White House Spokesman Robin Gibbs would not pledge to guarantee Israel's security if its existence is in danger, in a Wednesday press briefing. In reference to recent Middle East turmoil, he was asked: "If Israel is threatened by any of these new governments or Hamas and Hizbullah, if its existence is in danger, would the US come to its assistance?
Gibbs answered: "Regardless of the situation facing any government in the region, our friendship, our partnership and our alliance with Israel is unchanged."
Gibbs also said the Administration could not force a peace settlement on Israel and the PA. "The president has been involved from day one in seeking a lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians," he said, but added that "We cannot force those two into steps that they are unwilling to take steps to do themselves."

ANd I wish I knew WHY FR is publishing my posts X 3!!
So do I.
I was thinking maybe Sir Robin the Chicken Hearted.
Run away! Run away!
I wouldn’t believe anything Gibbs had to say either way.
He should have then been questioned as to what the administrations understanding of "our friendship, our partnership and our alliance with Israel" Actually is.
Gibbs answered: "Regardless of the situation facing any government in the region, our friendship, our partnership and our alliance with Israel is unchanged."Yeah, as if *that's* a good sign for US-Israel relations. Zero has made himself look (at best) like a petulant child when dealing with Israel, and now with Egypt, and soon (again) with Israel, and here on FR the very same nicks who opposed Bush's nation-building are 100 percent in favor of Zero's doing the same thing, while pretending it's not the same -- but with a pro-jihadist and anti-democratic focus. Thanks Aquamarine.
