The US is circumventing the Arabs at the UN by pushing their own version of a resolution, which they discussed with Israel, per a report I heard on Fox. Israel basically said fine, knowing that the US is trying to mollify the Arabs as the plans for the Iraq attack continue.

Exactly, the resolution called for them to quit demolishing buildings. Big deal, that's not much of a resolution in my book.

I hope you're right and this is just part of the "chess game" as they say. After Bush's recent speech to the U.N. telling them that their policies have failed and that their current behavior is unacceptable, I don't think Bush would suddenly become the U.N.'s best buddy and smack Israel. Israel has already achieved its goal and this latest action is designed to keep the enemy off-balance.

Da Buush is sure keeping the new "Resolution Writing Department" busy - understand they have over 437 people working out of (Lon) Cheney's work station.

Who says Da Buush doen't want bigger government - submitting Draft resolutions on behalf of Israel -s absolutely crazy - the man's OC
