Bush didn't, but McCain did

Soccer Dad references Rick Richman's call for President Bush to go to Sderot when he visited Israel. He didn't, for whatever reason, but McCain did. Today.

via Soccer Dad: McCain takes pro-Israel stance in Sderot

US Republican presidential candidate John McCain on Wednesday showed vigorous support for Israel, where he made a highly symbolic visit to a town hit by near-daily rocket fire from Gaza. "No nation in the world can be attacked incessantly and have its population killed and intimidated without responding," McCain said in the southern town of Sderot, where he visited a house hit by a rocket fired by Islamists in the Gaza Strip, just a few kilometres (miles) away.

"Seeing it first-hand, the situation here is one that is very compelling," McCain told reporters in Sderot after touring the town with Defence Minister Ehud Barak. "Nine hundred rocket attacks in the last three months; this puts an enormous strain on everyone here, especially the children."

Is he pandering to Jews? Undoubtedly. And would I vote for a man who went to Sderot and told Jews what they need desperately to hear? Absolutely.

In other news, no doubt considerably bolstered by a gift of $150 million from the United States of America, one of the top Arab "negotiators" in the "peace process" with Israel, accused Israel of breaching her Road Map commitments. There is no mention at the PLO's Palestine Media Center of if or when the Arabs might "end armed activity and all acts of violence against Israelis anywhere" or when they might get started ending their official institutional incitement against Israel, both as called for "at the outset of Phase I" of the Road Map.

As it turns out, unlike the Israelis, no one expects Arabs to keep their promises. And why should they, when they get everything they want and more, without keeping promises, without making any concessions, and without stopping killing Jews?

Those guys really know how to "negotiate."

I can't wait until we see James Baker back in Israel again! James should be proud that his mission (to fulfil Bush 41's promises to the Arabs made prior to the Gulf War)is almost accomplished......the Final Solution to the Arab Israeli conflict is just a few heartbeats away. Gosh! I sure do hope that Maverick will continue to train and arm Israel's enemies...they'll need all the help they can get when the fighting starts. My son is now serving in the Army. I'll never support those who would enable our enemies to take hi life.
