The real blood-for-oil

It’s been so long since Bush’s speech about not tolerating governments that support terrorism that even he has forgotten it. Else why his latest call for continuation of the long-discredited "peace process" between Israel and the bloodthirsty, terror-sponsoring and promoting Palestinians? Not only that, but he sends the Palies $190 million in aid, which everyone who stops to think about it knows only goes to more arms, ammo and suicide belts. Presumably, it’s all about oil. Keeping the Saudis and Jordanians and other Arabs believing the US is "trying" to resolve the "Palestinian problem," so that our oil keeps flowing without interruptions. The oil’s obviously important, but being in the pocket of the Saudis and the Palestinians ain’t hardly. You have to wonder how much money the Saudis will be paying W when he leaves office. After all, they are one of the biggest backers of his daddy’s library at Texas A&M.

UPDATE  I’m quite wrong, says Israeli scholar Michael B. Oren in the WSJ: "The president isn’t selling out Israel."
