Bush plan not expected to lead to talks - BUT - Cabinet expected to ease restrictions on Palestinians

Behind the scenes is where this intractible (not a cause of terrorism) Middle East problem will be sorted out.

I am really getting tired of the US being blamed because two countries hate each other.

Jerusalem doesn't belong to Bush, so he'll have to find some other bargaining chip to use with the arabs.

[etcetera]

" Arab states - Saudi Arabia in particular - are not cooperating at the level the US would like to see, particularly in terms of cracking down on Saudi financial support for Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network. "

Appeasement of the Arabs will not work, they will never help the U.S. Attempts by the Bush administration to make them good coalition members will fail. What the Arabs want is the elimination of Israel. So unless Pres. Bush is willing to sell out Israel, which the American people would never stand for, he would do better to support his true friends and allies and forget the Arabs.

Your ability to read Bush's and Israel's mind, and see "behind the scenes" is impressive. You using tarot cards?
