Fu to us foreign policy

[OAS]

Why are we sitting here wondering why Dubya has completely fucked up dealing with the Israelis? Israel’s defiance of Bush’s wishes to pull out of the West Bank has severely weakened our position in the Middle East. The Arab world has snubbed the Bush Administration and our inability to control the Israeli government has convinced the Arab world that they must deal with Israel directly. Sharon has made a huge mistake in demonstrating that Israel will act on it’s own in a way it sees fit. We have lost all credibility in the region. Dubya is a looser. His decent performance in the days after 9/11 are long since behind him. He has no foreign policy skills and his double talk has confused even our staunchest allies. He continues to try to build a case against Sadaam, and Sadaam plays him against world opinion like a school child. We are exposing our weakness to the world. The weakness is that we cannot support a sustained conflict against an enemy in that region because we have no place to stage and launch an offensive without support of nations in the region. The Arab world will not support an offensive against an Arab brother. The price they paid for doing it last time was too great. Dubya does not see this and allows Israel to weaken our position with them. Once the Arab world starts an offensive against Israel, it will be bloody and Israel will loose. The US will not be able to defend Israel without significant loss of American lives and American interests in the region.
