"Uhhh, because it's Bush's own personal fault that a feud which started hundreds of years before"

I was meaning the hundreds of thousands of dead muslims caused directly by bush's invasions. I know you had to kill them before saddam did, but I personally don't think it helped the US's image in the muslim world.

"as Dumbya liked to call it."

That's also a rather disparaging comment and seems stange coming from you. Heh, no amount of re-appelation or Denial will ever erase your deciple-like support of the man who has become widely known as America's Worst President Ever.

That was an unfortunate choice of words, but that was not in a speech to muslims, which was what yabit claims.

LOL!!! It was a speech to the world.

"Ok, Ok, folks... I'm gonna speak about a crusade here. All you Moslems out there, cover your ears!"

Going to war on behalf of muslim regimes and sit by while they institute islamic laws and murder their local Christians ain´t a "crusade", you genius.

Darn, Bush said it was a crusade.

I watched the speech, nothing new. I still don't see any reason to want acceptance in the Middle East or anywhere else for that matter.

Most of those deaths were caused directly by Muslims killing Muslims, not coalition troops. Coalition troops stemmed the killing, remember?

Great post Sarge. Telling it straight, could't have put it better myself buddy.

Sarge:

" Most of those deaths were caused directly by Muslims killing Muslims, not coalition troops. Coalition troops stemmed the killing, remember? "

Quite correct, but don´t expect that argument to get any traction from a muslim audience (or their PC sympathizers). You are not dealing with a rational mindset, remember.

Not much praise from the Canadian Charles Krauthammer. None, in fact:

" In his much-heralded “Muslim world” address in Cairo yesterday, Obama declared that the Palestinian people’s “situation” is “intolerable.” Indeed it is, the result of 60 years of Palestinian leadership that gave its people corruption, tyranny, religious intolerance and forced militarization; leadership that for three generations rejected every offer of independence and dignity, choosing destitution and despair rather than accept any settlement not accompanied by the extinction of Israel.

"That’s why Haj Amin al-Husseini chose war rather than a two-state solution in 1947. Why Yasser Arafat turned down a Palestinian state in 2000. And why Abbas rejected Olmert’s even more generous December 2008 offer.

"In the 16 years since the Oslo accords turned the West Bank and Gaza over to the Palestinians, their leaders built no roads, no courthouses, no hospitals, none of the fundamental state institutions that would relieve their people’s suffering. Instead they poured everything into an infrastructure of war and terror, all the while depositing billions (from gullible Western donors) into their Swiss bank accounts.

"Obama says he came to Cairo to tell the truth. But he uttered not a word of that."

Ouch.

sounds like 'war upon you' to me.

Didn't win much praise from historians. Obama credited Mohammedans with advances that were by and large the work of other cultures.

Praise? From whom? Not from me.

“Assalamu Aleikum“—Arabic for “peace be upon you“

Funny how when someone tries to win hearts and minds by using words the far right supporter scream their anger. Too bad that all you guys understand is hate.

You guys on the far right would rather send our young to die for your religious crusade rather than seeking common ground.

OhioDonna at 12:52 AM JST - 10th June Praise? From whom? Not from me.

I do not think our President was seeking your praise when he made his speech in front of the Muslim world. But if you wish to believe that he was trying to win you over then go head.

teleprompter at 10:12 AM JST - 8th June Didn't win much praise from historians. Obama credited Mohammedans with advances that were by and large the work of other cultures.

Again why do you guys not get that he was making a speech not for anyone other than the Muslim people?

Is peace such a hard thing to see?

In desperation to find fault you use the writings of a Canadian, that is funny!LOL

Sarge, if we were not in Iraq, all those people would not be dead in the first place.

I also love the use of terms "coalition", that in itself is a joke. The coalition consists of

United States - 144,000, Romania - 350, Australian - 145 troops

The rest of the nation bailed a soon as they figured it was stupid to be in Iraq. Coalition, that was the biggest joke in the last 50 years....LOL

Even our best friends, the British bailed out.....
