You'll recall in A Christmas Story when Ralphie finally can't take getting picked on by the bully any more he finally hits him back, but he just keeps hitting and hitting and hitting him until his mother comes and takes him off the bully. This is what is happening here. Israeli is Ralphie and Bush will be the mom, who will tell Israel when to stop.

In response to a Bushie friend of mine
He said that Bush is doing "everything he can WITHIN THE LAW to protect us"...My response:
And yet, 9/11 happened on Bush’s watch. The middle east is in the worst shape in decades if not EVER on Bush’s watch. Bin Laden, we aren’t even looking for him anymore, some effort to stop terrorism there. (not to mention the deficit, his belief in his conversations with God trumping science, and general incompetence). He has diminished America’s standing to such a degree that a despot like Putin (remember when Bush looked into his soul?) makes fun of him right to his face in front of the whole world.
He doesn’t analyze laws, he ignores them. Which is why Spector is going to sue him.
He will go down as the worst president ever.

Remember Conservativism?

My friends in Israel
Last week I mentioned two Israeli friends of mine. Just an update, one of them, (the younger single guy) was called to service and is apparently part of the force in/near Lebanon.
The person I learned this from is another Israeli who currently works inthe US, I've worked with her for years. She had called me this morning stressed out about the current job environment at my company and asked me toreview her resume before she started sending it around. In the course of conversation I ask how her family is doing. I know her sister is in Haifa (apparently all her family is). She said that they are trying to"get on with their day to day lives, going to work, etc". So I said,"Let me get this straight. You're more worried about your job than your family who is getting bombed all day long?"
she says "they don't bomb ALL day long".
I just laughed and pointed out the difference again between Israelis andthe everyone else in the world.

Incompetence
http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/07/17/russia.g8.bushexpletive/index.html
Oh, the President swore...big freakin deal. The HUGE point in this conversation is the utter impotence that Bush is displaying by saying "Ican't do anything until Kofi does". (he "thinks" Condi is going overthere? He thinks she is? Doesn't she work for him? Shouldn't heKNOW?)
For years we've heard how incompetent and useless the UN is andnow Annan is the only person that can do anything here. I guess the 6 years of Bush ignoring Israel/Palestinian issues isrearing its head. But hey, he almost got rid of the Taliban inAfghanistan, right? Some more of the Bush foreign policy magic.

Rove a traitor after all
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060712/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/cia_leak_novak_11
So, Rove is a traitor and put countless secret agents lives in danger,jeopardized numerous missions and will hurt who knows who manyAmericans. And Yet, Fitzgerald won't indict him...I guess he knew whatRove was going to do to Kenny Lay...

Times Square in New York City is busy day and night, yet it wasn't on aHomeland
Security Department assessment of potential threatened spots.
Instead, the department's database of vulnerable critical infrastructureand
key resources included the Old MacDonald's Petting Zoo nearHuntsville, Ala., a
bourbon festival, a bean festival and the Kangaroo Conservation Center in
Dawsonville, Ga. ...
Assets skewed
The report noted that Indiana has 8,591 assets listed in the database -more than any other state and 50 percent more than New York. New Yorkhad 5,687 listed. It did not detail which ones, but the Homeland Security assessment of New York this year failed to include Times Square, the Empire StateBuilding the Brooklyn Bridge or the Statue of Liberty as a national icon or monument.

I can see it now. Powell gets up there with his charts and recon photos.

Right here in this vile I have enough Fairy Dust to afflict theentire Western Seaboard". Hey, Bush has been playing footsie with them for 6 years when they admitthey have nukes and missiles to send them over here. Rather than dealing with the issue, he keeps pretending the ball is his and tryingto take it home. But it's NK who has the ball, they threw four of theminto the Sea of Japan yesterday.

So are you embarrassed that the North Koreans mock us and what do we do,go to the UN. Pathetic. I'm surprised the UN doesn't get the giggleswhen we speak there. Maybe they can force Colin Powell to do a return performance of lying.

I guess Bush doesn't need to ruin the Constitution

Hey, Bushie Friends...still waiting for the one example that you based your whole philosophy on. "give me one example where a state legislature actedoutside the interests of society and passed a law that wasoverwhelmingly opposed by its constituents".
You've had a week, I'dthink if you were basing your entire political philosophy on this idea SURELY you'd have been able to think of ONE.

Bush is like OJ
Remember when Bush said they we would not stop until we brought theperpetrators of 9/11 to justice? I guess that boast was sorta like OJsaying he wouldn't rest until he found out the killer of Nicole. Andnow they both spend their time on frivolous things. OJ golfing, andBush preventing boys from kissing.

Idiots
These politicians are idiots:
http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/06/29/intel.leaks.ap/index.html
Last week is was a non-binding resolution on whether you like Americaand now this piece of grandstanding. Every person in the world knows that Every Single bank transaction inthe US over $10K is reported to the FEDs. This is a well known abuse ofpower, but it's been going on a long time.
Do you REALLY think thatterrorists don't know their financial transactions are being watched?The US government has been talking about it for years. So, instead of doing any real Business these idiots are going wastermore time grandstanding, whle this country has real problems. Insteadof actually doing anything to prevent terrorist attacks (searchingshipping containers anyone?) they are going to blame a newspaper. Whatcrap.
This is shameful.
