Bush: Hezbollah has turned against its own people (Extra)
May 14, 2008, 15:39 GMT
Jerusalem - US President George W. Bush Wednesday condemned the actions of Lebanon's Shiite militant Hezbollah movement against the Lebanese government.
'Hezbollah, the so-called protector of the Lebanese against Israel, has now turned on its own people,' Bush told a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in Jerusalem.
'Hezbollah is supported by Iran and this is an Iranian effort to destabilise that young democracy and the United States stands strongly with the Siniora government,' Bush said.
'Here we are in the heart of a thriving democracy, yet that democracy, like other democracies, is being challenged by extremists and terrorists,' said Bush, who arrived in Israel for celebrations marking 60 years since the state was founded on May 14, 1948.
He said he was referring to the 'existential' threat that a nuclear Iran would pose to Israel.

Bush is known for propaganda and to make matter worse. Hopefully, Bush will take up permanent residence in Israel, the country he has given the most and made the american people sacrifice their lives for. Bush has surely worn out his welcome in the US.
Bush will love living in Israel, as he loves war and the Ash-ke-nazi Jews can't live without violence. That's a match made in heaven!!! Please stay in Israel, Bush!!!
Think about it, How many times Mr. Bush or one of his administrations members have visited the cancer cell during the last couple of years. Jews understand how wrong it has been to move into Palestine and they are moving out. There's not much zionists can do about it, no matter how much comfort Bush administration deliver to these people time by time by time. Zionists need this comfort but it's obviously not working anymore. The real problem is all those washington's favorite dictatorships like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and all those pathetic small arab countries around Persian Gulf under American boots. People in these countires are preparing to change this hypocrisy once and for all. Once again American regime paralyzed and astonished watch this as another failure.
You mean like the GOP has done to the American people?
yep ,President Bush was right . all these terrorist want , is power for them-selves , and they'l kill thier own people to get it .
