Agitating, maddening And infuriating hags

Oh, no, no. You are the most infuriating woman.

It is infuriating that your unhappiness does not turn to fat.

I have an infuriating lack of talent for doing simple things.

What makes the situation in Gaza even more infuriating is that the status quo is actually irrational. It is not in anyone s political interest.

And this is so infuriating and humiliating for the population of Afghanistan, that it makes the recruitment for al Qaeda very easy, when people are so disgusted by, for example, the burning of the Koran.

We gritted our teeth and for the sake of our national economies supported our governments as they bailed out the banks with public money. It was a necessary, if infuriating, act of salvation to avoid economic disaster.

Yet, at each stage in the crisis, Iran s supposed friends have let it down. Iran has also believed that it could split France, and perhaps Germany, away from the United States as if either country would risk infuriating the Americans for the sake of a leader like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Whatever his motives, Netanyahu has achieved what no Israeli leader ever has not only infuriating the US president (who was already quite angry with him), but also earning the public rebuke of people who would normally have supported any Israeli leader, whatever they might have thought in private. If an Israeli prime minister cannot even count on the backing of a man like Abraham Foxman, the national director of the Anti Defamation League, he is in trouble.
