George Bush should have an understanding for the sheer lunacy of giving territory to Palestinian terrorists. After all, We remember the Alamo that was attacked by Mexican terrorists and the war was eventually won by the Americans as was the Mexican American war. If this logic was employed, we should give the desert southwest to Mexico in order to feel good and give in to terror. Those who do not learn from history repeat it.
4. Israel/Bush/Roadmap
kim segar ,   mill creek, wa...USA   (07.07.05)
do you think we are deaf. We heard Rice and the preasure she put on Israel, we are aware of aid not given to Israel, but it sure goes to the enemy of the US and Israel. One thing he forgets or don't care about is...Zechariah 12:2-3, G-d speaking. will cut to pieces and destroy any nation that burdens themselves with the Land called by His Name, as a covenant that is everlasting. To say nothing of Democracy / Republic..which we are, not a democracy where we vote and bush decides. Our tax dollars are going to build another Iran or two in Afgan, which our forefathers warned us not to. We the people voted him in to serve us, not one promise kept, and our borders againt us polls like 79 percent yet Bush talks today of giving them permenant jobs here, while our teens, moms and some dads can't get work. Taxing our SS from 50 percent to 85, that was taxed enough and now he takes that too. cloing our bases which nations who tried fell..........not learning from history, ilegas get housing, education, and medical and are in US aginst the law which bush does not inforce. Not releasing aid to HUD since March 03, yet is building apt and codo's for ilegals and handing our visa's like tricks out of a box. and you want me to believe all this crap. Not a chance. A one world gov, religion or constituton is out for the US, which is bushes dream.A DSHS office in the federal gov is against our constitution, yet on he goes. the left and right are dammed, and it won't work and all of this on top of our enemies getting medical and hosp and homes build over in the new Iraq (Iran) he is building and he thinks they will love him. No, their plan is to rule the world, but Bush doesn't get it. To me I am no longer fooled and my G-d is not Allah. G-d's Word is true, and Obediah tells us hamas is violent..duh! and Daniel tells us allah is satan, yet no one believe s G-d. Man't law did not ever save men, and it won't this time either. Further more , for Muslim to accept democracy is to call Islam a lie, and believe it,,,they never will.
5. Bush policy re: disengagement
M Metcalf ,   Kelowna, B.C., Canad   (07.07.05)
If President Bush is against withdrawing from terrorists, why is his administration, especially under the negotiations being carried out with the Paliestinians by Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, pushing for territorial concessions by the Israelis? IE. No expansion of building in the territories. If President Bush believes the Israelis are supposed to inhabit all the land of Canaan, then why is he appearing to support the disengagement from Gaza, and not speaking out strongly against Withdrawal? Israel's Prime Minister, in a supposedly democratic government, is exhibiting dictatorial and oppressive attitudes against his own citizens, pushing his own agenda of withdrawal no matter what anyone thinks, feel, and in spite of the obvious danger the withdrawal from Gaza and part of the Shomron could mean for Israeli security. Hamas has indicated they plan on continuing their terrorist activities in order to "liberate' Jerusalem and the West Bank from Israeli "occupation." They are not disarming. Is everyone in the US government hoping the terrorists will simply go away? I thought there was a war on terror! Does that only apply in the USA, Afghanistan, and Iraq, but not to Israel? Why are we seeing a double standard? Terrorist threats and attacks are happening every day in Israel by Islamic Jihad, Fatah, Hamas, and other Islamic operatives. If these same attacks were perpetrated in the USA, they would be major incidents, and handled seriously and quickly. but since they are common occurrences in Israel, against Israelis, no one is batting an eye. Terror iagainst Israeli citizens is a daily reality. If there is to be no Withdrawal in the face of terror, than perhaps a stronger stand by the US administration is in order! The Withdrawal should not be happening!
6. Bush and his policies
Pamela Varndell ,   Salem Oregon USA   (07.10.05)
I want to say that the Believers here in the USA pray diligently for Bush since he professes to believe and actively prays and reads his Bible. We pray that he will understand the issues Israel has and will continue to stand against terror and realize how important it is to support Israel and not to push the Gaza issue for it is NOT in Israels interests. I have written my concerns to Bush explaining that how would we as Americans feel if we were told to leave our homes and open ourselves up to a huge terror cell right in the middle of our country? I have yet to hear back on this letter sent! I support Israel and most of us as Believers know how important it is to stand with Israel! Shalom and blessings on the Peace of Jerusalem and the land of Israel! Pamela Varndell Salem Oregon USA
7. This Is Total Non-Sense
Moshe Finberg ,   Boulder, Colorado   (07.10.05)
Wake-Up America. President Bush fully supports a PA [read Hamas/Islamic Jihad/ Hezbollah] state in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza and has promised money directly to the PA, something no other president has ever done. He and the G8 leaders intend to give $3 billion per year to the PA to assist them develop their little terrorist state.
