The US meet briefly to discuss our official position and to find out from Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, what the Israel group had discussed. In an ironic twist of history, Secretary Rice disagreed with President Bush on his plan for peace in the Middle East. President Bush's inability to control his own cabinet is another display of this administration's continuous mistakes the last several years. President Bush seems open to a limited degree but not his own supporters.
It would appear that all groups agree on UN peace keeping troops within Israel-Palestine but for what purpose, from what country, and to what degree is a matter of debate. Israel mistakingly seems to believe they can clean up this mess and return to the status quo with minimial changes.

Senator Biden explains the meeting superbly. As a member of the meeting, I was surprised with the disagreement between President Bush and Secretary Rice regarding the US position concerning Israel returning to pre-67 borders. Other members briefly attempted to debate the pros and cons of the US position at this time. The Israeli position at this time seems perplexing as to their lack of coordination with leaders of settlements. I question if this will continue throughout the meetings.

What is the purpose of having advisors if they simply behave as "yes men?" Although I chose to follow another course, the positions outlined by various cabinet members that did not fit my vision are deeply appreciated. I created the cabinet to provide advice and execute policy. Although their advice was not chosen as policy, I am sure the professionallism of the cabinet will shine through, and it will execute the policy perfectly.
George W. Bush (David Giattino), President of the United States of America
As previously mentioned the meeting was indeed to iron out a uniform policy for the administration and to meet with Secretary Rice about her meeting. We discussed the problem at hand and offered various solutions. The President then made his decision and it is now my goal and that of the cabinet to execute the wishes of the President.

President Bush and I have been involved in various negotations with different members of the international community in regards to the recent tragedy of Mrs.Clinton's Death. The account of our recent meeting in regards to our constantly forming policy towards this tragedy is a disappointing showing of dissent. These accounts appear to be attempts by the senators to undermine the current efforts of our adminstration to deal with a tragic event. I would hope that the american representatives in this situation would unite much as our nation has in light of this tragedy.
In regards of policy President Bush and I have met and discussed the policy and I plan to carry out the policy of President Bush.
Would it work to only have the leadership of Israel held responsible for what happened, tried in International Court after an investigation if necessary and have all of this resolved quickly? If the talks about the creation of a Palestinian state are accurate, should Israel become a member of NATO to protect itself from angry neighbors on all sides? Or is the US going to continue to punish the people of Israel for a few mens mistake if it were anyones at all?

Condoleeza Rice took an entirely irrational perspective, that does favor the longivity of Israel. The President of America was killed by the profundity of Olmert's negligence and stupidty, yet Condoleeza Rice has not taken a very drastic approach towards handling our nation (Israel). Dr. Rice wants to currently freeze transactions with Israel, but is still very sympathetic with Israel, maybe because Hilary was killed. President Bush has taken the stance that only seems logical, stop funding to Israel and punish them for their actions. Thank you PM Olmert for having our greatest ally debate the notion of supporting Israel. Olmert, you shoudl resign.
