Bush to Promote Mideast Strategy at U.N.

President Bush will try to convince skeptical world leaders to embrace his vision
for the Middle East in a speech before the United Nations on Tuesday where he is
calling on the world to "stand up for peace" in the face of violent extremism.

Bush's challenge is to build international support to confront multiple problems
in the region: unabated violence in Iraq, a stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace
process, armed Hezbollah militants in Lebanon and Iran defiantly pursuing its
nuclear program.

Bush was allotted 15 minutes for his annual address to the general assembly, and
White House aides said he planned to use the time to call on the world to support
moderate governments and help build up weak democracies in Iraq and Lebanon,
as wells as the Palestinian Authority.

With remarks aimed especially at people living in the Middle East, Bush was drawing
a distinction between the moderate governments that want peace and extremists
who want to spread terror and violence.

1. Please, bush is;

" ..... calling on the world to "stand up for peace."

How about Klan members for civil rights or Hindus for Islam or nazis for
Jews?

Hello, anybody want to talk about Iraq?

2. Memo to El Pretzeldente:

"Stay the Course" is not a strategy; it is a slogan. You have no strategy. None. Don't worry though. You have until the morning to come up with one. No hurry.

3. Hmmmmmmmmmmm..........

If he can't forge a link between Iraq and the WoT here in America with a supportive media, how will he convince 180 some foreign leaders that he has been shitting on for 6 years? He started all of this "fer us or agin' us" crap, and once more he says, "Trust me, I know what I'm doing." :puke:

4. He has a mid-east strategy?

Other than Oil, cash and revenge, that is.
