| Bush defends Israel, takes Hamas threats seriously |
| 2004-03-23 |
| EFL (al-Reuters) - President Bush on Tuesday defended Israel’s right to defend itself against Hamas and said he may send a delegation to the region next week to try to keep the peace process alive following the assassination of the group’s leader by Israeli forces. Said delegation being not expected to actually accomplish anything. Bush also said his administration took seriously any threats by Hamas against the United States. "Any country has the right to defend itself from terror. Israel has the right to defend herself from terror. And as she does so, I hope she keeps consequences in mind as to how to make sure we stay on the path to peace," Bush said in his first public comment on Monday’s That’s actually a fairly mundane point: there may be times when it is to Israel’s tactical advantage to not go all out. Bush did not repeat a statement by [White House spokesman Scott] McClellan on Monday that Washington was "deeply troubled" by Yassin’s killing. "I’m worried about terrorist groups targeting America," Bush said when asked about possible threats by Hamas against the United States. "Whether it be an Hamas threat, or an al Qaeda threat, we take them very seriously in this administration." "In other words, mess with us and you’ll be begging the Israelis to save you from us." |

| #9 Boris is the turd in the punchbowl - literally. I would hope our peace delegation are composed of Taskforce 121 members, but that's in my dreams *sigh* |

| #8 Anonymous (or is it Boris?), you may seriously want to think why it is that Fred is censoring your comments. Given the amount of time I've been reading the site, I feel confident in saying that I don't think he would without a damn good reason. I only just started posting, but I've found this site to be a valuable source of information and laughs, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't ruin it for the rest of us. |
