Ahead of visit, Bush talks Israel ties -- and pressure

With President Bush pressing the point on unauthorized outposts and Israel saying it will be cracking down as early as next week, will clashes like this one in 2006 at Amona between police and protesters be repeated?

"The message from the White House on the eve of President Bush's first presidential visit to Israel is that his staunch support for the Jewish state has set the stage for peace -- and given him room to exert some pressure on Jerusalem."

Very, very little pressure I'd wager ~ such as, Mr. Olmert sir, would you please consider stopping the slaughter of defenseless and innocent Palestinians, the destruction of their homes and farms, and the confiscation of their land?
