I wish there was more reporting on Olmert's visit, which interestingly coincides with both Lieberman's and Bush's sabre rattling at Iran - and especially when Clinton's and AIPAC's friend Dennis Ross had this to say recently:

Dennis Ross: "...In dealing with a swiftly advancing nuclear program, slow motion is a highly troubling approach. By relying on it, Washington ensures that its objectives and means are out of sync. It would be better to use the UN Security Council while simultaneously going outside the organization by working with allies that have leverage -- such as the Europeans, the Saudis, and the Japanese. All of these parties fear the prospect of Iranian nuclear armament, so a coordinated strategy is essential to bring about a mutually preferred outcome on the matter. The Iranian nuclear problem is reaching such a stage that the Israelis are putting the United States on notice regarding the usefulness of the diplomatic path. Israel is beginning to arrive at the conclusion that Western diplomacy is not going to produce a desired outcome. If the United States does not want the Israeli military to provide its own answer, it is time to rethink American diplomatic strategy and hasten to make it work."

I mean, frankly, I'm a little alarmed at what he is alluding to... isn't anyone else?
