In other words, you’d rather hold him personally responsible for decades of established US mideast foreign policy than acknowledge the adult level complexity of the real world. Also, the President doesn’t appropriate money, Congress does that.

Somewhere along the line, Congress passed money to the Palestinians. They didn’t for a time, but then they did. However, if I remember correctly, Bush gave the money to FATAH. Not to Hamas. Not that that gives me a warm fuzzy, but there is a difference. Abbas/Fatah isn’t launching missiles. The West Bank has another set of issues surrounding land rights.

Are we going to send in monitors into Gaza to be sure that what they say will be built, will be built? We gonna stay there to be sure they don’t become weapons factories? Like hell.

I like the guy, but this is awful.
