Jerusalem is NONE of Secretary Rice's business. Where Jews may live ought to be off the negotiation table.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

The Secretary of State of the United States is arguing over the building of a sub-division. No, not submarines or an armored division, but 300 houses comprising something like “The Towers at Jerusalem Lodge.”

Condi should take her half-baked analogy of Palestine as Alabama circa 1960 and butt out. Our involvement isn’t doing our ally any favors, so we should just leave it alone.

Yes, that's why it wasn't included in the Annapolis joint statment. Olmert would have lost his job. Maybe Condi hasn't read the statement she engineered, maybe she simply changed her mind.

Lot's of folk have changed their minds.

The basis of our position remains that Jerusalem must never again be a divided city. We did not approve of the status quo before 1967; in no way do we advocate a return to it now
President George HW Bush, 1990

But something will happen when I'm president: as soon as I take office I will begin the process of moving the U.S. ambassador to the city Israel has chosen as its capital

"President Bush is committed to moving our embassy to Jerusalem. The process is ongoing. We have not started any actions yet." Colin Powell, March 2001
