4. A strong Israel is a vital asset to the free world...
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (12.31.08)
A strong Israel is a vital asset to the free world and America. To be a strong and dependable friend in a 'rough neighborhood', Israel must have defensible borders and military prowess capable of addressing multiple challenges which can materialize suddenly in this unstable region. The conflict between Palestinian Arabs and Israelis is not the only adversary Israel faces. Historically, anti-Zionism has been the glue behind Arab nationalism. It has provided a convenient scapegoat for deflecting Arab states' frustration over unsolved domestic problems, but it also stems from a deep innate intolerance that exists throughout the Muslim world to any non-Muslim presence.

Why you ask? For the same reason as: 1898 battleship Maine explosion - 255 dead WW1 ocean liner Lusitania - 1200 dead WW2 Ocean Liner Athenia - 118 Dead WW2 Withholding japanese encryption machines, denying information for the purpose of provacation. Adm. Kimmel, Lt.,Gen, Short, (read about them) Korean War - read about John Foster Dulles Vietnam War - Gulf on Tonkin 1953-cia organized coup in Iran, ousting Mossadeq and replacing him with the Shah Desert Storm - Read about April Gillespie an the Kuwaiti US ambassador playing nurse on TV. Need more just let me know, your history is full of it
9. The onus may be on Hamas .. but the e Annus
R Hitchings ,   Methil   (12.31.08)
that Bush Flashed to the IDF after they failed in their the task of "Destroying Hizbollah " was a wee bit off colour. Bushy... How many times can one guy be a complete failure.. and still pretend to be a Prez?
10. This is why palestinians celeberated 9/11
IRAN#1   (12.31.08)
And they won't shed a tear then next time the USA gets hit.
11. Bush may be a bad president, but he's right on this one
USA   (01.01.09)
Hamas has to knock off the rocket fire so the crossings can reopen and Israel and Gaza can restore normalized relations. There is no way around this fact, and the USA, Israel and EVEN THE ARABS know it. And to all you talkbackers who say the USA deserved 911: Go F*** yourselves.
12. He meant the anus is on Hamas, not the onus
(01.01.09)
13. White House backs Israel?
David Powell ,   Everett, Wa. DPRSSA   (01.01.09)
That will be only until Hussein takes office. Watch support to go to the Hamas and Gaza and Israel bill be cooked.
14. Bush is a priest king and all you need is faith
AY_Lamb ,   USA   (01.01.09)
In a 2006 survey most Americans singled out bush as the leader of evangelism in the US. This was on a multiple choice survey. This guy won consensus on a theology question over other choices that actually have academic credentials in Xtian theology. Bush is no different then Rasputin or the Harodians or the Caliphs or Emperors of the Ming dynasty etc etc etc he coasted into power on the promise of some sort of prophetic gnostic fulfillment Dogma, surrounded himself with sycophants and commenced to destroy all those that didn't share the "vision". He POTUS B will always have this core of followers that are certain he is the "water walker" returned no matter what he does and sadly this is the thing we must endure. Oh well there is an old joke that sums it up - What's the difference between Pres. Bush and Ahmadinejad? ans. One speaks fluent English and the other has a Ranch in Crawford Texas.
15. If not for America
dave ,   usa   (01.01.09)
the Canadians would be speaking German or Japanese.
