Bush to Olmert: 'Why are you giving Assad the Golan for nothing?'
US President George W. Bush asked Israeli Prime Minister Ehud K. Olmert why he is giving Syrian President Assad the Golan for nothing. Olmert had no answer. U.S. President George Bush believes that Israel is offering Syria the Golan Heights without getting anything in exchange, according to sources briefed on his White House meeting with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert last week.Some of you may be wondering why Olmert is still Prime Minister in light of the announcement this past week that he is going to be indicted for taking double and triple payments for airfares for overseas speaking engagements (and not reporting them to the income tax authorities). While politicians across the spectrum have called on Olmert to resign, Olmert refuses to go. And so long as he remains Prime Minister, the 'Supreme Court' has ruled that he and the 'transition government' that he heads have the right to continue negotiations with the 'Palestinians' and the Syrians. And to release 250 more 'Palestinian' terrorists, which Olmert plans to bring to the cabinet on Sunday.
After Olmert updated Bush on Israel's indirect talks with Syrian President Bashar Assad, the U.S. president demanded, "Why do you want to give Assad the Golan for nothing?" the sources said.
"It's not for nothing," Olmert insisted. "It's in exchange for a change in the region's strategic alignment."
Bush persisted: "Why should you believe him?" And to that, Olmert did not reply.
Olmert's own Kadima party has condemned the Likud for not calling for Olmert to resign. After keeping him in power for the last two and half years, now they want him to quit?

Hows abouts we give Assad Olmert for nothing?
That's an excellent suggestion considering Olmert wants to trade terrorists for nothing! I'd trade him to Hamas for Galid Shalit and never look back!
Norman, frankly if we gave Olmert to Hamas for nothing in return, we'd still come out ahead.
Carl, did you know it's in their genes?
So that's like we're ants in their pants?
Wow! Now I know they really hate us.
