In reaction to the speech, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said: "Bush's recognition of Palestine as the national homeland for the Jews is a very dangerous act of discrimination and racism, obliterating the right of return for Palestinians and establishing a genocide at the expense of Palestinian rights." He added: "We want to tell Bush, Israel is not going to survive another 60 years. Israel's end is drawing closer, and it will take less than 60 years to achieve it."

NO HAMAS, AS SOON AS ISRAEL'S 60TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION IS OVER, OPERATION BEARDED CLAM WILL BEGIN. ISRAEL WILL CLEAN OUT THE GAZA STRIP OF ALL PIECES OF HUMAN GARBAGE SUCH AS HAMAS AND ISLAMIC JIHAD. IF THE PALESTINIANS THINK THE FIRST 'NAKBA" WAS BAD, THE CLEANSING OF THE GAZA STRIP WILL MAKE THAT ONE LOOK LIKE A PICNIC. LET CARTER AND WRIGHT CRY THEIR TEARS.

"The best venue to go into more detail on the situation with the Palestinians is with Abbas," Johndroe said. He said Bush also is likely to speak more expansively about Palestinians during remarks to Arab leaders in Egypt on Sunday.

It never ceases to amaze me just how stupid our foreign policy is - we preach democracy and, as such, the will of majority rule, then hang negotiations and relationships on individual people or leaders who we prop up. This did not work in Pakistan, where we pumped billions and billions of dollars in aid, and got nothing in return (and now that Musharraf is out, we have no substantial "allies") - and we learned nothing. This will not work with the Palestinians either.

Bush's doublespeak means occupation does not equal oppression!!!

Oppression started when we envaided Iraq and try to shove the American ideal down the throats of a people who lived with oppression for over two thousand years.
Think about it. With the way our country is currenty run, would you wish it upon other countries?

Bumbling Bush on another vacation courtesy of the American taxpayer. He'll make a fool of himself in any country rather than work on the problems in America. What a disgrace.
