SOME MIDEAST ALLIES CAN SAY 'NO': King Abdullah II of Jordan, whom The Jerusalem Post helpfully describes as a "key US ally" will never be confused with Olmert. According to The Jerusalem Post:

	Jordan's King Abdullah II flatly rejected a confederation with the Palestinians on Sunday, calling any such proposal at the current time a "conspiracy" against his kingdom and the Palestinians, a local newspaper reported. When was the last time we heard Olmert say: I am "fed up talking about this issue." or "We will not accept such solutions no matter what the pressures are."
Whoa...now just hold on a second!
