DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - Gov. Jeb Bush pledged to support Israel in its battle against terrorism and said Americans have a better understanding of the fear Israelis face daily after living through the Sept. 11 attacks.

During a Monday speech celebrating Israel's 56th Independence Day, Bush lauded his brother, President George W. Bush, for reinforcing the alliance between the two countries at a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

Gov. Bush said the April 14 meeting "made little doubt about our country's commitment to Israel and the vision of two states living in peace and security."

"This new United States policy, I think, will bring about the chance of lasting peace far better than the current status quo," Gov. Bush said. "And if there's any attempt to impose a different vision, the United States is committed to intervene and provide support to the state of Israel."

On edit:

Got it! Sorry.

I had to wonder, like you, if our other governors are going to be horning in, as well in our foreign affairs.

I'd like my Democratic Governor, Kathleen Sibelius (Kansas) (daughter of former Ohio Democratic Governor John Gilligan) to get her two cents worth in frequently, as well.
