Murder 6,000 Americans - blame Israel and forget about it

[Robert Furst]

The Honorable George W. Bush, President of the United States,

Regarding a statement made by the President on Sept. 20, 2001

"It [the war on terrorism] will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped, and defeated"

Does the President imply that he is bowing to the Saudi's prerequisites and I quote the Associated Press

"We will not agree, under any conditions, to strikes against brotherly states, like Syria, or groups that resist the Israeli occupation, like Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hizbullah."
Saudi Foreign Ministry

that terror groups like Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hizbullah are off limits?

As I listened to Bush last night, he left out Israel s as one of the populations of the world that grieved for America. Notice THAT? Israel was lumped in to the "others". Next except for a few new magaizines, the Glick boy that proplably saved either the Capitol or the White House bty challanging the Terrorists is never featured on TV as the Hero is was, nor did HIS family get a seat of honor at the speech last night. The word "Israel" , the only real friend of the US and the only real Democracy in this part of the world, came out of his mouth..maybe TWICE. He did NOT put his arms around the traumatized Israel or Jews that may or may not be being harrased also in the US and Canada. Does this "send a message"? that Israel will be slowly but surely dropped? by the US? Think it does.

Yes, I noticed that and was very surprised that Bush neglected to mention the day of mourning declared by Israel and the solidarity gathering at Rabin square.

On the other hand, he sure did repeat the term "our Arab friends" several times, and how Islam is so great.

This was not an accident.
