Reply #21: Bush trying to provoke attack?

[Comadreja]

In the months leading up to 9/11, Bush took his usual attitude of benign neglect towards Israel's depredations against Palestine, a major source of rage among ME terror groups. Now, in an election year, he smirkingly blesses The Butcher, Sharon, not only in the obscene killing of an elderly quadriplegic Hamas leader, but also on the permanent occupation and settlement of the West Bank. As if to emphasize the gross insult, Sharon goes home and orders the assasination of Rantisi, followed by more arrogant bloodthirsty gloating and threats. Could this insanity only be for Jewish votes? I think he hopes for a lot more sinister developments.
