Bush tells it like it is. Too bad if you don't like it.
Sharon's support of illegal "settlements" and his strutting around the temple mount precipitated this war, and if Arrafat had the least wits about him, could have blown away Israel's aggressive policy years ago.
The dehumanization by Israel during the occupation egged on the worst elements.
Sharon is the archititect of that process.
Israel today is less secure and more vulnerable.
Bush, as a friend, is pointing that out.
He is a true friend, unlike his poser predecessor.
