Bush rejects any partial withdrawal by Syria
2005-03-04
President Bush on Friday flatly rejected any partial withdrawal of Syrian troops from Lebanon, saying he will not accept the kind of "half-measures" Damascus is expected to propose as a compromise. "There are no half-measures at all," Bush said during an event here on his Social Security proposals. "When the United States and France say withdraw, we mean complete withdrawal, no halfhearted measures," he said. During a speech Saturday to his parliament, Syrian President Bashar Assad was expected to announce a troop pullback to eastern Lebanon near the Syrian border -- but not a full withdrawal, according to Syrian and Lebanese officials. "We need to see action, not words," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said a day ahead of that speech.

#5  He wanted to capture the essence of it before his crystal ball gets all fuzzy.

The problem is... he tuned into an alternate reality.

Anyway... human affairs are an untamable critter. Too many variables for any global conspiracy theory to work. In 1984, I thought that the USSR would last about another quarter of century. The satellites folded 1989, and it folded in 1991.
Who would have thought on 9/10/2001 that Saddam Hussein and his sons would be out of picture a couple of years later?

#3  Dubya had better watch his six more closely than ever - the anti-USA International Lefts work in close coordination. Hillary may want to be POTUS, and for America to be under Communism-Socialism and OWG,but her and Bill are also about easy street i.e. being in power at someone else's work or expense. America must be under Communism and OWG, while the Commies own mercs Radical Islam must inevitably be destroyed also so as not to present any future challenge to OWG/Communist World Order as ruled from Russia-China! The Clintons are in support of Bush and GOP AMerica going after Radical Islam while hoping for a PC "New 9-11" on America which will PC = Deniably wipe out Dubya and the Republicans, ala President Kerry and DNC Chairman - future POTUS Dean, with prim-and-proper Commie Hillary as Betty Crocker/EveryWoman hiding in the shadows, not linked to anything!? It makes no difference to the Clintons and the Failed Lefts iff Dubya is assassinated, forced to resign in controversy, andor retires - America will still be suborned/ wiped out no matter what GOP or Dem is in the WH!
