In my opinion the only time any one have the right to tell any one to get lost is when he she is in his or hers property I dont understand how any Armenian asks another Armenian to get lost from this " HYE-FORUM " The name " HYE-FORUM SAYES IT ALL " it belongs to every HYE ' like it or not In all my quarrels with America-Hye i never used the term ' get lost ' even when he said to me we dont want you here and orderd me to go back to my old country Quoted from Dan ( It's not up to you to decide what people should and should not say or think ) Thank's now we are talking

George W. Bush's Intelligence Quiz While visiting England, George W. Bush is invited to tea with the Queen. He asks her what her leadership philosophy is. She says that it is to surround herself with intelligent people. He asks how she knows if they're intelligent. "I do so by asking them the right questions," says the Queen. "Allow me to demonstrate." She phones Tony Blair and says, "Mr. Prime Minister. Please answer this question: Your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is it?" Tony Blair responds, "It's me, ma'am." "Correct. Thank you and good-bye, sir," says the Queen. She hangs up and says, "Did you get that, Mr. Bush?" "Yes ma'am. Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!" Upon returning to Washington, he decides he'd better put the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to the test. He summons Jesse Helms to the White House and says, "Senator Helms, I wonder if you can answer a question for me." "Why, of course, sir. What's on your mind?" "Uh, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?" Helms hems and haws and finally asks, "Can I think about it and get back to you?" Bush agrees, and Helms leaves. He immediately calls a meeting of other senior senators, and they puzzle over the question for several hours, but nobody can come up with an answer. Finally, in desperation, Helms calls Colin Powell at the State Department and explains his problem. "Now look here Colin Powell, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother, or your sister. Who is it?" Powell answers immediately, "It's me, of course, you dumb ass." Much relieved, Helms rushes back to the White House and exclaims, "I know the answer, sir! I know who it is! It's Colin Powell!" And Bush replies in disgust, "Wrong, you dumb ass, It's Tony Blair!"

http://static.jpost.com/images/2002/site/jplogo.gif New war, old dilemmas -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nachman Shai Dec. 13, 2003 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An Israeli reading the headlines regarding the slow drumbeat of American casualties in Iraq could be excused for saying to himself "been there, done that." The daily situations America encounters and its long-term planning considerations in Iraq are very similar to Israel's dilemmas at this time. Every day the US wakes up to new bad news from Iraq. It loses an average of a soldier a day, which has an important impact on public opinion. America finds itself stuck deep in a war whose end is not in sight, seeking and finding tactical military solutions to deal with the large military challenge it faces. The Iraqi army, easily defeated during the war, is reappearing now in the form of incessant terrorist attacks. Despite their extensive military experience, the Americans are surprised. Iraqi resistance comes in a variety of forms of attacks, from suicide terrorism to handheld land-to-air missiles to ambushes to mortar attacks. But the main US dilemma has to do with its treatment of the civilian population. It is having trouble drawing a line between the passive civilian population that is not cooperating with terrorism and those who harbor the Iraqi terrorists. The US has had no choice but to opt for an "iron fist" policy. It wants to defend its soldiers at all costs, and the civilian population is paying the price. Sometimes it is a long curfew in urban areas, sometimes exhausting roadblocks, and somewhere else suspects are arrested and detained for long periods. CBS's 60 Minutes program last week carried the story of an Iraqi civilian kept in detention for months without trial, and nobody knows what, if anything, he will be charged with. The Americans are compelled to employ methods of combat that are very similar to Israel's. They destroy houses, for instance, where Iraqi rebels are hiding. That is just what Israel does out of a justified fear for its soldiers, who might get hurt entering buildings in which terrorists are hiding. And the same is true for other cases when the Americans choose to reduce the risk to their soldiers. An American military periodical reported that senior US military commanders visited Israel and consulted it on how to fight terror. There are no Israeli consultants in Iraq per se, but the Americans are interested in learning from us first-hand how to deal with terrorism. Junior American commanders suddenly sound like Israeli commanders in previous wars. One said: "The Arabs understand force, nothing but force." The commander of US forces in Iraq, General Ricardo Sanchez, is more cautious in his statements, but he too stresses that only vigorous action bears results, reporting that the number of hostile Iraqi actions has dropped from 20-40 a day to only two. America has to deal with human, moral dilemmas, just like Israel, just like any Western society that finds itself in confrontation with extremist Islam. Moreover, the iron-fist tactics in everyday life harm the strategic goal of restoring normal Iraqi life and withdrawing the American military forces as soon as is prudent and possible. BETWEEN THE tactics and the strategy another similarity between the US and Israel emerges. President George W. Bush's initial goal was, as is well known, exposing and neutralizing the weapons of mass destruction. Now there is a new goal: democratization. Columnist Tom Friedman writes in the New York Times that Bush is not exceptional in that respect, and past American presidents behaved in the same way. It is not unusual, he says, that in the course of a war objectives are revised and new objectives presented. That, too, rings familiar here. Israel went to war in Lebanon to move the threat of terrorism 40 kilometers away from our border. But in the course of the war new objectives were born, such as changing the regime in Lebanon and making peace with the northern neighbor and even with Syria. All of those tactical and strategic comparisons teach us very realistic and tangible lessons. For instance, when you set out on a journey, whether political or military, you do not know where you will end up. Another lesson is that the criticism Israel takes in its war against Palestinian terrorism will from now on be viewed in a new light considering the American-British war against Iraqi terrorism. And the third and most important lesson is that terrorism both here and there endangers world peace and has to be eradicated.

