Condi Rice, George Bush, Ehud Olmert And United Nations’ Gaza Resolution
Lately we’ve been hearing that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s claim he had influenced US President George W. Bush to direct Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to abstain on the measure she initiated and developed with European and Arab leaders to momentarily end the crisis in the Gaza Strip, was simply untrue.
We think that after nearly three weeks of unrelenting slaughter of people who are abused, forced to try to survive without water and corralled like cattle behind a big concrete wall, someone among the other so-called civilized nations of the world should present a resolution to halt the wholesale massacre of civilians, including children.
We think if the Bush State Department, (comprised of big Republican liars telling Big Republican lies) along with the media Talking Dogs are behaving as talking dogs are expected to behave; and if it turns out the Prime Minister of Israel’s version of what took place during last Thursday’s UN Security Council resolution vote on a Gaza cease-fire is in fact what happened, then Secretary Rice should have handled the matter like this.
Secretary Rice received the phone call from GWB, just moments before the vote was taken; Olmert says Bush was in Philadelphia about to deliver a speech when he called him. At Olmert’s behest Bush directed Rice to abstain on the cease-fire vote for the proposal she was instrumental in authoring. We think she should have assured him she would do what is best for the parties involved. With that she should have returned to the chamber and cast her ballot representing the United States, in favor of putting a temporary halt to the hostilities.
We imagine the scene upon her return to Washington when she is called in to explain her actions in direct opposition to the POTUS directive.
W: “Now Condi, why in the hell didn’t you abstain like I told you?”
Secretary Rice: “Mr. President in the best interest of the people of the Middle East it was important to achieve a cessation of the fighting. There’s enough going on there with our troops, more than 7,000 of them dead in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
W: “Do you realize Olmert’s people, the Iraelites and the American Israelites are hoppin’ mad about what you’ve done? They say they are vulnerable to attack by terrorists firing missiles into Israel!”
Secretary Rice:“With all due respect, Mr. President, the Israelis are in no danger from Hamas at this time. Besides you are looking for something to have as your legacy in that part of the world. Now you have one. You stood up to Isreal and you’re responsible for a temporary peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis. After all you’re leaving in less than a week. Your term in office will be over. It will no longer be your problem. The new president will handle it.
That’s our take on a very serious matter that is being reported like just so much entertainment Hollywood he said-she-said gossip. We are offended by Olmert’s and Bush’s actions. We are sorry to know Secretary Rice is so much the team player she followed her boss’ directive abstaining on the Gaza cease-fire resolution and the killing continues.
