How about letting Bush speak for himself to find out what he really thinks instead of inferring what he thinks by where the Israeli Prime Minister chooses to have a news conference.

President Bush called Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's
condemnation of terrorism an "incredibly positive sign"
Wednesday. He urged Israel to consider the consequences
of retaliating for the latest suicide bombing.
"Israel is a nation that is a sovereign nation, but whatever
response Israel decides to take, my hope, of course,
is that the prime minister keeps his vision of peace
in mind," Bush said.
"You've got to want peace to achieve peace," Bush said.
He spoke at the beginning of a meeting with Jordan's
King Abdullah II.

As I said before Bush can speak for himself.
