"That vision thing"Emanuel A. Winston, Mid East Commentator & Analyst |

Like his father, George W. Bush is engaging in "That Vision Thing". Only this time George W. Bush is experimenting with the lives of Jews on the off chance that Muslim Arabs can be civilized. His "Vision" is based on absolutely no evidence or experience that Muslims can be weaned away from their blood-lust, murderous pagan religion that allows for no other. All other religions are viewed as irreconcilable enemies. Real Peace was not ever tolerated but, only a "Hudna" or temporary truce - unless one side won a battle conclusively, usually slaughtering the men while selling the women and children into slavery. George Bush is experimenting with the lives of the Jewish people whom he praised, fulsomely, in his speech May 14th. Bush wishes to leave office with a foot-note in the history books as his legacy that he made another Muslim Arab country called "Palestine". You might think that a president with German ancestry who similarly experimented with the lives of Jews and similarly employed by German industry in slave labor would be reluctant to expose the Jewish State and her people to a hateful, barbarous people. In the Bush "Vision Thing", he dismisses the unending pledges by the Arab Muslims to occupy Israel and kill all of her Jews. Even as Bush makes speeches as he visits Israel during her 60th birthday anniversary, the Muslim Arab Palestinian Terrorists of both Fatah and Hamas are launching Kassam Rockets, Missiles and suicide attacks into Israel. Worse yet, he has employed a crooked Prime Minister to do his bidding while calling him an "honest man" - as Olmert is facing his fifth or sixth charge of illegal, fraudulent behavior. Is this then Bush’s delusional "Vision Thing" of "Peace, where there is no Peace"? Bush and Condoleezza Rice have observed the "Mujahadin" (Holy Warriors - a mix of Muslim Jihadists) who keep attacking, killing and maiming American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. They observe Syrian-backed Hezb’Allah successfully destroy the Lebanese government and yet insist that Israel accept his "Vision" and likely die for his word. Granted, Israel’s present government may be the sickest, most crooked that Israel ever had but, to sell out a people hunted almost to extinction is a new low low. But, no less warped is the pro-Arab Bush-Rice government perfectly willing to sell out Israel in a useless gesture to an Islamic world of sheer hate. These two make Neville Chamberlain look like a visionary genius. There is the expectation that Olmert, driven by a Leftist ideology to de-Judaize Israel through re-partition will make an extraordinary offer to abandon much of Israel. The Perfidy of this crooked Prime Minister, in cahoots with a President whose family is inextricably linked to the Saudis is a tremendous demonstration of betrayal. President Bush is going to speak before the Israeli Knesset (Parliament) and try to pull off a Sadat-style "tour de force". Sadat got the Sinai, the oil fields developed by the Israelis, the airfields, road infrastructure and an $18 Billion dollar Israeli investment in Sinai infrastructure. What did Israel get for this sacrifice? Only the temporary absence of War for as long as America paid Sadat and later Mubarak $2 Billion a year for a cold peace. Egypt’s President Mubarak put that $2 Billion dollars a year into building his military into the colossus of the Middle East. That’s approximately $60 to $70 Billion worth of high tech weapons - ready to go to war and guess with whom. Trusting the Bush family with James Baker III and the multi-national oil companies is like petting a black mamba snake. Knowing the Knesset, they will fawn and applaud but none will ask even one penetrating question. After writing the preceding, I caught the Fox News broadcast covering President Bush’s speech to a large Israeli audience. It was brief, well-written by professional speech writers, entirely devoid of the problems such as a missile landing today in Ashkelon, striking a medical clinic, injuring at least 14 with the actual casualty numbers yet to be revealed and reports still coming in. Some reports range from 78 to 100 civilians injured - including a baby girl. The Grad rocket crashed through the roof of the Ashkelon mall Wednesday and is believed to have carried a message from Tehran to visiting U.S. President George W. Bush that Iran’s arm was long enough to reach an American presence anywhere. Yesterday the Terrorist Kassam Rockets killed a 70 year old woman in her own home. So, on Thursday May 15th, can we expect the full blown double cross as Olmert and Bush speak to the Knesset and tell the Jewish nation how they have arranged a national suicide mission for Israel? Note: Reports on the attack in Ashkelon of a Grad Rocket are still coming in. The comments in Bold are additional to the original article.
