Does Shrub read my stuff or what? Or did they read Kerry's platform and decide to make sure that even if Bush Inc. loses the White House, there was no way in hell a liberal foreign policy could ever be impemented for at least a generation

Christian Science Monitor:

...Mr. Bush would shatter the historic role of the United States as the primary Middle East mediator...

The "Plan" will not work with Shrub in office:

1. Restart the Roadmap to Palestine/Israel peace.
2. Get NATO to help with Iraq security.
3. Expose and Shun the Saudi, Syrian and Iranian link to terrorists.
4. Go back to the UN, & pump Iraq's oil to pay for reconstruction.
5. Rejoin the Community of Nations to bring all humanity a better life, not just our own profits.

Powell blew #2 Sunday. #1 will be dead by weeks end. #3 and #4 are unprofitable for Haliburton et al. And #5 -- I doubt the world would have us anymore, just tolerate us and try to ignore us like you would any spoiled bully.

More from CSM:

This week, President Bush is expected to wink approval of a plan by Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon that would start to dictate to Palestinians the land they can have and the land they can't.

Bush's blessing of it would only leave an impression among Palestinians and Arab nations that the US is all too willing to defer the creation of a Palestinian state.

OK, So Arafat can't be dealt with, we know that now (as if there was ever a doubt). So why have the RepubLikuds let him live?

This is more that a Bush Flip/Flop. This once again proves the callous disregard Shrub has for even pretending to keep his word. Right on the very eve of the Iraq war, as if everyone didn't know it was a cheap political ploy, Bush stood there, with Blair and the Spainish PM, and said with a straigt face that even with all the trouble with Iraq, they were not abandoning the road map...blah...blah...riiight George.

With this, ABM. and Iraq, this appointed incompetant, the Resident-in-Thief, this unaccountable turd has thrown away sixty years of good will and credibility for our foreign service. Good thing I didn't follow my other desired career path into the state department. I'd already be writing my tell-all book.

These Cynical Hypocritical Bastards! I don't even want to debate the merits of the policy. Maybe it's time, maybe it'll be a disaster. Maybe I don't care anymore when my leader spits in my eye and tells me it's raining. I don't care if he does it during a hurricane, he spit in my eye once to many times and I want him off my island. The Tribe Has Spoken!!!
