Rice: Peace deal before Bush bows out

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says she is bringing everything she has to bear to try and ensure the creation of a Palestinian state before President George W. Bush departs the White House next year.

According to the Associated Press, Rice Monday expressed hope that a peace [sic] deal could be reached "within the time remaining for the Bush administration."

Given the intense effort she has devoted to resolving this conflict, (Rice has made no less than eight trips to Jerusalem and Ramallah this year) it appears she and Bush are pinning their final hopes of securing a "legacy" on attaining an Arab-Israeli agreement rather than on scoring successes in Iraq or in the hunt for Osama bin Laden.

PLO/PA chief terrorist Mahmoud Abbas said Monday Rice had assured him that if he will attend the talks planned in Annapolis for later this month, the "core issues" of Jerusalem, Palestine's final borders, and the "Palestinian refugees" will be dealt with as soon as that conference is over.

If she made such a commitment, Rice either did so with the blessing of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, or with the intention of pressuring the Israeli leader into keeping her pledge after the fact.

Prescott Bush raised money for Hitler ~ researched by attorney John Luftus

Do you know the Bush Family Background? Family history and their secrets are very telling. Below is an article carefully researched and written by a very respectable lawyer. Tomorrow afternoon, Pres. Bush and team, including James Jones, are putting extreme and cruel pressure on Israel to violate God’s Word. The pressure is on for Israel to give up Judea, Samaria and even part of Jerusalem – land that God gave Abraham and his descendants by covenant (Genesis 12, 15, 17). Our goal in sending these updates is that American Christians will continue to have the freedom to share the saving gospel of Jesus Christ as our Lord.

Poll: Half say they would never vote for Hillary for president www.naplesnews.com/news/2007/oct/20/poll_half_say_they_would_never_vote_hillary_presid/?breaking_news Saturday, October 20, 2007 While she is winning wide support in nationwide samples among Democrats in the race for their party’s presidential nomination, half of likely voters nationwide said they would never vote for New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, a new Zogby Interactive poll shows. The online survey of 9,718 likely voters nationwide showed that 50 percent said Clinton would never get their presidential vote. This is up from 46 percent who said they could never vote for Clinton in a Zogby International telephone survey conducted in early March. Older voters are most resistant to Clinton — 59 percent of those age 65 and older said they would never vote for the New York senator, but she is much more acceptable to younger voters: 42 percent of those age 18-29 said they would never vote for Clinton for president.

2007 11- 29 ~ Firefighters asked to report people who express discontent with the government

Firefighters asked to report people who express discontent with the government http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Homeland_Security_turns_firefighters_into_domestic_1129.html November 29, 2007 It was revealed last week that firefighters are being trained to not only keep an eye out for illegal materials in the course of their duties, but even to report back any expression of discontent with the government. A year ago, Homeland Security gave security clearances to nine New York City fire chiefs and began sharing intelligence with them. Even before that, fire department personnel were being taught "to identify material or behavior that may indicate terrorist activities" and were also "told to be alert for a person who is hostile, uncooperative or expressing hate or discontent with the United States." Unlike law enforcement officials, firemen can go onto private property without a warrant, not only while fighting fires but also for inspections. "It's the evolutio
