President Bush is scheduled to visit Israel on January 9th 2008, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s office has confirmed to Ynet. Diplomatic officials in Jerusalem said the visit had been arranged during Olmert’s visits to the White House last week prior to and after the Annapolis peace conference.
Bush last visited Israel nearly a decade ago, while still serving as Governor of Texas.
The president’s visit is likely intended as a gesture of support for the recent US- mediated renewal of talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, talks which are based on Bush’s ‘road map’ for peace.

He’s coming to TWIST ARMS, empty outposts and get rid of checkpoints.. Is he bringing his sidekick, Condi with him, Laura is much more welcomed…
Folks, the only reason he is going to Israel and the PA is to look Presidential. He lost his mandate to govern long ago and he is going to spend the next 13 months trying to look Presidential. He is very concerned that he will go down in history as the worst President in almost 100 years … so what better back-drop than Israel (one of the few places on the planet that will tolerate him) to look like a world statesman.
Feel sorry for the man. He was so busy being God’s messenger on Earth, that he destroyed the US economy and our standing in the world.
If he read and was a student of history (as were many past presidents) then he would have known that his theories and ideas were flawed.
As Mark Twain said, “history doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme!”
to “left brooklyn”…that was a good one!!
Left Brooklyn – How did your Fundraiser for Hillary go? Maybe SEP 11th Bill was better.
