Analysis: Bush's Mideast stance may flop
Gee, ya think??
Spreadin' democratude by sittin' on our pasty white asses, as "anger brews all across the Arab world."
The Bush administration may have badly miscalculated in insisting that any Mideast cease-fire be tied to long-term objectives. As the toll on Lebanese civilians has soared, even moderate Arab governments have turned into U.S. critics, and Hezbollah's support has climbed across the region.Even Bush poodle Tony 'Piddles' Blair joined with top republicans to call for a cease-fire, but the Decider decided he wuz gonna stick to his resolvitude, this bein' part of The War Against Terra an' all. Plus we want Syria an' Iran to get involved so we can go in there with Israel an' blow the bejebus outta 'em. Terrists. They're evil. Heh heh.
In a speech in Miami on Monday Bush showed that recent events, including the Qana killings, have had little impact on his position.An' neither will I! Now watch this drive!
He once again depicted Israel's battle with Hezbollah as part of a wider struggle against terrorism and declined to lay blame equally on both sides even as he mourned the loss of "innocent life" both in Israel and Lebanon.
"Israel is exercising its right to defend itself," Bush said. Separately, in an interview Monday with Fox News, Bush said, "stopping for the sake of stopping ... can be OK, except it won't address the root cause of the problem."
