| Israel says it's ready for a deal at Annapolis |
| 2007-11-28 |
| Israel is "ready now for a deal," said an Israeli official attending Tuesday's U.S.-brokered Mideast summit aimed at laying the groundwork for future peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas have "very good chemistry," the official said, adding that he is hopeful a document "will be finalized before we leave Washington Wednesday night." Olmert and Abbas met Monday night to hammer out a statement that could guide peace negotiations but could not come to an agreement. The official said some of the 40 nations represented at the summit have offered Israel a chilly welcome, but their participation alone is encouraging. "The Saudis won't shake our hands; the Syrians won't say nice things about us," the Israeli official said. "But they're here." |

| #6 IMHO, this is about Iran. The conference is a front for back room deals to isolate and scheme against the biggest threat to peace in the ME. By inviting Syria they have seperated the two allies and can put pressure on the weaker to shape up. The U.S. is not the power broker, rather the Arab League and SA hold the power over the mad mullahs and they know it. |

| #5 Hey! Didn't we see this movie before? I hope you are right and it is not umpteenth sequel to the one about disobeying God, worshiping idols, ignoring the warnings of prophets, Jerusalem is sacked and the Israelites are routed and enslaved. I'm hoping it will be more of the David or Sampson genre. |

| #3 Hey! Didn't we see this movie before? Abbas will make all sorts of promises, Israel will make all sorts of concessions and Ham-Ass will kill the deal. I think it was called 'roadmap' or 'roadkill' or something like that. |

| #2 HAARETZ/WORLDNEWS > OLMERT TO TELL BUSH: ISRAEL WILL NOT ALLOW IRAN TO DEV NUCLEAR WEAPONS. OLmert quoted as saying that any IDF strike = mil response is not only feasible vv MILITARY MEANS, BUT ALSO COST/BUDGET-EFFECTIVE. Hmmmm, gotta wonder iff Olmert is indir hinting that Israel has serious budget lapse(s). COLD WAR > USA-NATO did on occasion give or provide Israel massive financing. |
