2005-08-24 | ||
DONNELLY (Idaho) â President George W. Bush said yesterday the next step after Israelâs withdrawal from Gaza would be establishing a working Palestinian government there and suggested more confidence-building was needed before jumpstarting the âroad
Washington was counting on Prime Minister Ariel Sharonâs âdisengagement planâ to kick-start the âroad He said Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas âhas made a commitment to fight off the violence because he understands a democracy canât exist with terrorist groups trying to take the law into their own hands.â Bush stopped short of calling on Abbas to dismantle the groups following Israelâs withdrawal.

#4 Bush is still ever the optimist about arabs and democracy and ability to self governance. I have admittedly had my doubts in the recent past and hope he is at least partly right. I think they are a bunch of f*cking animals and should be treated as such, but then again I never professed to be especially sanguine on arabs in general. |

#3 The man who spent 300 000 000 000 $ trying to establish a democracy in an Arab country is speaking. |

#2 Can't the Paleos EVER be expected to reciprocate? Or is it always going to be Israel that is expected to do everything, while the Paleos do absolutely nothing? Ofcourse not,BAR'60 years of bomb making and killing Israelies is all they know. |

#1 President George W. Bush said yesterday the next step after Israelâs withdrawal from Gaza would be establishing a working Palestinian government.. Excuse me sir, but that should have been done a very long time ago. "..helping rebuild the settlements for Gaza,.." If you would be so kind, not with my money. How about tracking down Arafart's ill-gotten millions and using that instead? Bush stopped short of calling on Abbas to dismantle the groups following Israelâs withdrawal. I don't see why that can't be done. Can't the Paleos EVER be expected to reciprocate? Or is it always going to be Israel that is expected to do everything, while the Paleos do absolutely nothing? Hmmm??? |
