The idea that President Bush is betraying Israel is myopic. If you believe that President Bush has not discussed his statement with the Israelis prior to it's announcement, you are living in a cave. I have listened to the Israeli counsel and in each case he has done nothing but praise the president for his actions. So I believe if they are not upset by the president when it is their future at stake what makes you think you have a better grasp on the situation. There is a great deal at stake with every decision the president makes. While we do not need Arab support for any future campaigns against the "axis of evil" we do need bases to operate from and alienating those countries that would have to host such bases would seriously restrict if not eliminate our ability to carry out those campaigns. Not every decision President Bush makes will be understood in their full context but IMOH I trust his judgement and that of his team
