Trust the ruskies to want to do things that make them feel good about themselves.
That doesn't necessarily include making you happy!
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert spoke with US President George W. Bush on Thursday afternoon, focusing primarily on ways of making progress in Israeli-Palestinian channels.
Olmert also updated Bush on talks the prime minister held in Germany, Italy and Jordan.
The prime minister met on Thursday with US Senators John Kerry and Christopher Dodd, who have been on a tour of the region. The senators updated Olmert on their visits to Iraq, Lebanon and Syria; however, they did not relay any messages from Syrian President Bashar Assad.
The Prime Minister's Office on Thursday also denied reports in the Palestinian media that a meeting had taken place between Olmert and his Lebanese counterpart, Fuad Saniora, in Sharm e-Sheikh.

"Trust the ruskies to want to do things that make them feel good about themselves."
I don't think it's about feeling good, I think it's all about $$$$, as discussed yesterday on this board. Of course, enough $$$$ can probably make some people feel good about themselves.
