If he wins the upcoming US presidential election John McCain will take a very different approach to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process than his fellow Republican, President George W. Bush.

And if McCain wins in November, the Bush vision of a Palestinian Arab state rising on the biblical Jewish lands of Judea and Samaria may be postponed indefinitely.

Israel National News cited two senior McCain advisors as telling a recent foreign policy retreat that pushing through an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal simply won't be a top priority for a McCain administration.

In fact, the advisors said they and their candidate feel it was a mistake for Bush to have so strongly promoted a peace process that with its current players and demands is doomed to failure.

They also said that as president, McCain would discourage, but not prevent, peace talks between Israel and Syria until the latter ceases to be a disruptive force in Lebanon's democratic process.

2. Bush didn't push a peace deal. Bush pushed an ill-advised election that put a terror group in power

... against the advice of everyone except his PNAC buddies.
