This people don't give a s*** about the Palestinians,which disgusts me.
It looks to me like they are just working out the most profitable and reasonable(not honourable) deal,amongst themselves,to allow the the oil pipeline to pass through ALL THESE nations toward the sea and out to Europe,no matter how many bodies of Palestinian women,children and elderly are buried around it!
America stormed into Iraq because it has THE SECOND LARGEST crude oil resources on the planet,RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO IRAN, which has the LARGEST CRUDE OIL RESERVES on the planet!!!You think these greasy oil corporations and their terrorist CEO's give a hoot about the Palestinians?
They have NO INTENTION of solidifying an honourable deal,they will just keep waving the fuzzy carrot on the stick UNTIL IT ROTS AND FALLS OFF!
Arab,Persian or Israeli etc etc, they will continue the collective genocide of Arab Palestinians ALL FOR THE SAKE OF STOLEN LAND AND f****** oil pipelines!
Makes me sick,and is TOTALLY unethical and IMMORAL.
Olmert has NO intention of performing any humane 'miracles'for the Palestinian people,AND as far as the other "chosen"(as if) Israeli hawks are concerned the Palestinians are 'garbage'to be pushed into the already sewage SODDEN sea,where the marine reserves are choking to death,instead of feeding the people.
In fact,whilst Bush and Olmert are still in their 'hot-seats', ANY DEAL made with Israeli,Syrian,Turkish(they'll be getting something from it,don't worry),or anyone who's a back-stabber will have a DEFINATE RANK ODOROUS SMELL to it, AND won't be worth the paper it's written on. Common-sense tells you that,if people care to pick up the signals lol!
Olmert and,FOR SURE,BUSH SHOULDN'T EVEN BE GIVEN the luxury of CLAIMING any glory for ANY "Peace Deal" farce,whilst in office! I would put it in the hands of men who deserve it,in Gods eyes!
And I say that as a true-blooded American patriot,who is ashamed of what the Bush 'CARTEL' has done to MY BELOVED COUNTRY and its long-fought-for integrity and ever precarious international reputation.
If they give Bush/Olmert the satisfaction of a "peace deal" in return for lucrative oil deals(Iraqi and Iranian),that's like pinning a Nobel Peace Prize on the devils ar**. LOL!
Pinning the tail on the donkey is NOTHING!
Are other Arab neighbours really SO COMFORTABLE IN THEIR own SELF-INDULGENT,fiscal lap of luxury that they neglect their own and go with the old sad cheap joke:
When is an arab not an arab?
When he's a Palestinian!
Because,I tell you guys I AIN'T laughing! And it's about time that the middle east and the west recognised that these indigenous,proud and INCREDIBLY patient and enduring people have been RACIALLY AND ETHNICALLY abused for long enough!

But,don't expect ANY honourable DEALS from back-stabbers and liars! In fact if a "deal" is without honour,it is dead from the OFFSET!
The ink on the paper is only as solid and honourable as the hands holding the PEN that sign the treaties! And some of the PRESENT hands leave a LOT TO BE DESIRED!
Peace,Salaam,Shalom!
p.s. But at least Manchester United won the UEFA Cup! Yeeeeeeh!
Rock on Ronaldo!

Very interesting; however, if Olmert leaves will his succesor follow through with the deal? After Rabin died so did the negotiations with the Palestinians.

Last month, a lot was made in the media about Israel's mysterious air raid in Northern Syria on Sept 6, 2007 when the news broke that the CIA has confirmed to Congress that the target was a nuclear reactor built with North Korean help. At that time, Israel's silence about the incident and the Syrian president's behavior were pointing to a more important story.

Today, the Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, has announced that Israel and Syria are holding indirect peace talks mediated by Turkey.
