"Bush is his vassal."

http://counterpunch.com/


Which of the two men is the leader of the greatest power on earth and which is the boss of a small client state?

A visitor from another planet, attending the press conference in Jerusalem, would find it hard not to answer: Olmert is the president of the great power, Bush is his vassal.

-snip - the politics of "flattery"-

The President and the Prime Minister have something else in common: not a word of what they said at the press conference had any connection with the truth.

-snip-very long - religious stuff-

But this time the red light went out quickly. The US Congress is not what it was, it seems that the Americans have no stomach for another war, the historical parallel was too obvious. Bush has been left without an option for war. He has been left with nothing.

Apart from Olmert's flattery, of course.
