Yahoo! News – Bush Backs Off Concessions to Israel
At a joint news conference with the king, Bush did not repeat the assurances he gave Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (news – web sites) last month that he supports Israel’s retention of some settlements on the West Bank as part of an overall agreement with the Palestinians.
Bush said all such issues must be negotiated against the backdrop of U.N. Security Council resolutions of 1967 and 1973 that called on Israel to withdraw from captured land.
“The United States will not prejudice the outcome of those negotiations,” Bush said in response to widespread Arab and European complaints that he was tilted toward Israel in the long-standing dispute with the Arabs.
flip flop moron… (check out the Canadian Bush tour bus on the link… too bad it doesn’t fly between cities like Bush does when he pretends to use it)
