Abbas - "Bush exploded with anger"

[DoYouEverWonder]

Chris Wallace shouldn't not have asked Clinton a question, that he did not want to hear the answer to. Under the circumstances, Clinton had every right to defend himself and his record. It's funny to hear the talking air heads all in a dither because Clinton got angry. How dare he?

Yet, Bush is angry all the time and that's okay. Bush is angry, demeaning and abusive every chance he gets. Even in the middle of high level peace negotiations he has to act like an asshole.

Remember the famous quote before the 2004 election, where Bush told the Israelis and Palestinians "If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them." Of course, without US leadership everything fell apart and things have gone from bad to worse instead.

Well here's the rest of the story behind Bush's rude remarks. Apparently, Bush must have been in a real pissy mode for these serious and crucial negotiations. So much for bringing peace and democracy to the Middle East.

`Road map is a life saver for us,' PM Abbas tells Hamas

Selected minutes acquired by Haaretz from one of last week's cease-fire negotiations between Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas and faction leaders from the Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Popular and Democratic Fronts, reveal some of the factors at play behind the scenes in the effort to achieve a hudna.


Abbas opened the session after hearing scathing criticism from faction leaders for his Aqaba speech in which he defined their activities as "terrorism." He began with a broad review of his two meetings with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and the Aqaba summit.

Abbas emphasized that at that stage he made clear to the participants at the Sharm summit that "we need time and capabilities to stand on our feet. And I explained that I had already spoken with Ariel Sharon about reaching a hudna between all the Palestinian factions." According to Abbas, "Bush exploded with anger and said `there can be no deals with terror groups.' We told him that they are part of our people and we cannot deal with them in any other way. We cannot begin with repression, under no circumstances, and I made clear to Bush that Sharon already agreed with that."

Abbas said that at Aqaba, Bush promised to speak with Sharon about the siege on Arafat. He said nobody can speak to or pressure Sharon except the Americans.

According to Abbas, immediately thereafter Bush said: "God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them."

1. Got that right. Where is the criticism of Bush's constant

rudeness? "Will you let me finish?" when all know he's just going to repeat the SOS... the bulging eyes and aggressive body language.... Clinton's sin was that he didn't stutter when challenged as the Pretzel always does.

For the millionth time, liberal media MY ASS.

[indepat]

5. And rude behavior (lady German minister) which would get most of us fired;

how many MSM talking heads spewed on and on about that?

[crim son]

11. He is simply immune to serious criticism.

It boggles the f***ing mind.

[pooja]

2. What god told him to do what? Certainly not my God.

8. When I was growing up

if someone claimed they had voices in their head telling them to do things, they would Baker Act you.

10. Well it really is a shame God

didn't tell the little freak to pay attention to all the warning signs BEFORE 9/11 and to TRY to stop them before all the death and destruction - but apparently the little devil in chief LOVES death and destruction....

3. And Condi "boils over' instead of "throws a tantrum" or "acts pissy"

[malaise]

4. This fugger takes responsibilit for

nothing. He'll even blame his god for his fugging folly.

[DemonFighterLives]

6. Those passages show how incompetent the knucklehead

in chief is. He never gave the I/P situation any more than a passing thought which actually must have been prepared for him- road map.

He was more concerned with his grip on power and besides that, death in the Middle East get's him off.
:argh:

7. Whose God would instruct them to go out and kill a bunch of people?

This Bush is a freak.........and a lunatic.

9. He is the opposite side of the same coin as the jihadists. They

want to kill for their own power, at the behest of their god and so does Dictator Bush. The jihadists accept the fact that for their purposes many innocent people will be killed in their actions and so does the Dictator Bush. For the jihadists any means are justified for their holy ends and it is the same with Dictator Bush. In the end, the jihadists can only measure their worth in the blood of their victims and the same is true with Dictator Bush...
