why would the US not only vote for the UN measure but sponser the thing?

I know this has become politically incorrect to say on this forum but could the reason be doing so is in America's best interest?

It may be...but all the bush supporters last weekend were so proud that Bush more less gave Israel the green light and wanted Israel to kick some butt even with the reports that the operation may take 4-6 more weeks, now he changes his mind out of the blue and none of his supporters(or very few of them) have the guts to crtitize him

Hopefully it is step 1 of 2: Next, a resolution demanding Arafat immediately go on Al-Jazeera and condemn Hamas, Hizbollah, Al-Aqsa MB and IJ, and that all suicide bombers are disgraceful enemies of the Palestinians. That will flush out the phoneys.
