Bush is like the Mr. Magoo of Middle Eastern foreign policy, blundering his way through the darkness. He's now making ominous noises about taking care of Iran's nuclear program for Israel.

Bush has dispensed with the fiction of Israel as American client-state, and confirmed what we've always known, the U.S. is a vassal of Israel.
Bush just doesn't care how many American soldiers he gets killed. He doesn't care how obsequious he looks at Sharon's feet. He doesn't care how many Arab governments he destabilizes. He's blind. The sense of betrayal loyal Arab regimes must feel at Bush's treachery I cannot fathom. Bush doesn't even know the first rule of political horsetrading, you want support, you gotta give something back, he screwed the coalition partners on the fat contracts in Iraq, and now he slaps the necks of the Arab leaders who supported his machinations even when they violated their own political best interests. Incredible.
