MassuhDGoodName believes that within the next 30 days, Bush & the State Department will change their "Party Line" to something like the following:
"Events on the ground in Gaza, the latest results of President Bush's Program of Spreading Democracy throughout the Middle East, have been viewed with great concern by the Administration."
"Hamas won the majority vote in the first "Palestinian" democratic election ever held under "international supervision". Former President Jimmy Carter, serving as an neutral observer, has stated that the elections were honest, legitimate, and democratic."
"While the U.S. views with alarm the recent Hamas victory over Prime Minister Abbas, nevertheless the consensus of the United States, in consultation with "The International Community", is that the political realities are such that Hamas has won both democratic approval, and also won militarily over its rival factions, in the Struggle for "Palestinian Rights" and "Palestinian Statehood".
Therefore, President Bush, and The Middle East Quartet, will redouble all our efforts for a "just and lasting Peace in the Middle East", and to this Goal of American Foreign Policy will contribute every possible resource: Diplomatic, Economic, and Political...to our "Vision of Two or More Democratic States; Living in Peace; Side by Side with Israel".
To this end, Secretary of State Congoleeza Rice is being immediately dispatched to the region, to consult with our allies, and to jumpstart the stalled "Peace Process".
