Bush thanks lapdog Mubarak for the "positive
role" of Egypt during the war on Gaza
WASHINGTON, (PIC)-- The white house announced
on Wednesday that the US president George Bush called the Egyptian president
Husni Mubarak and thanked him for Egypt's "positive role" during the past few
days of the war on the Gaza Strip.
White house spokesman, Gordon Johndroe, also
said that Bush called the PA president Mahnoud Abbas and the premier of his
illegitimate government Salam Fayyad and emphasized the need for a lasting
cease-fire.
"President Bush and the two Palestinian
leaders discussed their efforts for a sustainable cease-fire. They agreed that
for any cease-fire to be effective, it must be respected, particularly by
Hamas," Johndroe said.
Bush, who is leaving the white house in three
weeks, has not made any statement about the Israeli onslaught against the Gaza
Strip.
The Washington Post quoted a US
administration official as saying that Israel chose to attack at this time to
utilise the remaining days for president Bush in office.
