Rice to Consult Palestinian Leader on Ceasefire in Gaza
Edited on Tue Jan-06-09 10:31 PM by RJ Connors

WASHINGTON - US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will consult with Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas on Tuesday in New York to help create a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

(snip)

"I understand Israel's desire to protect itself and that the situation now taking place in Gaza was caused by Hamas," Bush told reporters on Monday, adding "any ceasefire must have the conditions in it so that Hamas does not use Gaza as a place from which to launch rockets."



"I understand", now stop right there. I already have a problem with Bush's response to reports as that part of the statement just can't be true.
