“George W. Bush Is To Blame For The Current Gaza/Israeli War”
“I’m always amazed how quickly so many people are to condemn Israel for the violence in the Middle East, when many of them don’t have a clue as to what is really happening.”

“Around the world, we see these horrific images of bloodied bodies of Palestinians, but we never see the images of Israelis in the Southern part of Israel running into underground shelters every single day because Hamas launched rockets at them during the cease fire, and increased their attacks 10 fold since Hamas, not Israel, decided not to renew the cease fire.”

“But let’s go back a couple of years and look at the reason this is happening. . . .”

“So with the exception of extremists, Israel and the ‘State of Palestine’ were getting along fairly well and were working out land differences on their own.”

“Enter the lone ranger without a range, George W. Bush. . . .”

“Israel wants peace. The majority of Israelis either want a Palestinian State or realize the only way there will be peace for Israel, is a two state solution. . . .”

“Had George W. Bush not interfered with the peace negotiations between Abbas and Israel, there would probably be a free state of Palestine living peacefully next to Israel right now.”

“But Bush did what he does best; he has once again united the Arab world against us and Israel. And once again, facts be damned, everyone is blaming Israel, this tiny little country the size of New Jersey.”

“So as we curse this war and cry for the innocent lives lost on both sides and pray for peace, let’s put the blame where it belongs and hold George W. Bush accountable...just once.”

Sharon Cobb (a seasoned journalist, who worked as the Southeast correspondent for MSNBC online and contributor to NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw; Cobb is also a filmmaker and songwriter). (2008, December 30). George W. Bush Is To Blame For The Current Gaza/Israeli War. http://sharoncobb.blogspot.com/. Retrieved January 4, 2009, from http://74.125.45.132/search?q=cache:G5GbxFzm_Y4J:sharoncobb.blogspot.com/2008/12/george-w-bush-is-to-blame-for-current.html+george+bush+blamed+for&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=26&gl=us

George W. Bush is so devilish: it blows the American people away.

Look at all the problems Bush has caused in the Middle East.

Sharon Cobb is so correct: people should not blame Israel (it is only the size of New Jersey); people should blame Bush.

4. Ummm . . .
Edited on Sun Jan-04-09 07:50 PM by Believing_Is_Art
do things that took place before he was born count?

Edited to add: There's no doubt Bush is in large part at fault for the situation in the Gaza strip, but there's still some blame to go around even after his appropriate allocation. Pinning it all on Bush doesn't help the incoming administration understand how to solve the problem. Not 100% anyway.
