[Peace-discuss] Calling Out Bush's War in Gaza

[C. G. Estabrook]

This is true and important, but it's not just Bush's war.  Obama's collusion

volubility on everything from bailouts to Blagojevich -- suggests that the USG 
policy will not be much different in three weeks.  Essentially the same people 
will be running it.  --CGE
