And it is true that the Bush administration has recently abandoned decades old policies towards the Palestinians and the West Bank.

So? Did those policies do anyone any good? They ended up in the right place .....the dustbin of history.

Perhaps, but it is definitely a change.

The question is, does the Bush administration feel like they have to make such changes because we are losing the WOT?

When Tenant says it will take 5 years to build the intel structure we need, you have to wonder.

No. They made the changes because the enemy has finally been positively identified.
