Olmert's statement on Iraq: Accepts that Iraq war was about Israel

When Bush invaded Iraq, people had different explanations for the reason behind it. Some thought it really was about War on Terror, many thought it was about oil, while some naive thought it was about “freedom” and “liberty” for “them” (for the Iraqi folks, you know).

However, there were also a few who knew that it was all about one thing, ISRAEL.

Not many people believed it at that time. But now Israel’s president himself is acknowledging that Bush duped his countrymen only to please its illegitimate child.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has caused a stir on his visit to Washington by praising U.S. operations in Iraq.

Following a meeting with U.S.President Bush in the Oval Office on Monday, the Israeli prime minister told a gathering of reporters afterwards, he was encouraged and impressed by the Iraq war, which from an Israeli perspective, had brought stability to the Middle East.

Olmert said, “We in the Middle East have followed the American policy in Iraq for a long time, and we are very much impressed and encouraged by the stability which the great operation of America in Iraq brought to the Middle East.”

He added, “We pray and hope that this policy will be fully successful so that this stability which was created for all the moderate countries in the Middle East will continue.”

Re: Olmert's statement on Iraq: Accepts that Iraq war was about Israel

I was listening to public radio, and it did mention an American official admitting the reason of Iraq war being Israel. I am trying to find the transcript of that program.
Yes, the above excerpt does not clearly state it.

Naw I think opposite would lead to a safer middle east. Maybe an Israeli prime minister who is a decent human being. Anyways I see that he is following Bush's, Cheney's, and Rummy's philosophy, there is no problem in middle east, all is well, as long as they reach their goals.
