What you’ve missed is that apparently acting Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert called GWB 10 minutes before last week’s UN Security Council cease fire resolution vote, and convinced him to instruct Condi to abstain in the voting, even though she had helped forge the resolution. Then he insulted GWB, Condi, and Americans who have supported Israel for years by bragging about it in a speech, saying he had “shamed” her.

Would really be interested in your take on that.
