Israel's Prime Minister Brags About Treating GW And Condi Like A Pimp Treats His Hos

"In the night between Thursday and Friday, when the secretary of state wanted to lead the vote on a ceasefire at the Security Council, we did not want her to vote in favor," Olmert said in a speech cited by Agence France-Presse (AFP).

Pouring on political bravado, Olmert said he demanded to talk to Bush with only 10 minutes to spare before a UN Security Council vote on Thursday on a resolution opposed by Israel calling for an immediate ceasefire.

"I said 'get me President Bush on the phone'. They said he was in the middle of giving a speech in Philadelphia. I said I didn't care. 'I need to talk to him now,'" he recalled. Olmert described Bush, who leaves office on January 20, as "an unparalleled friend" of Israel.

"He got off the podium and spoke to me," he said.

"I told him the United States could not vote in favor. It cannot vote in favor of such a resolution," he recalled telling the American president. "He immediately called the secretary of state and told her not to vote in favor."

Fourteen of the Security Council's 15 members supported the resolution, which calls for an immediate ceasefire and an Israeli withdrawal from the bombed-out Gaza Strip.

Olmert said his phone-call and Bush's immediate intervention left Rice red-faced after she had "cooked up, phrased, organized and maneuvered" the resolution. "She was left shamed," he noted. "A resolution that she prepared and arranged, and in the end she did not vote in favor." The US, Israel's main ally, had initially been expected to voted in line with the other 14 but Rice later became the sole abstention.

I know, I know. It's "anti-Semitic" to suggest that Jews run America. We're all supposed to sit here and play dumb and refuse to acknowledge the obvious while Israel's Prime Minister BRAGS about treating America's "leaders" like his bitches.
