0omous terms, the West Bank masses are said to be fuming that Fatah won’t let them confront Israel directly. “This will irreparably damage its standing in the eyes of Palestinians…” an Arab expert told The Christian Science Monitor. In other words, many ordinary Palestinians want Fatah to again lead them into another violent uprising – despite the devastation a third intifada would bring down on them. Never mind that the standard of living in the West Bank is better than it has been in years.”

0US sees Gaza rebuilding as opportunity for Abbas 01/14/09 This is why Bush gave Israel the go ahead to attack Hamas. I think this is going to spiral out of control.
laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. (5) Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. (6) From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. (7) Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. (8) And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. (9) Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

0And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

0“Katrina to me was the tipping point,” said Matthew Dowd, Bush’s pollster and chief strategist for the 2004 presidential campaign. “The president broke his bond with the public. Once that bond was broken, he no longer had the capacity to talk to the American public. State of the Union addresses? It didn’t matter. Legislative initiatives? It didn’t matter. P.R.? It didn’t matter. Travel? It didn’t matter.”
President Bush and Secretary of State Rice put enormous pressure on the Israeli government to evacuate these 25 settlements. The United States and Israeli governments were negotiating $1.2 billion in aid to help relocate the settlers. The removal of all Jews from Gaza was the first step in President Bush’s plan to establish a Palestinian state next to Israel.
On August 22, the Israelis removed the last of Jewish settlers from Gaza, while on August 23 they removed the last settlers from Samaria. The removal of the settlers took a mere seven days to complete. President Bush was extremely happy with the Israeli withdrawal from the 25 settlements. He mentioned the Israeli withdrawal in speeches on August 22 and 23. In the speech on August 22, he acknowledged the closing of the settlements caused pain, but called it historic. The President’s speech of August 22, in part, follows:
“This past week, Prime Minister Sharon and the Israeli people took a courageous and painful step by beginning to remove settlements in Gaza and parts of the northern West Bank. The Israeli disengagement is an historic step that reflects the bold leadership of Prime Minister Sharon.”
In a speech on August 23, the President again praised Prime Minister Sharon for his “courageous decision to withdraw from Gaza and parts of the West Bank.” He felt this was the beginning of the creation of the State of Palestine. The following is an excerpt from the President’s speech:
“…I want to congratulate Prime Minister Sharon for having made a very tough decision…The Prime Minister made a courageous decision to withdraw from Gaza…This is step one in the development of a democracy…This is a very hopeful period. Again, I applaud Prime Minister Sharon for making a decision that has really changed the dynamics on the ground, and has really provided hope for the Palestinian people. My vision, my hope is that one day we’ll see two states – two democratic states living side by side in peace.”
On August 23, just as Israel removed the last settler, tropical depression 12 formed over the Bahamas and upgraded to a tropical storm named Katrina. Katrina grew rapidly in power and on August 24 and upgraded to a category one hurricane. On August 25, Katrina hit southern Florida doing about $1 billion in damage. Katrina then weakened over Florida and was downgraded to a tropical storm…”
“The nation lost 524,000 jobs in December, reflecting a pervasive fear among employers that if they fail to shed workers quickly their companies may go under in a recession poised to become the worst since the 1930s.”
