Bush: No to Israeli colony expansion
2005-04-06
That's what he was supposed to say...
US President George Bush has warned Israel that there can be "no expansion" of illegal settlements under the US-backed road map to Middle East peace. Bush was reacting to a question about an Israeli plan to expand the Maale Adumim settlement outside Jerusalem, which has angered Palestinian leaders who warn it could derail peace talks. "Our position is very clear, that the road map is important, and the road map calls for no expansion of the settlements," Bush said six days before a summit at his Texas ranch with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

#3  "no expansion" of illegal

So if its not illegal its ok to expand!

Who or what defines illegal?

Lots of wiggle room here!

#2  This high lights the biggest mistake Israel has ever made.

After Egypt & Jordan renounced their claims on Gaza and the WB Israel should have said "All right then, these areas are now ours as spoils of war." Then they should have mapped out exactly which (reasonably small) sections that they wanted to annex (including Jerusalem) and kicked out our assimilated anyone still there.

Then announce their new border and tell the Arabs to go make their own state in what was left.
