What has Taken so Long Mr. President? 8yrs!!!!

During his three-day tour of Israel and the West Bank, Mr Bush made what analysts described as some of the strongest statements to date on the need for peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians.

He called for an end to the Israeli occupation of land seized in 1967 and he said he believed a peace deal could be signed by the end of this year, Israel's 60th anniversary, before he leaves office in 2009.

"There's a good chance for peace and I want to help you,"

The joke of the year, Hollywood writers couldn't have done this one better.
