Bush says Attack on Israel is "An Act of Terror"

[nodope0695]

The U.S. sold Jordan's army Patton tanks and other weapons, I'm sure. But to say the U.S. "backed" the Jordanian army is stretching it a bit. If a gun store owner sold me a gun I then used to rob a bank, did he "back" my efforts?

Its clear from history that the Palestinians are chief aggressors in this ongoing conflict, and it would seem the common thread is the destruction of Israel, even if it means fighting fellow Arabs to do it.

How much of their land did they take? Does Jordan still hold entire Palestinian cities in concentration camps and put embargoes on them?

I dunno...however it seems the Palestinians just don't play well with others. Everywhere they go, destruction and violence follows. Hmmmm.....poor Palestinians? Nope, fuck them.

Who exactly are these Hamas and where exactly are their rockets last time they did something wasn't it Lebanon and didn't Israel invade and destroy some apartment complexes full of people, there? Anyway news told me there was like 5 Israeli dead, who I believe are military, and compared to like 500 plus Palestinian dead on Fox, so I'm really not getting this whole ordeal.

Anyway, the US has been an ally and supporter of Jordan for awhile it just has varied alittle on political conditions there. Bush certainly has irritated even this alliance in the Middle-east. We also support wonderful countries like Syria too sometimes when it's convenient.

If he knew you were robbing the bank, yes.
The US knew Israel was going to do this. They continue to support the attacks.
