Bush Attempts "Nuance"

... and fails miserably.

Apparently not expecting an open mike to pick up his remarks, Bush told Blair: "See the irony is what they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it's over."


Wow, it must be so nice to live in a bubble. Clearly reality doesn't register or matter - it's all conveniently black-and-white, isn't it?

Israel good, Hezbollah bad. Syria sponsors Hezbollah, so Syria must control them, right? Wrong.

Meanwhile HarperCrit is getting all mealy mouthed around condemning Israel for attacks that have killed Canadian Citizens in Lebanon. I'm sure that if Canadians had died at the hands of the Syrians, the condemnations would be delivered quickly, instead, we find Harper standing up for Canada by cowering behind the US position. I'm disgusted.

[Update 14:25]: I just found this piece of tripe wherein Harper basically says that Canadian citizens being killed doesn't matter.
