Ouch

Every time President Bush says or does something stupid, I think "after this, nothing this man says or does will surprise me." Unfortunately, I stand corrected - again.

Today in a press conference, President Bush called for the end of the "occupation" of Arab lands by Israel. Huh??? That may be the biggest crock of hypocrisy I've ever seen. When the President of the United States of America looks in the mirror and thinks about ending occupations of Arab land, he thinks of . . . Israel?

I'm not commenting on the merits of the war here, but does he not see how that might be an odd statement for the U.S. Commander-in-Chief to make while standing at a podium in the West Bank?

We're 88% through his tenure as President.

He's pandering to the Arab media by using terminology they use. Most Arabs already hate Bush so much, they'll never believe anything he says anyways.
