Following a standing ovation, Mr Bush said "America was proud to be Israel's closest ally and best friend in the world".
I remember when I use to be proud of my best friends, a time when we swapped premier league football stickers and bananas for sandwiches in the primary school playground. Now it’s all about swapping missile defense systems and food for oil UN initiatives. Waste of time!
He referred to his morning trip to the Roman-era desert fortress of Masada, where in an act of defiance during Roman rule, almost 1,000 Jews were chronicled to have committed suicide.
Mr Bush said: "Masada shall never fall again and America will be at your side."
It has fallen; you are sitting on its ruins!
He said the US would never negotiate with "killers pledged to [Israel's] destruction".
Amnesty International, eat your heart out!
Mr Bush also again urged action to prevent Iran obtaining nuclear weapons.
"Permitting the world's leading sponsor of terror to possess the world's deadliest weapon would be an unforgivable betrayal of future generations," he said.
Iran, it seems, has beaten the US in terms of sponsoring terrorism and terrorist activity. Funny that, considering both Sadam and Bin Laden were CIA pushed and US backed figures only about 30 years ago. Good going Iran!
He also said there should be a different Middle East over the next 60 years in a "bold vision" that would include a democratic homeland for Palestinians.
Muslims would "recognise the emptiness of the terrorists' vision and the injustice of their cause".
And whose bold 'emptiness' vision is it that we should recognise exactly? The US’s vision of democracy brought along 9/11 and threats of WMD from all corners of the World (Iran, North Korea, Fiji and now apparently Jordan).
I think it’s absurd that the number one World leader doesn’t respect the phrase ‘one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter’ and I really don’t care how many Knesset sexual favors he gets!
“On Wednesday, 14 people, including a mother and daughter, were injured when a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip hit the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon.”
Oh how sad, they were hurt… F U BBC! What about those that are innocently killed in sloppy Israeli air raids to get one or two ‘suspected’ militants. No proof is handed to the public to explain the reasons for the assassinations. No clear court is set up to determine whether these militants should be blown up’. No authority established to make sure any extradition or ‘kidnapping’ is done within the Geneva Convention.
Let’s all lick our lips at the thought of Guantanamo Bay for a second, that’s Bush’s democracy for you. Let’s look at Iraq and the so called ‘Weapons of Mass Penetration’. Examine the facts. Democracy is a lovely concept… but a monkey driving a Porsche is bound to wreck it!
“We believe that the surest way to defeat the enemies of hatred is to advance the cause of hope, the cause of freedom, liberty as the great alternative to tyranny and terror”
Umm hang on, surely the enemies of hatred are our friends??
