Close friends of the President? Then, why don't we hear from the President himself?: We have made it very clear, through Colin Powell's office, that we will have no representative there, so long as they pick on Israel, as long as they continue to say Zionism is racism. If they use the forum as a way to isolate our friend and strong ally, we will not participate. President George W. Bush, speaking on the Durban Conference, Aug. 24, 2001 Or maybe Colin Powell's words are good enough: "Our support for Israel is unchanged for 50 years now," Powell told the House International Relations Committee during a hearing that was billed as an examination of the State Department budget but was focused almost entirely on nonfiscal foreign policy issues. "U.S. support for the security of Israel will always be there." --Colin Powell, March 7, 2001, before House Intl. Relations Committee
