President Bush reaffirmed his commitment to Palestinian statehood in a meeting with Indonesia’s president. “Both presidents stressed their support for the establishment of a viable, independent, democratic and sovereign Palestinian state that would live side-by-side in peace with Israel,” said a joint statement released Monday after Bush met with Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono during Bush’s Asian tour. (At least, we must face reality and realize that they are not true friends.)

Betrayed Again. Forty years of nuclear ambiguity were blown by designated US defense secretary Robert Gates Tuesday, Dec. 5, at his Senate confirmation hearings. He also denied any guarantee against Iran using nuclear weapons against Israel. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claims that Iran has begun installing 3,000 centrifuges for uranium enrichment at a plant in central Iran, the first step towards industrial production. (Maybe now Israel will stop looking aver its shoulder and start doing what is good for Jews!)
