The nefarious meddlers in Israel's sovereignty choose to return and interfere when things are more settled. This way they can make their puppet Olmert do things terrible against Israel .The painful things required only of Israel for no peace with the Palestinians. Can you smell a rat in a nice dress offering empty promises to Israel and rewarding the Palestinians for all the terrorism they do ?
5. Enough "peace" BS from Rice
Frank ,   Canada   (05.08.07)
We want the real shalom not "peace", e.g. more and more concessions for more and more terror.

First solve the basic needs problem of the many poor people in the US. There are American hungry without foof, shelter and medical help. Super Power Nation mut FIRST LEAD BY EXAMPLE. You are like Rathika Coomaraswamy both FORGOT TO CLEAN YOUR OWN HOME . Now go home cover your head and hold that tools in the kitchen. Tell the American Leaders, that it is time they help the POOR in the US.Bring them out of Poverty. Also donate 10 % of you fad pay to charity. Tell this to all the American People. Tell it to the Israeli Polititians too ! All of you been robbing the POOR The Beloved of the Lord G-d of Yisrael.The Kingdom of G-d you POLITITIANS PERSECUTE !
7. She's Chicken Rice. How Nice !
john ,   nz   (05.08.07)
I believe she do not want to act silly with the current PM who is polling zero %. With this rejection, Olmert should be embarassed enuf to resign unless he has very thick skin.
8. my great COUNTRY USA HAS TO LEAVE ISRAEL ALONE.ISRAEL HAS GD
DONT NEED ANYONE ,   ONLY G'D......DACON9   (05.08.07)
9. The Great USA...
ben ,   singapore   (05.08.07)
commited a biG ERROR of JUSTICE.... YES ! in the case of JOnathan Pollard, the detention is UNFAIR FAILURE and MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE and EQUALITY. The victims of Hurrican Kathrina are home less and hungry, suffering on the streets. The distribution of wealth and riches of the Nation of United States of America is not Fair and Equal. With all that domestic problem HOW can RICE engage in Peace Talk. Tell the great USA to clean thier own home first. Never the Less I will SUPPORT the American ALWAYS but I must tell them of their STUPIDITY as well !

sas ,   israel   (05.08.07)
GREAT that she is not coming. she certainly does NOTHING except dsrupt the traffic and exercise in the morning. like livni - the 2 woman are totally over-rated.............
11. Funny, the bloody chaos in the PA never seemed to bother her
Otter   (05.08.07)
But a little political upheaval in Israel is enough to scare her? Rice, keep out of Israel. Stop meddling, stop imposing your pro-Saudi agenda on Israel.
12. Come on Ben, the poor live better in the US than
Stewart ,   USA   (05.08.07)
almost anywhere in in the world. Take a disabled person on Medicaid who never made enough to qualify for regular disability. They get $610 cash, 75% of their housing subsidized, $50 to $70 dollars in free food stamps, half dollar busrides, $800 of medicine for $30 bucks, and free Medicaid health insurance that covers more than most paying peoples insurance. A person would have to make $25,000 to $27,000 a year just to afford all this. Show me how many countries can match this. Now an unwed mother can get a pretty good deal just by having 3 babies and living off of the wellfare. Show me some poor people with cars, washing machines, TV's, and airconditioners and 9 times out of 10 they are here in the U.S. Many of the truely homeless are drug users that won't get of drugs. Oh, those so called Vets you see on the highway pan handling, an independent study was done that found most of them were not homeless army veterens. The could make so much money faking it, they just did.
13. Poverty in the US for US standards of economy is
ben ,   singapore   (05.08.07)
still very Bad ! Comparitive in terms of the statistics and the reality of US living standards.Look the case in US is not far diffrent with other parts of the world. I have been traveling frequently to the US. Poverty Status of a Person is calculated by age, race, region and familiy type. As such there is a big diffrence on the over all poverty rate on the satistic and on the individual basis. Poverty rates for individual is far painful from the status in a particular Group as well , Blacks, White, Hispanic, Colored, what ever calssification there is . There is a wide gap between the Metropolitant sector by Area and state. The over all trend in US is also by season now days. like the natural disaster poverty status also by sector. area and state . About the cars and Tv's, for the US economic standards these are no longer a lux but a need. No doubt some do want to stay poor because of their lazyness and being a sponge on the tax payers.( drug and social problems ) From my own finding ,the poors people I saw there in the US, during my visits there, I strongly feel the US Govt could do more.or the US GovT is not doing enough .One could get all forms of money via social and economic engineeing policies, but if the buying power of money is reduced there is no point talking about how much of aid the poor is given or received. Actually the poor dont live better in the US as claimed. :)
