Gasbag Condeleezza Rice is back...in the Middle East

Secretary of State Condeleezza Rice like a bad penny has turned up again in the Middle East to jump start the dead in the water negotiations [sic] between Israel and the Palestinian authority. She didn't first scurry to Tel Aviv, but to Cairo to lecture Hosni Mbarek to put pressure on Gaza's Hamas. The Egyptian rais doesn't cotton up to Hamas the more especially since it's ties with the Muslim Brotherhood which is causing him no end of trouble internally. But he won't help school ma'rm
Rice. How can he? He politically and perhaps personally cannot stand by and allow the rabid out of control Olmert government carry out a war to cleanse Gaza of Hamas. The feckless world media reports that gasbag Rice raised her old maidish finger at Olmert, saying naughty, naughty, naughty...behave yourself! Fat chance, that! Once again as if the Palestinians, the Arabs, the Muslims world over, and we the on the line spectators need reminding, Herr Bush's soul mate in religion is giving unconditional support to anything Israel does. Does this bag of wind expect her charm and even toneless prose will nudge Mahmoud Abbas back to the table to discuss a peace treaty with Olmert. You've got to be laughing up your sleeve, old tattered windsock of a damanged Republican president. The Israeli won't discuss anything of substance...won't talk of east Jerusalem, not stop building of settlements on the west bank or for that matter in east Jerusalem, nor try to deal with the right of return of those Palestinians chased off their land 60 years ago. For the Zionists it's our way or no way...and for now it's now way short of full scale warfare we're witnessing in Gaza, because like Judas Machabee the Hamas leadership refuses to be crushed under the iron boot of Israel. Olmert is no Titus, even though he has the full support of Herr Bush. Israel is already rotting from within owing to corruption, decadence of the overconfident, and a Zionist ideology which has its roots in the same German romanticism that feed Hitler and his band of anti Semites. This time the victims are Semites but Arabs. And the gasbag who fronts for Herr Bush throws her support to them. Little wonder she won't succeed.
