11-18-06 - Olmert's drums of war ** The Democrat's victory in midterm elections in the United States also lessened the likelihood that Bush will bomb Iran. Israel, it seems, is facing Ahmadinejad alone.
11-18-06 - Washington gets real ** A senior political advisor to the Republican Party who has criss-crossed America in his clients' Congressional election campaigns, estimated this week that the chances of an American attack have dropped to zero. This, in his opinion, is the implication of the Democrats' victory last week. The public does not want to hear about a new military adventure. Only a large terror attack in the United States, or some other shocking event that can be connected to Iran, would make it possible to enlist public opinion for new hostilities. Ambassador Ayalon disagreed with this assessment this week. He believes that Bush will stop Iran, even by force. A good assessment of the president's intentions, but not necessarily of his ability to realize them.
11-18-06 - Human shield deters Israel strike "The attack plan was cancelled because of the people there," he said. "We differentiate between innocent people and terrorists." Hilarious statement there. Evidently, this incident turned out to be a good PR op for Israel. The only thing that's stopping them from bombing all of those people is that the press will give it more coverage (since there's a greater number of people involved) and thus world condemnation will follow.
11-18-06 - Bolton in extraordinary outburst against United Nations Despite the resolution being significantly watered down at the behest of the United States, and being passing by 156 votes to seven, Bolton launched a blistering attack on the UN, and many of its members.

11-18-06 - The Stab in the Back This war was always about enhancing Israel's strategic position, and nothing else: not oil, not democracy, not WMD. The goal was to extend Israel's sphere of influence, and that is precisely what is occurring. To the victor go the spoils, and Hersh's revelations highlight the Israelis as the real winners of this war

11-18-06 - Aides to Abbas, Olmert to meet in Washington for summit meeting: report Sama news agency quoted Palestinian officials as saying that the U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has asked both Abbas and Olmert to send their aides in order to "discuss ways of removing obstacles that prevented the pair from meeting." I would like to believe that this is geniune. However, given these events toward peace also happened in the recent past and were seen as necessary to get Europe (and others) on board for the Iraq war, and given that Olmert and other Israeli officials were just here calling for someone to do something about Iran, I think that it is safe to say that the peace efforts now underway are toward the same ends: to get support for forthcoming action on Iran by the US.
