In a story guaranteed to push any Liberal/progressive that is still sort of supporting Israel over Hamas in to the Hamas corner, President Bush tells whose fault the fighting is
George Bush today blamed the continuing violence in Gaza on Hamas terrorism and offered no criticism of Israel in his first comments since Israeli air strikes began a week ago.
The US president condemned Hamas’s campaign of rocket attacks on Israel as an “act of terror” and said no peace deal would be acceptable unless the flow of smuggled weapons to terrorist groups was monitored and stopped.
“This recent outburst of violence was instigated by Hamas, a Palestinian terrorist group supported by Iran and Syria that calls for Israel’s destruction,” he said.
See, what Bush should have done was blame it all on Israel, at which point all the moonbats with Bush Derangement Syndrome would have all of a sudden decided that Hamas is the bad guy and switched their normal support of any terrorist and/or America hating group/country to Israel.
“By spending its resources on rocket launchers instead of roads and schools, Hamas has demonstrated that it has no intention of serving the Palestinian people,” Bush said.
Ouch. Bush hijacks Liberal talking points to use against Hamas.
He also condemned Hamas for hiding within the civilian population. “Regrettably, Palestinian civilians have been killed in recent days,” he said.
Liberals won’t believe that. A good chunk of them believe groups like Hamas are little darlings, at least in comparison to Israel, which is the second worst country in the world in their minds, right behind the United States. Hamas using civilians as human shields? Na, couldn’t be.
