Re: Israelis fear Blair's influence over Bush >>Israel protested to Tony Blair yesterday at what it called his "worrying and outrageous" comments linking the war in Iraq to a settlement of the Palestinian conflict, and at Jack Straw's accusations of western double standards over the enforcement of UN resolutions on Israel.<< As usual, no surprise to anyone about this kind of yelling and protesting from Israel. >>However, some of Mr Sharon's aides are counting on powerful hawks in the US administration and the power of the pro-Israel lobby to offset Mr Blair's influence once the Iraq war is out of the way. "I don't think basic American policy will change," said Zalman Shoval, a former ambassador to Washington. "And we think Blair is realistic enough to realise that every time someone tries to set a fixed timetable it blows up in their face. He won't want to push this too far."<< Again, no doubt that Bushies will silence Blair.
