February 6, 2003 -- JERUSALEM - President Bush consoled the children of Israel's first astronaut by telling them he would finish the job begun by their father - who bombed Saddam Hussein's nuclear reactor.

During a memorial service in Houston on Tuesday, Bush praised Ilan Ramon, an Israeli Air Force colonel, along with the six other Columbia crew members who perished.

The President is an awesome guy.

I'm sure his remarks completely enrage the Arabs/Muslims.

Good.

A rally behind the astronaute! The Prez nailed it on the head. The signs from heaven as to whom the lamb's wool is to cover are unmistakable.

YESSSSS! Bush is gonna finish Ramon's mission!

I wonder if Bush consulted with France before he made those comments to Ramon's family. ;-)

Nah, France can just read about it in the New York Post. And when America starts lighting up the Baghdad sky like it's the Fourth of July, I hope France learns about it from Fox News Channel.

"Your father started the job," Bush told them. "And I am going to finish it."

I like that he said he's going to FINISH the job, not just continue it, or pursue it, or study it, or some fancy French word that means "do nothing until it's too late".

Thank God for GWB.
