If you and others are correct, that Bush is sly like a fox, that he's laying the foundation for the Israelis to destroy the terrorists, then I have to ask why? Will the Arab states that are fomenting this terrorism be impressed? Of course not. Will the appeasers in Europe be impressed? Of course not. Meanwhile, Israelis are being murdered in their beds. Hamas is targeting children on school buses. I think Bush deserves to be taken at his word, rather than have so many put words in his mouth in hopes of finding a consistent policy. The terrorists understand military strength and nothing else. Israel has been held back long enough. She must be free to defend herself.

You don't think they believe Bush? Tell that to the Pakistanis and Chinese, that have seem their alliance fade, or the French, that realize they must get on board or Pax Americana leaves them no room at the table.And Saddam's client, the PLO, that had its legs broken publicly today by the US. Syria is beginning to coo sweet words, but they are also in the US gunsite, but is your beef more with the progress than anything else? It takes a bit of time to re-order the world.God did it in 7 days, and Bush is expected to do likewise? Is Bush God?

I never said that, in fact I ment just the opposite. Bush is the first president that is using blunt and plain language about what he thinks needs to happen.
