"Leaders of the American Jewish community expressed anger at Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, following his support for President Bush's Iraq war, The Jewish Week of New York reported.

"Six days after voters resoundingly rejected the Bush administration's Iraq policies, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, speaking at the White House, just as resoundingly endorsed the war," The Jewish Week said.

"A wide range of Jewish leaders anxiously dismissed Olmert's words praising the administration for bringing 'stability' to Iraq as little more than an attempt to buck up a president distraught by last week's election results and the continuing chaos in Iraq," the report added.

According to the Jewish Week, Olmert told Bush: "We in the Middle East have followed the American policy in Iraq for a long time, and we are very much impressed and encouraged by the stability which the great operation of America in Iraq brought to the Middle East. We pray and hope that this policy will be fully successful so that this stability which was created for all the moderate countries in the Middle East will continue."

The comments were blasted by American Jewish leaders and Israeli analysts, who "questioned Olmert's grasp of regional security issues."

4. Bush is also impressed by the "stability" Olmert brought to Lebanon and the Gaza

How much more stable can these idiots make things?

I predict instability in DC and Jersualem. Regimes change.
