#2 "Bush decided that if Abu Mazen can pull this off ( stop killing jews, bring Hamas under control ), his demands deserve close attention."

If that happens, it would, indeed, be a noteworthy event. Sadly, I expect Satan will be ice skating to work before any of this transpires.

#4 Actually, the catalyst might be arms sales to China and other American rivals ... there was a thread on this a few days ago where the universal agreement was "Israel's only our friend as long as it is 100%" ...

#5 Methinks it's a hint, a nudge, a tap on the shoulder in the dark...

Whom, pray tell Sharon, do you think are your friends?

Perhaps if we deduct the value of the sales (+300% for "damages") from our annual aid package, develop a sudden kink in the transfer of any "new technology" in the pipeline (Can you say "bunker buster"?), our erstwhile friends will "get it"...

#6 Woudn't be a first time a POTUS made a fool of himself (desperatly) seeking Arabs allies. That's why you have Senate --- to keep White House from running wild with briliant ideas.
Israel is, and will be for foreseeable future, US's ONLY ally in Middle East

#7 the Senate's full of Hagels, don't count on them. W is the best thing to happen to Israel since the collapse of Barak's Roadmap
