Look, my feelings on Bill Clinton have totally soured. But he was a fine diplomat back in the day. If Clinton couldn't pull it off with Arafat and Rabin, it ain't happening with Bush.

Not a goddamn thing is going to happen till Hamas gets the Flying Unicorns they were promised.

If they have nukular lazers, sure.

can someone photoshop this concept, it's vaguely appealing as an album cover.

I'll take Bears with Lazers over Hamas anyday of the week and twice on Sunday

Oh yes. There will be a Palestinian state. Right after we turn Iran into a giant radioactive glass crater.

Denzel Washington once wrote of George W Bush,

"he has the intelligence of a tree -- a mighty f'ing stupid oak tree"

Hmmm... if the pattern holds, Dubya's certainty is indirectly proportional to the likelihood of an event.

 
BMFPitt 2008-04-24 04:35:16 PM  
Sounds very reasonable. Why would it take more than 9 months? Maybe he should use some of the leftover time to cure cancer.

I think a bear holding a shark would be much more effective.

When is someone going to break down and tell Bush that he's leaving office in January... of next year??
His claim isn't all that difficult to understand once you realize that he thought he was like a Supreme Court Justice and served for life.

Why do we need another terrorist state? We haven't effectively dealt with North Korea or Iran.

windbag: Why do we need another terrorist state? We haven't effectively dealt with North Korea or Iran.

Ironically (to you at least), a Palestinian state that's stable, autonomous and recognized by Israel and the UN would probably do a lot of good towards lowering the support base for terrorist groups in the region.

 
tomhath 2008-04-24 04:39:19 PM  
If you read the article, he doesn't say a Palestinian state will exist by the end of his term.

But hey, if Jimmy Carter can get the Nobel Prize for ending violence between Israel and the Palestinians, maybe Bush can too. Seems he's been just about as effective.

 
skinink 2008-04-24 04:39:28 PM  
There's no need to get upset, until we are sure what his definition of a Palestinian is.

Aw, man, you're going to ruin the thread with all that "reading the article" stuff.

I remember I was in Paris during the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict in Lebanon and it was there I ran into a rally where they were flying Hezbollah's flag and (from what I could gather in my poor French) saying some pretty negative things about Israel. Even though I support Israel, I stuck around just because this was something you wouldn't really see in the States. Long story short, both I and these guys with a Hezbollah flag were chanting "Fark Bush" and could readily agree he's an idiot.

/My story for those who care.
//The only way Bush could unite Arabs and Jews, IMHO.

Diogenes: Look, my feelings on Bill Clinton have totally soured. But he was a fine diplomat back in the day. If Clinton couldn't pull it off with Arafat and Rabin, it ain't happening with Bush.

Of course, one of the reasons Clinton failed was because team Bush was in the background whispering in ears. This is similar to team Reagan basically negotiating for our hostages to be released after he was sworn in. Those bastards are crooked beyond belief.

The Palestinians were kicked out of their homes decades ago by their fellow Arab cousins. They've played the victim card and railed against Israel ever since. Giving people a state of their own who blame and bomb innocent people for trouble caused by someone else doesn't make much sense.

One lesson that politics has to teach is that the world doesn't run on logic, it runs on rallying cries. Israel bears the brunt of "keeping the Palestinians down". If the Palestinians get a state, it takes a lot of wind out of the sails of religious/political demagogues in the region.
