Bush pledges 'unwavering support' of Israel
U.S. president tells American Jewish Committee on its 100th anniversary: 'America's commitment to Israel's security is strong, enduring and unshakeable'

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3247344,00.html

<snip>

"American President George Bush promised Friday to take an aggressive stand against the Hamas government, to press for a "difficult decision" to be taken in the U.N's Security Council on the Iranian nuclear issue, and to safeguard Israel's security without wavering.

Bush said and his government would have no contact with Hamas leaders of the Palestinian government until the group recognizes the Jewish state.

"America's commitment to Israel's security is strong, enduring and unshakeable," Bush said in a speech in Washington, speaking to the American Jewish Committee, which is marking its 100th anniversary.

The U.S. president said that Israel and the United States were "natural allies and these ties will never be broken."

1. speak for yourself, Chimpy!
What about those of us who just don't want to pledge loyalty to Israel or tie the fate of our own country to any foreign power?

2. And it's also peculiar how he sucks up to the pope
I wonder how the larger circles of influence actually work? Must have something to do with the One World Order and the Trilateral Commission and the Illuminati.:tinfoilhat:

3. All politicians have to do it at least twice a year.
It's in the Constitution or something.

4. Well, he has to 'unwaveringly support' somebody
Goodness knows he's not wasting any time or effort supporting America. Between the rape of the environment, the ruin of our armed forces, and the pillaging of the economy and treasury, it's a wonder there'll be anything left after that bastard goes back home.

Assuming he does.

5. He speaks of Israel as if it were the US.
Shouldn't we refrain from worshiping a country that is not our own?

Well, I know I can't count on anything he says making sense...

6. We are certainly not natural allies of Israel.
Whatever that means. I really wish the Ottoman Empire still ruled all that area so we wouldn't have all these fucking headaches. They were a tolerant empire for centuries (save for their sudden and strange assaults on the Armenians beginning ca. 1895 or so).

9. I wish he supported the United States that way.
I guess we have to fight Iran for them too, and then Syria, etc.
