tempting hope with headlines

The BBC has an article posted that is titled "Bush Urges Israeli occupation end." But then, just when we muster enough hope to read, the opening sentence reads,

"US President George W Bush has said Israel must end its occupation of some Arab land to enable the creation of a viable Palestinian state."

Talk about a headline that doesn't really mean what it says!

But on a lighter note, had I been in the room when Bush made the following remark:

“I’m on a timetable,” Mr. Bush said in Ramallah only moments after saying that a timetable could not be forced on the Israeli and Palestinian leaders. “I’ve got 12 months in office,” he said.

I would have erupted into hand clapping and cheers. Only one year left! Now there is something to look forward to!
