"Olmert may have been influenced, both in his "no negotiations with terrorists" stance, and in his decision to retaliate harshly for the Hamas and Hezbollah actions, by President Bush. The post-9/11 era has marked a new high in Israeli-U.S. relations, with Washington abandoning its past practice of criticizing Israel when it acts severely toward the Palestinians or other Arab parties. Starting with former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Israeli officials have taken to adopting Bush's War on Terrorism rhetoric." -Time.com

This is unadulterated bullshit and sometimes I wonder where Time gets its writers. FOTM is, Bush's rhetoric came from the neo-Trotskyites (aka neocons), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Likud Party. Iow, saying that Israeli officials have adopted Bush's War on Terrorism rhetoric is just more Likud propaganda to make Israel look acceptable to moronic Westerners. One of these days we're going to find out what Bush took from AIPAC in exchange for his unwavering Howdy-Doodyism.
