I agree about the body language and voice change. I really felt this urge of disgust towards Bush when he caved like that. Is he that clueless?

I'm willing to give Bush a break here. He said "without delay" not "immediately." Bush knows Arafat is scum. The "without delay" can be interpreted as "don't delay your exit after you're done." And Sharon has promised as much to Bush, with his "we're hurrying, but avoiding civilian casualties is slowing us down" phone call.
Unfortunately, Bush needs Arab cooperation to take out Saddam. The flare up in the disputed territories is Araft's attempt to keep the Arabs out of Bush's column.
