Dangerous policy for Mrs Bush in Middle East

Published on May 22, 2005 By COL Gene In Politics

It is hard to imagine the stupidity of our policymakers that scheduled Laura Bush to visit the Dome of the Rock. This is the place where Ariel Sharon touched off almost 4 years of bloody conflict with his visit to this holy site. The issue isn't whether Mrs. Bush or Mr. Sharon had the right to visit the Dome of the Rock but the wisdom of her visits given the situation in the Middle East and in the Muslim world. It is difficult to conceive how stupid the policy makers in this country are to allow Mrs Bush's visit to this place and create another anti-American incident. Think of the consequences if Mrs. Bush had been injured or taken hostage by some extreme Muslim faction.

I dunno. Do you think that was their plan...... tip the entire region into complete chaos, then .......... shit, I dunno what. Maybe they'll think of an exit strategy after they build a few permanent military basis. Yeah, that's it. That's the ticket!

In dubya's simple mind, he's probably thinking that it would be cheaper than a divorce.

Col if muslims can't handle someone visiting a "site" then they really are out of their minds. Someone needs to speak up and tell them they are crazy and to get a handle on their so-called religion.

And the stupidity never stops.

I am no political analyst but it does seem rather ill informed to send Mrs Bush over to the Dome of the Rock.

kind of a Duh move, who is giving this advice to Bush?
