No, but it pays for the 10,000+ cops walking around with him and that means security. Anyway who said he's going to gaza. I thought just Ramallah.

I heard Gaza also. Either way you think all those cops are any match for a katyusha or a kassem?

I hope it doesnt involve catching it in their teeth, cuz it would hurt.

Secret service is wonderful if a lone gunman shows up with a .22 and one of them "takes a bullet" for the president (and covers up the scratch later with a band-aid) but when it comes down to it, quite useless in the face of a RPG or rocket attack.

I would estimate I stare at each ball a third of the time I'm staring at the juggling. In this case it was only a couple of minutes because a phone call pulled me away.

My understanding is that he's not going to Gaza, but if he did, he would be safe. Even the people there won't risk annihaltion to prove a point, and shooting Bush would mean just that. Then again, maybe that's why he isn't going there.

I doubt the secret service would allow the president to risk his life going to Gaza. They will probably send in a double.
they are careful to get the double drunk enough that nobody will get suspicious why Bush sounded "so much smarter than usual"

I actually did that during work the other day, but I kept typing...I woke up like 30 seconds later with three lines of gibberish...would've been funnier if my fingers would've been aligned properly, I wonder what I was trying to type.

Actually it was Gore that got the Cs and Ds in Harvard... Bush went to Yale! See for yourself.
Bezalel99
"Bush deliberately used a loaded term — occupation — to describe Israeli military control over the West Bank, the territory that would eventually form the bulk of an independent Palestinian state. "This is how Bush described the opening point for peace negotiations:

" 'There should be an end to the occupation that began in 1967.' "


So I guess he ignores the fact that G-d gave the land to the Jews, thousands of years ago, and that the Arabs are the ones who are wrongly occupying the land?

Nope. Given his fundamentalist Christian beliefs I'd guess he fullheartedly believes that G-d gave the land to the Jews, thousands of years ago, and then took it away from them in the 1st century.

btw, G-d giving EY to the Jews is not a fact, it's a belief, and there's a difference.
