Bush: "You Bet We'll Defend Israel" -

Bush: "You Bet We'll Defend Israel" - Glenn KesslerIsrael_usa_1
In an interview with Reuters Wednesday, President Bush said he is concerned about Iranian President Ahmadinejad's "menacing talk" about Israel. "Israel is a solid ally of the United States. We will rise to Israel's defense, if need be. So this kind of menacing talk is disturbing. It's not only disturbing to the United States, it's disturbing for other countries in the world, as well." Asked whether he meant the U.S. would rise to Israel's defense militarily, Bush said: "You bet, we'll defend Israel."  (Washington Post)

Gd bless you President Bush. You are indeed a righteous man. No vacillating, no flip flopping. Two countries that share the same values.....life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

...as U.S. foreign policy. It's not the first time Bush has stated America's position quite so clearly, but the message seems more stark in the face of mortal threats from Iran. And yet so few, conservative or liberal, seem willing... [Read More]

They said they got the instructions as a throw in when they bought some other black market items. What black market garage sale where they shopping at?

Since Gulf War I, the US has castrated Israel's sovereignty and right to defend itself.

I can't see why you're excited about being promised fish (maybe it'll show up on time, maybe it won't) when we have the capacity to fish for ourselves... if only US diplomats would get out of the way.

Pam, you seem to have no grasp of the principle of this matter.

There are times I think that the US really doesn't want the IDF involved because of the embarrassment factor and the possibility of demoralization from being shown up. I love our soldiers but there's a different edge when you're fighting for your lives.

Until US policy is to allow Israel to do what the Sudetenland got to do to Germans after WWII and to compel the reciprocal population transfer of 600,000 Arabs from Israel, Judea and Samaria into Jordan, Egypt, Syria and Lebanon -- with the same open enthusiastic acceptance that we supported the Hindu and Muslim transfers in the partition of Greater India into India and the two Pakistans -- we simply aren't thinking clearly and it doesn't help anyone to be a cheerleader in the meantime.

I'll be posting on my seeing and meeting Victor Davis Hanson here in Los Angeles last night... soon.

Bush is OK, but until he treats the State Department as being more dangerous to American interests than Ted Kennedy, Cindy Sheehan, the NY Times and tenured humanities professors combined, he's still far from completely comprehending the current situation.

At least Bush has responded to the question of whether we will support Israel with an enthusiastic "you bet." I think the Bush strategy has been to try to bring the rest of the world along as it relates to Israel by calling the Palestinians' bluff -- i.e., showing everyone that the destruction of Israel is their only real goal and the rest is just chatter.

The Palestinians are going into their fourth generation of people born and raised in self-imposed "refugee" camps. It's hard to see how anything short of a real war, which the Palestinians would lose, badly, will ever disabuse them of the idea.

Ayn Rand at 100: "Yours is the Glory"

  • Aynrandstamp_1

  • Speaking to the unnamed, unchampioned, beating heart of her new land, Ayn was to say: 'Yours is the glory.'"
    A man whose ability and independence leads others to reject him, but who perseveres nevertheless to achieve his values. Man as an individual, as a creator. What's the most depraved type of human being? Not a sadist or a murderer or a sex maniac or a dictator; "The man without a purpose." Yet most people seem to go through their lives without a clearly defined purpose.

  • Life has Loveliness to sell,
    All beautiful and splendid things,
    Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
    Soaring fires that sways and swing,
    And children's faces looking up,
    Holding wonder like a cup

    Life has Loveliness to sell,
    Music like a curve of Gold,
    Scent of pinetrees in the rain,
    Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
    And for your spirit's still delight,
    Holy stars that star the night.

    Spend all you have for loveliness,
    Buy it and never count the cost;
    For one white singing hour of Peace
    Count many a year of strife well lost
    And for a breath of ecstasy
    Give all you have been, or could be.
