Remember when the President of the USA was seen as the most powerful ruler on Earth? Well Bush has just did what he could to show his Presidency is not necessarily thought of like that.

Israeli PM boasts of 'shaming' Condoleezza Rice
January 13, 2009 - 6:22AM

JERUSALEM - US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was left shame-faced after President George W Bush ordered her to abstain in a key UN vote on the Gaza war, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said on Monday.

"She was left shamed. A resolution that she prepared and arranged, and in the end she did not vote in favour," Olmert said in a speech in the southern town of Ashkelon.

The UN Security Council passed a resolution last Thursday calling for an immediate ceasefire in the three-week-old conflict in the Gaza Strip and an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza where hundreds have been killed.

Fourteen of the council's 15 members voted in favour of the resolution, which was later rejected by both Israel and Hamas.

The United States, Israel's main ally, had initially been expected to voted in line with the other 14 but Rice later became the sole abstention.

"In the night between Thursday and Friday, when the secretary of state wanted to lead the vote on a ceasefire at the Security Council, we did not want her to vote in favour," Olmert said.

"I said 'Get me President Bush on the phone'. They said he was in the middle of giving a speech in Philadelphia. I said I didn't care. 'I need to talk to him now'. He got off the podium and spoke to me.

"I told him the United States could not vote in favour. It cannot vote in favour of such a resolution. He immediately called the secretary of state and told her not to vote in favour."

Bush has consistently placed the blame for the conflict on Hamas, telling reporters on Monday that while he wanted to see a "sustainable ceasefire" in Gaza, it was up to Hamas to choose to end its rocket fire on Israel.

Ahh See Bush
See Bush Jump
Jump Bush Jump
When a foreign power jerks his string.

Remember when Bush could not be bothered to respond when the USA was under attack and he sat idly by holding that book about a goat? It seems the Bush priorities are and have been, outrageously flawed.

I hate Bush and the stupid evil Neo-Cons. They caused all the problems in this world in just eight years because they won't work with the awesome United Nations. I also hate Israel because they are run by evil foreign neo-cons who also run our country and commit war crimes that in no way could be called self defense. Boo Hoo. I love the UN. Everyone has a right to anything they want in this world and international bodies should enforce their will on sovereign nations. I can't wait for 1-20-09 Bush's last day. That will be the change we need in this world. The Gazans are a peaceful and cultured people who deserve peace and a free country given to them by Israel. The two years of consistent rocket attacks on Israel are completely made up and Israel has no right to self defense because they aren't a valid country. I also hate Georgia, because they are run by stupid evil neo-cons like Mikail Sakaashvilli who also run our country through special interest military industrial complex evil billionaires like Paul Wolfowitz. They provoked their peaceful neighbor Russia into a war Russia was forced to fight to protect all their citizens. I also hate Colombia because their stupid evil corporatist neo con American puppet excuse for a president Uribe who is executing union leaders and unfairly prosecuting a war of aggression against his own people who just want to grow cocaine and ship it to America and commit acts of international terrorism PEACEFULLY like kidnapping politicials and international dignitaries and holding them hostage for years in remote jungle bases. No mind that his administration has seen the biggest drop in violence in a decade and has actually protected unions more than any other president, I dont believe facts i believe my passions and what moveon.org and HuffingtonPost.com tell me. The war in iraq was for oil and to harvest iraqi blood to feed to bush;s blood drinking satan worshipping evil neo cons who hate the UN, the mumbai attacks were an inside job by mossad and the cia who hate human existence and likely hate you and your parents, the UN is great and can solve all the worlds problems if only we gave them a standing army and disarmed all our nukes unilaterally while russia and china and india aggressively build up vast offensive nuclear arsenals and if only we allowed the UN to carbon tax the entire world and if only we could accept that evil stupid capitalist nations like the US and their evil stupid allies caused all the worlds financial woes by being evil and greedy....

GOD DAMN! SEE HOW IT FEELS? DO YOU LIBERALS EVER SHUT UP ABOUT GEORGE W. GOD DAMN BUSH?

HE'LL BE GONE IN SIX FUCKING DAYS! CHILL THE FUCK OUT ALREADY SMOKE A BONG AND GO JERK OFF TO THE PRE INAUGURATION CEREMONIES ON CNN! FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
