Bush is at it again, displaying total ignorance of the reality of the situation. From Tom Raum, AP via Yahoo are the details.

Declaring a “moment of choice” in the Middle East, President Bush said Monday he would call Israel, the Palestinians and others in the region to a peace conference aimed at restarting stalled talks and moving faster toward a Palestinian state.

Those talks will lead them absolutely nowhere as Hamas is in control and desires the destruction of Israel. How can you have talks without including them?

Such a session could result in Israelis sitting at the same conference table as countries such as Saudi Arabia that do not recognize Israel diplomatically.

Would they even sit down at the same table with Israel? Jews, Israelis aren’t even allowed in their countries. Where would they get together? Enquiring minds want to know.

Bush said the conference, open to countries in the region that support a two-state solution to the long Israeli-Palestinian standoff, would be headed by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

That would be Israel, the U.S. and who else? Countries in the region support the destruction of Israel. Surprised Bush hasn’t figured that out.

He also pledged more U.S. financial support for the moderate Palestinian government of Mahmoud Abbas and called for the convening of a group of “donor” countries to increase international financial aid, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan.

Oh yes, let’s give more money to Abbas so that when Hamas takes over the West Bank, they’ll just have that much more. It’ll all end up in Hamas’ hands anyway. Why that escapes Bush’s brain is another unknown. When will we face up to the hard truth. The Arabs have always wanted Israel’s destruction and any attempt at talks will only underscore that.

Right of return will be a given, a mandatory requirement of the Arabs meant solely to destroy Israel from within as they plot to destroy Israel from without. Peace talks when they are modestly successful succeed in carving up Israel into smaller and smaller bits to…

wait for it…

destroy Israel.

Is it any wonder I blog the news less lately as nothing ever changes.
