you hear the speech?

[Mo1]

Oh please .. he slapped them both down ..

Basically he told them to all grow up

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Did you?

[Howlin]

Perhaps you should hear the whole speech before you comment on it. The remark to Israel was the LAST paragraph in the speech. The rest of the speech was directed at Arafat.

[eureka!]

I think Sharon told W "we have done what we needed to, go ahead and make your speech". See the live thread, it makes a lot of sense...

[ethical]

I heard the whole thing.

[Sabramerican]

The US is about to do what it always does. Attempt to stop Israel before the job is complete.

Plant the seeds for the next conflict while this one still rages.

Do the same wrong thing again and again. Classic definition of insanity.

Give the President points, he held out against Arab, UN, EU, Vatican, Media, Colin Powell, pressure almost a full week.

[Howlin]

Yes, I did. Every word of it.

BTW, the talking heads don't agree with you at all. They are saying Bush clearly put the pressure on Arafat. And he clearly told everybody else NOT TO GET INVOLVED.
