The 90-lb. weakling doesn’t strikes again…

King George the Witless delegated ‘the Israel problem’ to Colin ‘Spineless’ Powell when it became apparent that Sharon was going to give the Roadmap, and the U.S., the finger.
After whinging and dithering and doing nothing for half-a-year after gaining responsibility for something from his stupid boss, Colin finally took a stand on the building of a particularly flagrant piece of the Sharon’s Roadmap-defying Great Wall of Greater Israel – that is, he took a stand ‘sort-of.’
You see, Sharon wanted to build a particularly gerrymandered piece of wall to protect a settlement located deep within occupied territory – one that would cut through the middle of a Palestinian University, among other things. When Powell whined a bit (and threatened to reduce Israel’s annual $8 billion dollar handout by the amount of the cost of the fence), Sharon graciously decided to leave a few gaps in the wall, so the locals along the path wouldn’t be 100% cut off from their former neighbors, friends and families.
And like the proverbial 90-lb. weakling comic-book advertisement fame, Powell is just standing there and taking it as the bully kicks sand in his face and walks off with the girl. Says Mr. Powell:
“The gaps in and of themselves do not satisfy me,” Powell said in an interview Friday. “The question is what becomes of the gaps in due course. We have not yet come to a conclusion about what to do and what our action should be, [but the officials] examined the fence, where it’s going and how it’s going, the settlements and what our obligations are under the law under these matters.”
Yeah, I bet ‘The Butcher of Sabra” started quaking in his boots when he heard that!
Stumble it!
