This can't be good

Okay, so I plead ignorance of most of the subtleties of the whole Israel-Palestine situation, but this can not bode well for anyone:

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Friday that he was no longer bound by a promise to President Bush not to harm Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
...
"I told the president the following," Sharon said. "In our first meeting about three years ago, I accepted your request not to harm Arafat physically. I told him I understand the problems surrounding the situation, but I am released from that pledge."
Somehow I get the feeling that things in Israel are about to get a whole lot worse before they get better, if they ever do.

Does this mean it's now T-10 to the Rapture and counting? Terrific.

The thug sharon received a blank check from Bushto for his killings. Get ready, it could be our soldiers in Iraq who will pay for it.

The Rapture requires that all the Jews return to Israel, and I'M NOT GOING! The best bagels are made in New Jersey and I am not leaving them.

Arrafat is no saint, folks. Quite the opposite. He is a murderous thug as well. The problem is that we have thugs dealing with thugs in this "Roadmap to Peace". And we cannot look down our noses at the Israeli voters for electing Sharon. Look who got enough votes to get appointed president in the US. We have to lead by example and elect a decent man and THEN we can look down our noses at Israel.

The problem is that the leaders of both the Israelis and the Palestinians are terrorists. Add to this the reality that if either leader actually endorsed peace they would be assassinated by the nut cases among their own population.

If the Israelis take out Arafat, the reaction will be REALLY BAD. It will be a bloodbath.

There is only one question I would ask Bush, if I had the chance.

"Do YOU personally believe that you are living in the End Times? or End of Days or whatever the codephrase is?

That's it. I think it's vital for every voter in America to know whether or not the 'leader of the freep world' is hastening the end of life as we know it on this planet.

with all the craptacular developments in Iraq-o-rama, this is hardly the best timing on Sharon's part. of course, he really don't care about US troops facing a populist uprising, but an attempt on Arafat's life will only inflame things on a biblical scale.

jeebus, doesn't BushCO ever think things thru?

I believe they think some things through. They just get the wrong answers when they do. Remember, these people are incompetent from top to bottom. For example, they thought about the chief threats to the United States and they concluded it was missiles and we needed missile defense desperately. That's what Condi Rice was thinking up until approximately 9AM, 9/11/2001. Even now they think the chief threat to the US comes from Weapons of Mass Destruction located in Iraq.

They are stupid and incompetent and they need to go, not just because they are thieves and liars, but because they keep geting it all wrong.

Ok so Sharon wants our blessings to kill any world leader he dislikes - it follows the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive strikes - I think maybe we need to level the playing field and give the Palestinians in the walled ghettos, Stinger missels and anti-tank RPGs - rocks vs rockets is hardly a "sporting" foreign policy . . .

The scenario that really kicks off that rapture countdown is if Sharon decides that the Iranian nuclear program is worth a preemptive strike like the one against Iraq in '81 I believe.

There is no doubt that an Iranian nuclear bomb is a threat to Israel's existence. Sharon has an American army between Israel and Iran right now. Is Sharon mad enough to believe that involving the US in a war with Iran and in all probability all Islam, a way to solve the Israeli-Palestinian problem for all time? Or maybe he calculates that Iran could not retaliate because of the Americans? Either way, it is going to be a dangerous couple of years ahead.

Nothing a bulldozer over women and children or a bomb for the other's innocents wont solve. Think about it, if things get peaceful Sharon and Yassir are jobless.


Nothing in their resumes mentions peaceable activity.
