Bush Speech to Israeli Parliament (Knesset)

Here is the link to video of the speech from C-SPAN. The President affirmed the biblical promise of the Lord granting the Holy Land to Israel and affirmed U.S. support for the State of Israel. The President condemned the type of naive appeasement endorsed by Obama in relation to Iran. John McCain backed the President strongly (see N.Y. Times link) and condemned Obama's naive approach to Iran in these words:

“I think that Barack Obama needs to explain why he wants to sit down and talk with a man who is the head of a government [Iran] that is a state sponsor of terrorism, that is responsible for the killing of brave young Americans, that wants to wipe Israel off the map, who denies the Holocaust. That’s what I think Senator Obama ought to explain to the American people.'’

Here is the text of the President's speech. My analysis: Obama has "Jimmy Carter" written all over him.
