Ok - let me make sure I understand the latest cut and paste. Your point is that a speech by an Israeli official is very close to speeches given by American officials. Therefore, your conclusion is that this Israeli official tells the VP what to tell Bush to say. I wonder if you saw the Vice President on Meet the Press today. I was trying to watch as someone very divided on how I would vote in the next election. Tim Russert had been promoting the show and I knew he was excited. His ratings dwarf the other shows as he is able to rip into the typical politicial non-answers easily with his combination of wit, preparation and down home humility. I wondered how the VP would look. This is just my opinion, but I felt Cheney came across as incredibly prepared, well-informed and really didn't give an inch even on areas that I thought he would not be able to respond, such as Haliburton. I found him credible. I want you to note that I don't believe there was one question about the Israeli Palestinian issue. My reason for bringing this up here is that whether you like Cheney or not, I don't believe there is a person in the world who can tell him what to say and certainly not some Israeli official. As for the President, that's another matter. But if the premise is that Cheney is really the one in charge, then he is the one in charge and no Israeli is telling him what to do.
