1. the delusion has strengthened
Marcel ,   Florida   (06.05.08)
More hot air inflates the balloon of lies. How easily vertically challenged Israel falls for empty words. psalm 118:8 If there were true strength, Israel would have defeated Hamas and Fatah and not allowed them to strengthen. The Palestinians would be making their way to Jordan instead of carving up minature Israel. Nor everyone believes the devious globalists and their agendda to weaken and eventually destroy Israel by way of no peace Road Map.

getting new weapons". How pathetic this all is from the "Members of Olmert's delegation". Bush knows that talking to Olmert is like talking to a dead fish. Who are Olmert's "supporters; ? We need to know so that they can be sent into oblivion with Olmert! Mike
3. Is this a paid political advertisement?
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (06.05.08)
This is no "accomplishment" by Olmert. Olmert had nothing to do with anything - he just saw Bush for an hour. Bush was being polite - for the US administration, Olmert is already as good as gone. Everything mentioned in the article would have happened anyway - it was all in the works long before this trip. Ynet - don't take us for idiots. Journalism is supposd to be a bit more than publishing "spin" for the PMO. It's bad enough you print Reuters & AP with no additional comment. We don't need rubbish from the PMO or at least add a disclaimer.
4. Olmert's visit a "Huge Success"
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (06.05.08)
Yet again, our fearless leader has risen to the challenge, forcing Bush by sheer force of character & imposing intellect to strengthen the strategic alliance. And, all this accomplished in less than an hour! With his usual modesty, our fearless leader did not want word of his incredible accomplishments to leak out but this this dazzling display of diplomacy overwhelmed his entourage who could not help singing his praises. And, what an accomplishment this is - America will come to our aid AFTER an Iranian attack. Let me tell you, I am just SO reassured.
5. The US/Israel relationship has never been stronger.....
AJ ,   Washington, DC   (06.05.08)
Now we need a device that blows up in Chanalou's mouth the next time she opens it to spew lies about the State of Israel. I understand its in the works.
6. Storms
David ,   USA   (06.05.08)
Did anyone notice that as Olmert and Bush were meeting that Tornados and strong storms hit Washington killing one and knocking out power to 500,000 people? Call me fanatical but it seems that every time the Bush administration sticks its nose into Israeli affairs we have a natural disaster. Is someone trying to tell us something?
7. israel's sronger u.s. relationship
elliot ,   point roberts,usa   (06.05.08)
democrats especially are unsure about a strong america let alone a truly strong israel so israel will have to overcome factionalism to be even more self-reliant. Tomorrow is 4th anniversary of ronald reagan's death -a good time to recall how his policy of peace thru strength led suddenly to the miracle of freeing soviet jewry.
8. #1 Get this through your thick head-"Israel will NEVER be
destroyed--NEVER"! ,   Rueben, Israel   (06.05.08)
9. olmert achived nothing somebody else couldnt
zionist forever   (06.05.08)
The man finalises a defense sales agreement and suddenly he is a great PM who has done something great for Israel,. Any decennt negotiator could have done than. Sadly we wont be getting F22 which is the best fighter jet in the world and far superior to the F35 and Israel its congress that decides if an American weapon will be sold not Bush because he had a friendly chat with Olmert. The idea he recived moral support when in Washington is something that even Olmert should be ablle to get considering he is there to get American support for Israel. If this is meant to be an isssue thats going to help Olmert keep his job when he gets homw then he really must be getting desperate for excuses to stay in power.
