“I think it is fair to say that I believe we’ve got a great chance to establish a Palestinian state,” Bush said. “And I intend to use the next four years to spend the capital of the United States on such a state.”
What is this “capital of the United States” that he intends to spend?
It can’t be money. With our 4 trillion dollar deficit, the correct word would be “credit”.
Perhaps he’s talking about political capital, like the international goodwill and co-operative spirit that America experienced in the days following the attacks on September 11th. Sadly, he already spent that on the Iraq war.
I’ll just leave that first sentence alone.
Next time, Mr. President, just say this:
“I believe we have a great chance to establish a Palestinian state, and I intend to support that effort fully.”
Thank you.
