Bush's greatest success in office has been his shielding of the Saudi royal family. I imagine he will get more than just a gold necklace after he is done. I'm sure he let the Saudis guide his way though the wacky world of Islam throughout his tenure. Why should Gordon English be the only one with a pet Muslim to tell him his every move and thought about Islam.

In the wake of 9-11, President Bush delivered a line that has rankled lefties ever since: “You are either with us or you are with the terrorists.”
That line never bothered me. I just wish he would have lived up to it.

So tragically true.

Something has not been quite right. Either it's loss of nerve or conviction, or just battle weariness, or there's something important we don't know about yet. But who could imagine that the Bush we rallied behind after 9/11 would be handing "aid" to bloodthirsty terrorists like Fatah? No wonder he's not popular - he's not the president we knew.

First of all, if America is in the business of empire (and it is) you can count on it playing enemies off of each other, in this case Palestinian terror groups against Israel, and Israel (inevitably, duh) against them. Second, I have continually pointed out (or tried) that the greatest threat to Israel's existence is not Arab terrorism, but the USA. Indeed, the neocons of America are pretty sure that they know what is best for Israel. We rule the world and are doing a really sh*tty job of it.

"in the face of evil" about Reagan, they note that in the past US Presidents would come in with a hard line against the Soviets but then gradually moderate themselves once in office from all the pressures from the job. With Reagan that correction never happened. Looks like with Bush, this correction happened, just a little longer than normal and into the second term. if you watch the doc. “in the face of evil” about Reagan, they note that in the past US Presidents would come in with a hard line against the Soviets but then gradually moderate themselves once in office from all the pressures from the job.

So now the US government has decided to directly fund Islamist terrorists. Just wonderful. President Bush has clearly moved back to Crawford, left these decisions to the quees of appeasment Condi "Neville Chamberlain" Rice and decided that he has been wrong all along about the Islamists- we should just be arms suppliers to them long enough to have some fun with the money until they enslave our women and children and murder the rest of us.
