Did I hear Tweetie call Sharon a peace maker?

[Nimrod2005]

Didn't Bush call him the same a couple of years ago?

How can they call Sharon, the father of all wars and violence in our recent history, a peace maker?

Sharon has more blood on his hands than Saddam ever did!!! A peace maker?

[elehhhhna]

1. Maybe he called for a pacemaker?

[Nimrod2005]

2. lol, maybe you are right?

:rofl:

[Pirate Smile]

3. Yes, your ears are working correctly. He did.

[Nimrod2005]

5. And he said we can't afford to lose him now...etc.?

We have had wars for over 50 years in the region, there is really only one single person who you can hold responsible for all of it...(well 2 including Arafat).

[Warpy]

4. Well, the dead are peaceful, you have to give them that,

and Sharon's policies certainly created a large supply of dead.

QED..

6. There are all KINDS of ways

to "make" peace. And some aren't very peaceful.

7. Ironically, he is a peacemaker

Sharon has transformed himself into the closest thing to a peacemaker in the Middle East at the moment.

Which says something about how quickly a politician can change his stripes and how backward the state of ME politics is.

8. he was unwilling to listen to ANY Palestinian leader, nor BUSH

is building a WALL, has had more bloodshed on his watch in decades and you think HE is a peace maker?

sign of the times i suppose :shrug:

peace

[DavidDvorkin]

9. He reinvented himself to a degree

He's scarcely to my taste, but I didn't say he was. I pointed out that (because of the concessions he has been willing to make) he's the closest thing to a peacemaker currently in the Middle East.

Of those in power, I should have said.

10. I guess that's a colt peacemaker: a thundering .45 caliber monster

I'll never forget seeing him interviewed by Ted Koppel during the Lebanon mess as he said, with a straight face, that "we're going into Lebanon to secure the living space of the Jewish people and to force a final solution to the Palestinian problem."

Did he know he was using the two most highly-charged terms of the Third Reich's eastward expansion and racial extermination? Beats me. He probably would, too, if he had a chance.
