For Dell. Name that President reiterating our usual, consistent foreign policy for this region. Obama's speech was nearly a duplicate of this.

Quote:
THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon. I'd like to, first, thank Prime Minister Olmert and President Abbas for their hospitality during my trip here to the Holy Land. We had very good meetings, and now is the time to make difficult choices...

The point of departure for permanent status negotiations to realize this vision seems clear: There should be an end to the occupation that began in 1967. The agreement must establish Palestine as a homeland for the Palestinian people, just as Israel is a homeland for the Jewish people. These negotiations must ensure that Israel has secure, recognized, and defensible borders. And they must ensure that the state of Palestine is viable, contiguous, sovereign, and independent.

Achieving an agreement will require painful political concessions by both sides. While territory is an issue for both parties to decide, I believe that any peace agreement between them will require mutually agreed adjustments to the armistice lines of 1949 to reflect current realities and to ensure that the Palestinian state is viable and contiguous. I believe we need to look to the establishment of a Palestinian state and new international mechanisms, including compensation, to resolve the refugee issue.

I guess I see a difference between what Bush said and what Obama just said. Ending occupation is far far different than starting with and using 1967 borders as a basis. At least IMO

Wow. Just ignoring the comparable statements? Deliberate on your part? Pulling two completely different things out of each statement and pretending to compare them?

Poke out my eyes with sticks, or try and logically talk politics with Dell. What do to?

Face it, Dell - your effort to paint Obama as proposing anything different than every other President in the last 40 years is clearly wrong, and your effort to paint him as "anti-Israel" is just beyond absurd.
