Ludicrous statements of the day, from two leaders who insist on telling the world that up is down and terrorists are “moderate:” Bush and Olmert discuss Mideast.
WASHINGTON - President Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Tuesday sought to bolster Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in his battle with Hamas for primacy, calling him a moderate voice and the only true leader of the Palestinian people.
Bush and Olmert, before meeting in the Oval Office, both spoke positively to reporters of the prospect for new talks between Abbas and the Israelis.
“I am going to make every possible effort to cooperate with him,” the prime minister said. Bush called Abbas “the president of all the Palestinians” and “a reasonable voice amongst the extremists.”
