Both sides have now repeated and strengthened their claims. I think it is likely safe to assume that both of them are confirming the other as a liars and what actually happened was something else entirely. ] Source: Antiwar.com Authors: Jason Ditz Dated: 2009-01-14 Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s Monday comments, in which he claimed to have ordered President Bush to prevent an American vote in favor of the UN Security Council’s Gaza ceasefire resolution and publicly shamed Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in the process remains a hot story in the Israeli press, and has sparked a war of words between the prime minister’s office and the US State Department. The State Department immediately contradicted Olmert’s claims, insisting that "the government of Israel does not make US policy.” Spokesman Sean McCormack also suggested that Israel might want to “clarify or correct the record" with respect to the comments. Rice has dismissed Olmert’s claims as "fiction." The comments have sparked no small concern in Israel, where the fear is that Olmert's claims to be able to order the President of the United States around will only increase public opposition in America to Israel's influence on its foreign policy. Yet spokesmen for Olmert say that the prime minister stands behind his version of events. [ Hermit : Apparently it is desirable that Israel have this "influence" (as in, oppose AIPAC and your political career is over), it is simply not acceptable to have Americans noticing. ] « Last Edit: 2009-01-15 19:10:17 by Hermit » Report to moderator   Logged With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things.
