BUSH THROWS ISRAEL UNDER THE BUS, ENDORSES ARAB "PEACE PLAN"

SO MUCH FOR THE ROAD MAP, THE BUSH DOCTRINE AND RESOLUTION 242.

U.S. endorses Arab peace plan as foundation for Mideast peace (Haaretz)
On the first day of her Middle East tour, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Tuesday signed a joint statement with Egypt, Jordan and six Persian Gulf states, endorsing the 2002 Arab peace initiative as one of the foundations for Middle East peace. Visiting the region with Rice is Secretary of Defense Robert Gates.

The initiative offers Israel normalized relations with all Arab countries in return for full withdrawal from the territory Israel captured in 1967.

IN CASE YOU'VE FORGOTTEN, THIS "PEACE PLAN" CALLS FOR ISRAEL TO WITHDRAW TO INDEFENSIBLE BORDERS AND FOR PALESTINIAN "REFUGEES" TO FLOOD ISRAEL.
