Middle East leaders don't believe Bush any more either

it would seem to me that, since turning the middle east into an unqualified disaster area, middle eastern leaders would have abandoned bush a long time ago...

[T]he president's journey found friends both old and new near a state of panic. Mideast leaders expressed soaring concern over upheavals across the region that the United States helped ignite through its invasion of Iraq and push for democracy — and fear that the Bush administration may make things worse.

To Middle East observers, Bush can no longer speak for the United States as he did before because of the domestic pressure for a change of course in Iraq, said Nathan Brown, a specialist on Arab politics at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

"He can talk all he wants about 'staying until the job is done,' but these leaders can read about the American political scene and see that he may not be able to deliver that," Brown said.

but, guess who's still solidly in george's corner (besides laura and barney, of course)...?

The only regional leader to voice unqualified support for the Bush administration has been Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who has gone so far as to say that the Iraq invasion contributed to regional stability.

everybody knows israel is a u.s. proxy... (or is it the other way around, i forget...)

(thanks to crooks and liars...)
