It strikes me as very odd that just before "closing time" mr. Bush bothers to visit Israel...He could have done that many times during his 8 years regime..and he deffinitely should stop uttering anything about israeli politics..Bush is a very lousy judge of character saying that olmert is a strong leader...We all know that olmert is a corrupted piece of sevel....

If there is still someone believing that Saudi Arabians are favorable to peace, the recent opinion polls among Saudi citizens gives you the truth. Just enter : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2008/01/poll-of-saudis_07.html

is the enemy of Israel. Then what does? bush is asking us to commit national suicide.

it is designed to kill more jews, and the road map to destruction must not be forced on Israelis

Bush, butt out of our politics, you have your chutzpa to tell us what to do. Olmert must be brought down immediately, before he destroyes us.

Each one more stupid than the next.

# 22 here has it exactly right re how to interpret what Bush said --

mr. president! you take ohlmert as your partner. the man is corrupt, a liar and dishonest. we have enough of them around here.
