Bush An "Appeaser," Says Egyptian Press

So, now 'the decider' who accused others of being 'appeasers' has fallen victim of his own words... again. Is anyone else sick of this sycophant dominating the global media as a representation of the rest of US? He makes US thinking folk look bad.

Bush An "Appeaser," Says Egyptian Press, Critics Raise Questions About Credibility Of U.S. Role In Middle East - CBS News
Egypt's state-owned press opened fire Saturday on U.S. President George W. Bush as he arrived for talks with regional leaders at the conclusion of a five-day Mideast tour.

The newspapers, whose management are all appointed by the government, criticized Mr. Bush's speech Thursday in front of the Israeli Knesset for being overly supportive of the Israelis and not mentioning the Palestinians' plight.

"The Torah-inspired speech of Bush raised question marks over the credibility of the U.S. role in the Middle East," wrote Mursi Atallah, the publisher of Al-Ahram, the flagship daily of the state-owned press. "Bush aims to do nothing but appeasing Israel."


So, the state owned media of the country who is considered the primary peace broker of the Middle East questions the 'credibility' of one of the biggest liars that US Politics has ever known as the Egyptian government itself maintains its diplomatic dignity. Is the a lesson there for anyone, George?...

A front page editorial in Al-Gomhouria, another Egyptian state-owned daily, described Mr. Bush as "a failed president who delivers nothing but a lousy speech."

Akhbar Al-Youm also on Saturday published a picture of Mr. Bush hugging Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and captioned it "lovers."

The paper also ran a front page cartoon showing an Egyptian peasant consoling President Hosni Mubarak for having to meet with "this burdensome guy who will be leaving soon," in reference to Mr. Bush.


Looks like a duck, walks like a duck... And he isn't leaving soon enough!

On Friday, Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal commented on Mr. Bush's speech by saying its understandable that U.S.-Israel relations are special but "it is, however, important also to affirm the legitimate and political rights of the Palestinian people."


Diplomatic finesse read 'Bush is a tool'.

When you see others’ errors and you want to guide them because you think they are wrong and you feel compassion for them, you should employ tact to avoid angering them, and contrive to appear as if you were talking about something else.

-Tact, Dogen
...

Mr. Bush is seen in the Arab world as somebody who tilts heavily toward Israel. And that was pretty apparent yesterday when he was in Saudi Arabia asking, among other things, for the Saudis to pump more oil in the hopes that that might help bring down gas prices in the U.S.

The Saudis gave him a polite but firm "No."

Plante said the White House tried to spin that by saying, "Well, look, it is really not a problem of oil from the Saudis or anywhere else, it is the problem of refining capacity and high prices driven by speculation" - all which may be true, but the White House has to admit as it does regularly there is no short-term solution to the problem of high gas prices.


When, oh when, will this imbecile and his minions sit down and shut up?

He is like an addict being cut off by his dealer!

I can see him in the defendants box in the World Court now. If we thought that Saddam represented his self as a caricature, I can hardly wait to see this idiot! Should be fun.
