But if Israel acts, Bush will not condemn it

He will. Remember the Passover massacre in 2002? 30 murdered. Israel went to Arafat's home in Rammalah and surrounded it. Bush started saying publically that Israel must back off and withdraw.

It is not 2002. Part of the reluctance then was mere "move order". We wanted a clear shot at Iraq, and that meant it was not the time. Iraq has been done. Stop being scared of shadows and looking for excuses abroad. Move.

Personally, I think they shouldn't have "surrounded" it, but should have razed it -- once they knew the rat was in it.

If you're going to be condemned anyway, you might as well get the job done.
