Bush Begins Week in Mideast
Edited on Wed Jan-09-08 10:47 AM by spanone
~snip~ JERUSALEM — President Bush arrived in Israel on Wednesday to begin a weeklong trip in the Middle East intended to overcome deep skepticism by Israelis and Palestinians about the prospects of a negotiated peace in the last year of Mr. Bush’s presidency.

A sign in a field, visible from his helicopter during the quick flight to Jerusalem, declared, “Hands off Jerusalem,” the city whose ultimate status remains among the most difficult issues dividing Israelis and Palestinians. A new barrage of rockets landed in Israel from the Gaza Strip. And Israeli settlers began erecting new outposts on Palestinian lands before dawn in Hebron.

1. Be afraid.....be very afraid......
Chimpy doesn't have a very good record of handling the Middle East with great deftness and diplomatic skill.