U.S. Congress Approves More Aid To Armenia Tuesday 9, December 2003 By Emil Danielyan The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to allocate at least $75 million in further American assistance to Armenia which represents an almost 17 percent drop from this year’s level. The administration of President George W. Bush had been pushing for a much more drastic reduction reflecting dwindling U.S. economic aid to the former Soviet republics. The lawmakers scaled back on Monday the proposed cut for 2004 following intense lobbying from Armenian-American organizations. They also earmarked $3.4 million for separate assistance to the Armenian military and, in a move bound to anger Azerbaijan, $5 million for U.S.-funded humanitarian programs in Nagorno-Artsax. The Armenian Assembly of America, an influential lobbying group, commended its “friends” on Capitol Hill for securing almost $30 million more than was sought by the Bush administration for Armenia. "Given the current fiscal restraints, the Assembly applauds the continued efforts of its congressional friends for securing this much-needed aid," its congressional relations director, Rob Mosher, said in a statement. He specifically mentioned the Republican and Democrat leaders of the House’s bipartisan Armenian Caucus, notably Congressman Joe Knollenberg of Michigan. The statement quoted Knollenberg as saying, “This aid reaffirms our commitment to our friend and ally, and ensures that the relationship between our two countries grows stronger economically and militarily.” Armenia, owing to its influential community in America, has been one of the world’s leading per-capita recipients of U.S. aid which has totaled more than $1.5 billion since 1992. As recently as on November, the ambassador in Yerevan, John Ordway, briefed Armenian Caucus members in Washington on the ongoing U.S.-funded assistance programs that are increasingly coordinated by a joint U.S.-Armenian “task force.” “As long as Armenia's neighbors maintain their economic blockade of Armenia, American assistance is critical to the development of Armenia,” Knollenberg said. The House allocation to Armenia and Nagorno-Artsax is identical with a similar measure approved by the U.S. Senate on October 30. It means that Washington will continue to upgrade communication facilities of Armenia’s armed forces and train its personnel. It began providing military assistance to Yerevan following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The White House will also have to continue to finance humanitarian and reconstruction programs in Artsax that have previously prompted strong protests from Azerbaijan. Baku complained that the direct U.S. assistance undermines its internationally recognized sovereignty over the Armenian-controlled territory. The U.S. government has already spent about $20 million on Artsax. The money, handled by American-based private charities, was mainly used for rebuilding homes and infrastructure destroyed during the 1991-94 war with Azerbaijan. Copyright © 2003. RFE/RL, Inc.
