HONORED:
Bush asks Abdullah to see Sharon, Abbas (NEDRA PICKLER, September 22, 2005, Associated Press)
Sitting next to Bush in the Oval Office, Abdullah thanked Bush for his support for trying to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."I know that you want to find a solution that Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace and harmony," Abdullah said. "I hope, if we can help in that respect, that is a great honor for us."
Abdullah met with Sharon last week at the United Nations, their first talks in months and a further sign of warming relations between the Jewish state and the Arab world after Israel's Gaza withdrawal.

BFD. If Bush is serious, let's see him call for the leaders of Saudi Arabia to meet with Sharon.

Posted by: oj at September 22, 2005 6:32 PMNo they wont. Jerusalem is mentioned nowhere in the Koran.
