I believe that he is the one candidate that will not let the State Dept tell him what to do as we have seen in the past.
Something in the water in the State Dept changed the views of Colin Powell and Secretary Rice. Both had originally not been on the same page of the State Dept till they came to Washington. Then it became Dejavu all over again. "Israel must make concessions". Name one country that was attacked and won land and has been told for over 60 years.."Give it back".
Israel is the last place the Jews have as a sanctuary as anti-semitism not only is blatant in Europe and England but here on all the college campuses again and again. Who speaks out against it?
How could Pres. Bush think there would be peace after the Israelis left the Gaza in good faith and look what happened there. Now there is a terrorist state on one side yet he wants the West Bank and the Golan Heights as well.
The Israelis best wake up and get some of our wealthy Jews in the U.S. to have a concert for them and do some fundraising and rebel against the wishes of the U.S. Bad enough Pres. Bush is supplying so many arms to the Middle East for them to use against Israel if they fall into the wrong hands.
How many good hands consider Israel a friend in the Middle East or even in this country? Listen to the callers on c-span and you will not find many.
