ISRAELI BOMBS HAMMER GAZA
It is time to speak the obvious unspoken truth when it comes to the timing of Israel’s hammering attack on Gaza and Hamas. It was calculated and coordinated with the waning days and eventual exit of an unpopular President of the United States of America. No, coordinated does not mean it was done in concert with the US, it means that President Bush could take the hit. It means, that if the Israeli government wanted to hit Gaza and Hamas, they could not risk doing so under the watch of a popular President Obama and his pro-Israel Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton and risk even their mild criticism for a military undertaking that is now being questioned for its intensity and duration. It means, that once the civilian Palestinian casualties began to out weigh Israel’s purposes, a President Obama would certainly have to stand for the change that swept him into office and demand diplomacy. If Israel waited, this call for diplomacy, of course, would happen far before they would be able to accomplish it’s pounding goal on Hamas. One of these goals being a brutal lesson; for every one rocket you fire we will match with one hundred bombs. Justified or not, it is a lesson that could only be detonated while the sitting President’s approval numbers could go no lower if he took no action. Read more...

One sunny day in 2009 an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue , where he’d been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, ‘I would like to go in and meet with President Bush. The Marine looked at the man and said, ‘Sir, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here.’ The old man said, ‘Okay’ and walked away.
The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, ‘I would like to go in and meet with President Bush. ‘The Marine again told the man, ‘Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here.’ The man thanked him and, again, just walked away.
The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same U. S. Marine, saying ‘I would like to go in and meet with President Bush. ‘The Marine, somewhat agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, ‘Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Bush. I’ve told you already that Mr. Bush is no longer the president and no longer resides here. Don’t you understand? ‘The old man looked at the Marine and said, ‘Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it.’
The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, ’See you tomorrow.’
