Gasbag Condy Rice returns hastily deflated from the Middle East

Gasbag secretary of state Condy Rice beat a hasty retreat from her meetings Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority. He won't resume negotiations with the hawkish Olmert government in Tel Aviv. She left for Washington, and the Israeli tail who wags the US dog on Palestine went back in full body armour and troops into Gaza spreading rapine and death and more destruction. Rice and her master Herr Bush could put a quick end into Israel's unrestricted war against Hamas by withholding economic and military aid from Tel Aviv. They won't for obvious reasons, wedded as they are to the policy that Israel can do no wrong and added to that 2008 is a presidential election year where Jewish money and votes could a lot in the big states with large electoral college votes. You have to wonder why gasbag Rice went to Egypt then to Palestine with a brief few hours in Israel in the first place. Did she think her sermonising would move Israel and the Palestinian authority to do her bidding? She's a fool if she had so thought. The US roadmap is deader than a door nail and Herr Bush's full and undconditional support for Israel is so wrong that it boggles the mind as to its utter stupidity!
