Bush Appears on New Middle East Network

President Bush, helping to inaugurate a new American television network in the Middle East, said in an interview broadcast Wednesday that the United States would continue to press its plan for a Palestinian state and for democracy in Saudi Arabia, Jordan and other Arab countries.

Speaking on the Middle East Television Network, part of a new United States-sponsored system aimed at getting the American message across in the region, Mr. Bush described himself as "the first president to have ever articulated a Palestinian state," but said that this goal had been undercut by terrorists.

"The road map is in place," Mr. Bush said. "What has failed is, some parties are not advancing on the road map. They're stuck."

Mr. Bush ascribed the lack of progress in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations to Yasir Arafat, the Palestinian leader, who he said has undermined the peace process by failing to fight against terrorism.

"...disagreement on government among Sunnis, Kurds and Shiites was "very positive" because it reflected democratic stirrings."

Inflame is more like it.

5. "the first president to have ever articulated a Palestinian state,"

I bet he even mangled the lie. He couldn't articulate his way through a piece of wet toilet paper.

6. propoganda, with no competition

I read last week where the Americans had barred Al Jazeera for a month. Now we conveniently have a propaganda machine for the Bush administration point of view.

I bet those Iraqis sure are happy to be liberated.

:crazy:

7. This doesn't seem right.

I thought torture was outlawed by the Geneva Convention.

9. "Al Hurra", name of propaganda network, also translates as "piece of sh*t"

America's latest attempt to win the hearts and minds of Arabs launched this week in the form of an Arabic satellite news channel called Al Hurra, meaning "the free one."
...
With the addition of one little dot (see above), the Arabic letter "ha" become a "kha," thus changing the word al-hurra, 'the free one,' into al-khara, 'the piece of shit.'
