Washington
December 1, 2008
Laura and I send our condolences to the Chabad-Lubavitch family and all those honoring the lives lost in this tragedy.
The compassionate individuals of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement dedicate their lives to sharing G-d’s teachings with people throughout the world, offering strength, hope and guidance in the unique spirit of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of blessed memory. Through countless acts of love and kindness, the lost members of the Chabad-Lubavitch community in Mumbai represented the best of the human spirit, and their memories will live on in the hearts and souls of those they touched.
It is impossible for us to make sense of the violence of the Mumbai terrorist attack, yet we offer our deepest sympathy to the Chabad-Lubavitch community during this difficult time. We pray that you will be comforted by your fond memories of those lost, encouraged by their noble legacy, sustained by your faith, and lifted by the support of your loved ones.
May G-d bless you and all those affected by these horrific attacks.
George W Bush

Why did Bush hyphenate "G-d"? Is he frum?

For those that want to lnow why he didn't mention the attack and revenge, you are quite clueless about how to comfort someone whom has suffered a loss. While revenge may give them satisfaction, it will not help in comforting them at all.

He's not frum. This is just what chabad gets for having a full-time "ambassador" to washington (levi shemtov) who probably wrote it for bush. With all due respect, why else would he write that stuff about the rebbe ztzl?

Probably he would - it's the political thing to do and he's surrounding himself with lots of Jews. The problem is, because of Obama, there'll be a need for many more letters, CVS.

No! Of course he is not frum.
President Bush is a big mentsch.
Mark my words we will all miss him.
By hyphenating "G-d", President Bush was showing his sensitivity to the frum community.
May G-d continue to bless this great country. And may G-d bless President Bush.

this is what to be expected. doesnt make him and greater than anyone else who in his position would be required to do the same exact thing. you think he wrote it himself???
please.
this sounds familiar. almost like Hillary Clinton's statement from Saturday

He did in fact say many many words ,several times. he issued several statements over several days and even was said to "lead the international condemnation" SO, you lie. sheker mamish.

Just don't forget that since 9/11 a terror attack didn't occur in the US under his wacth (ifcorse with god's help).

thats not saying much. thats like saying there wasnt any under theo thers either...or using the same logic, the only and most devastating one DID happen under his watch AND he had ignored the clarke intelligence memo which warned bl was going to attack. in the us

You must be counting "uh," "em," "you know," and "er" as words.

So you want to turn this into an anti-Bush thing? Derech Ha'teva, I suppose the lack of attacks on US soil since 9/11 dont mean anything to you? As for the stupid comment posted by someone later about ignoring intelligence reports, lets not forget we wouldnt have been in this mess if Prez Clinton wouldnt have been fooling around and gotten Osama yemach sh'mo when he had the chance. The reports were that Clinton dropped the ball and not Prez Bush.
I dont think that in 50 years we will look at him like the best ever, but we wont look at it as a failure either. There were things that were not good -- for example he was not fiscally conservative. That being said its hard to keep balanced budgets when you have to fight a war. No one asked the terrorists to start with us.

actually he has been the absolute worst. and even if history does not remeber as such, he is definitely far, very far from the "best"

FYI Mr. Levin, none of those appeared in any of obamas statements. go read them yourself.
