Bush: 'Worth it to try' on Mideast peace

WASHINGTON - Hours after opening a Mideast conference, President Bush said Tuesday he was worried about the consequences if the search for peace failed but declared, "It is worth it to try."

Bush cautioned it would take time for Israelis and Palestinians to reach an agreement. The goal is to reach an accord within 14 months by the end of Bush's presidency.


Are you fucking kidding me!!!! 14 months!!!! Excuse me I have to puke!!!





On other issues Bush said:

—Vice President Dick Cheney is "in good shape" despite a history of heart problems, including an episode of atrial fibrillation Monday that was corrected when doctors administered an electric shock to restore his normal heartbeat. Bush said his father had a similar condition and "jumped out of an airplane at age 83."

If only Cheney would do the same!!!


In opening the high-stakes Mideast peace conference, Bush read a joint agreement among Israeli and Palestinian leaders who pledged to reach a peace pact by the end of 2008. Negotiations would begin within weeks to establish a democratic Palestinian state that will live alongside Israel.

Oh thats good.....

Negotiations on the joint statement had broken down Monday night over one paragraph that the parties believed went too far into issues that are to be negotiated.

No way!! Just when you thought the negotiations were going good.


On Tuesday morning, Bush pulled Abbas and Olmert aside to impress upon them the need to issue a joint statement at the conference, and representatives from all three sides were dispatched from a larger meeting of the principals and their advisers to finish drafting it. They came to an agreement about 25 minutes later by simply taking out the disputed paragraph.

Wow that was easy!! Maybe it would only take 14 months to reach an agreement if the Israelis and Palestinians used this method to solve problems....... Ya think????
