Hamas and the US response
Thought fragments and things Dr. Sec. Rice said.
War and terror how do they differ?
How are their results different? People die. Power is retained or wrestled away.
It was interesting to see how hard people in the US had to try and not be mad at the results of election. Well, not to show it at least
``You cannot have one foot in politics and another in terror,'' Rice told the World Economic Conference in Davos, Switzerland via a telephone hookup to the State Department. ``Our position on Hamas has therefore not changed.''
``Palestinian people have apparently voted for change, but we believe their aspirations for peace and a peaceful life remain unchanged,'' she said. Rice said those goals will require renunciation of violence and terrorism and acceptance of Israel's right to exist side-by-side with a Palestinian state.
``Anyone who wants to govern the Palestinian people and do so with the support of the international community has got to be committed to a two-state solution,'' Rice said. ``You can't have a peace process if you're not committed to the right of your partner to exist.''
She predicted that the world will ``speak clearly'' on those points over the next day or so, but did not outline just how the United States plans to proceed.
``If your platform is the destruction of Israel, it means you're not a partner in peace, and we're interested in peace,'' Bush told reporters at a news conference.

Chavez
This was the last paragraph of this article:
http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/01/13/spain.planesales/index.html
-------
In notifying Spain of the decision on Thursday, the U.S. government repeated a previous Bush administration claim -- that Chavez, while democratically elected, uses his country's democratic institutions to impose authoritarian rule.
-------
One wonders what the Venezuellan people must think of our President's use of the "democratic" institutions at his disposal. It would not be hard, if one were to truly seek objectivity, to find a great imposition of authoritarian rule in the Bush administrations handling of:
Secret wire taps/domestic spying by the NSA
Torture and the right to no recognize the law of Congress which Bush withheld in December
The placement of John Bolton at the UN after the Senate raised many objections, and went home
can you, dear reader, name a time in the last 5 years when the President used his power to bolster the power of the people?
please read about the record of Hugo Chvez and what he has done to and for disenfranchised people in his nation.

Alito hearing
He is smooth aint he
VP Cheney came on Sean Hannity today in the first half hour of the show.
This is the epitome hard hitting questioning we have grown accustomed to from all
He spoke primarily on the Senate conformation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Alito and Constitutional issues. It was taken for granted that right was one their side.
The usual glossing of "success" in Iraq and the freedom fighting merits of the President were recapped.
He told Hannity he will not run for President in 2008.
Gone before the 330 news update
