Following a session on the Middle East with Jordan's King Abduallah in the White House yesterday, US President George Bush expressed his fury over Wednesday's bombing inside a Hebrew University cafeteria that left 7 dead including 5 US citizens. "I'm just as angry as Israel is right now. I'm furious at innocent lives lost," said Bush to reporters. Despite the fact that Wednesday's bombing claimed more US lives at the hands of terrorists since the September 11 attack on America, it does not appear the United States will flex its military might against the Hamas gang within Israel.
Yesterday, White House Spokesman Ari Fleischer said that while the US has taken military action against the terrorist infrastructure in different regions around the world including Afghanistan and the Philippines, in the Middle East, the war on terror is "being fought through diplomacy and through financial and political means." However, Fleischer did reaffirm the President's belief that Israel has the right to defend itself against the current Arab onslaught.
