#1 Bush appeared to endorse the panels conclusion that any resolution of the Iraq conflict is tied to reducing tensions between Israel and the Palestinians

I'm not worried because I've complete confidence in our US friends.

#3 "Bush said that he would only welcome Iran and Syria to group talks on Iraq if they agree to end support for extremists and to help Baghdads fledgling government."

-Political speak for "people in hell should have ice water to."

#4 Middle East problems are based on Muslim-Kafir tenstions, and not Israeli-Paleo. Baker is strategically myopic.

#5 I'm taking the word "appeared" literally there, grom. Watch what the hand does, not what the mouth says.

For example, notice the kinder language the media uses on the Iran/Syria situation (he would only welcome....), but read Bush's quote, "...then they shouldn't bother to show up." Good quote from Bush being shaded by the kindler/gentler colored glasses of the MSM.

#6 The point I'm trying to make is this...Bush has been COMPLETELY open and honest with ALL of his plans for the WoT thusfar, and the MSM has tried to kill him with death by a thousand cuts.

Maybe, just maybe, Bush is now switching gears. "Bluffing" if you will. NOT outlining his plans in plain English like he has before, but keeping his cards closer to his chest (and yet, actually IMPLEMENTING those plans all the same). He knows the LLL and the MSM are stacked against him, so why not start talking more "diplo-speak", but continue on in the same course we've been taking behind the scenes?
