Humiliating spectacle of a world leader w/o a policy
Edited on Fri Jul-14-06 06:41 PM by raysr

"Standing beside the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, at a press conference in Rostock before he left for the G8 summit in St Petersburg, George Bush said: "We were headed towards the road map, things looked positive, and the terrorists stepped up. It's really sad where people are prepared to take innocent life to stop that process … in fact it's pathetic."

Israel had a right to defend itself, he said, but he was concerned about the "fragile democracy" in Lebanon.

That response was an admission his administration does not have a policy on the conflict. In fact it has not had a policy since the surprise election victory in January of Hamas in a poll that Washington had encouraged."

Humiliating indeed, the spectacle of a fucking moron.

1. Is this where he said he can't wait to slice the pig or some thing?
I think I saw mention of that in some news report.

2. Why the hell should Bush get involved.
I don't want him to drag us into another war. Let Israel sort this out on their own.
