"Olmert avoided explicit comment on the Republicans' fortunes during Washington talks with Bush earlier this month. But in a speech to visiting American Jews, Olmert made clear he had few regrets about the changes wrought by the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

"I know all of his (Bush's) policies are controversial in America. There are some who support his policies in the Middle East, particularly in Iraq, and some who do not," he said.

"I stand with the president because I know that Iraq without Saddam Hussein is so much better for the security and safety of Israel, and all of the neighbors of Israel without any significance to us," added Olmert, who was speaking in English."

Well I'm so happy they're happy.

3. Really?

Is that why Iran is now breathing down the neck of Israel?

6. Well, I hope Israel is happy

with a radicalized and much more powerful Iran, that will probably manage to get nukes now that we've rendered ourselves impotent to deal with them.

I certainly won't be crying any tears for Israel's increasingly precarious geopolitical situation.
