He did use the "O" word, but still,Im encouraged.

He used that word for a reason. The US still sees it as an occupation (as does the rest of the world). That's the word they heard loudest in Jerusalem.

Yeah. All the kooks that don't know (or rather in their eagerness to kiss Arab a$$ don't give a sh*t about) what occupation actually means. If that defines Bush, then God help the world.

Israel's semi-occupation is far better than an armed Palestinian state. What sense does that make? Under Oslo agreements the Pallies have been administering the West Bank and Gaza for the last number of years and have done no good for their people. PallieLand has devolved into an even worse s**thole. Arafat started his disastrous Jihad/Intifada after he walked out on Oslo negotiations.

Israel should withdraw unilaterally so Pallies can make a better war and Jihad against the Jews of Israel? Not likely.
