"We must stand with the Palestinian people, who have suffered for decades and earned the right to a homeland of their own."


They have a homeland of their own. They just want Isreals land. The Jews had the land first. But regardless of that fact, the Jews own the land now.

Who had the land first is not important or relevant. Americans stole America from the Indians and Mexicans through war, just like Isreal got her land--I don't see many Americans talking about giving it back.

If the Palestinians want to live where the Isrealis are now--they better get an army or learn to STFU--just like our Indians.

those people have been given land and what do they do with it? No nothing but hatred for their neighbors. Instead if trying to better their own they would rather wallow in their own misery.

Why can't we just stay the hell out of this? Israel is not a real ally. They have attacked us one more time than they've ever helped us and they've spied on us quite a few more times than that. It is the best run country in the region, but it isn't a real democracy. And the Palestinians are simply the most self destructive idiots on the planet. If these people want to live in a perpetual state of war with one another, let them.

If we'd stop pretending this is our responsibility, the rest of the world might stop believing that it is too.

Sounds like appeasement to me. Now don't get me wrong, I want to try establishing a Palestinian state rather than just continuing what we have now, which is just slowly escalating war.

Gee, with eight months left in his term he has suddenly awoke to the reality that he hasn't done jackshit over the last years to address the globes most persistent and nagging source of political tension. Too little too late you lame duck.

He's pursuing Osama bin forgotten too. I think the palestinians should judge his promises by his success with that.

Why doesn't he do the world a favor and spend the next 8 months cutting brush in Crawford?

Message to GWB and the next President: The only people who can create peace and a palestinian state are the palestinians and Israelis and neither of them want it. Fatah got un-elected because they were corrupt and ineffective. Abbas was installed in a coup and is just a US/Israeli lapdog.
Hamas doesn't want it because they'd have nothing to blame others for and would probably be as corrupt and ineffective as Fatah.
Israel doesn't want it because it would cost them US welfare checks and the ability to use guilt and fear to lead Congress and the WH around by the nose. It would also force their government to deal with Israel's problems.
Israel's US pimps don't want it because they need the jews to get the land, bring on the endtimes and then go die. Israel is big business for weapons manufacturers and lobbyists too.

Bush Pursues Palestinian State?

I doubt if they want him as any more than Iran or Iraq does....

"he hasn't done jackshit over the last years to address the globes most persistent and nagging source of political tension"

Nonsense! He's done a lot to make the situation much, much worse. Give credit where credit is due...

Remember. Everything Bush says he will do, turns out or means the opposite. It's the proverbial Judas Kiss of Death.

Bush pursues to raise Gas Prices again tomorrow! He needs a good retirement plan and what better way to do it? Raise gas prices and reap dividends.

Palestinians don't deserve a state, they deserve to surrender unconditionally to Israel. Let Israel dictate the terms. Every politician says the same thing, "Palestinians deserve their own state." Why?

Nonsense! He's done a lot to make the situation much, much worse. Give credit where credit is due...

Your post is so good, it needs to be read twice, so here's a repost.

Israel isn't the USA's responsibility.

.........touche.....

...lets see I can't play golf anymore. I've only got 8 months left. Maybe I better get off my ass and do something for a change.

On second thought Crawford and Paraguay are looking better and better.

palistians didn't even pay attention to that part of the speech --all they seem to have heard is that the us will protect isreal-a sperate state is not the arabs goal -the destruction of isreal is the foremost in most of their minds
