Aluf Benn, Haaretz Correspondent: ANALYSIS / No leader before Olmert has explicitly called for return to '67 borders
Talkback

... and I would suggest that those reports are telling him that there is ZERO chance of Israel gaining support from the Obama administration for anything other than the `67 status quo with some *very* minor border adjustments.

That`s the best deal Israel can get, and if it continues to procrastinate in the hope of a better deal then its just wasting everyone`s time.

And everyone else is getting well and truly fed up with waiting for Israel to add two and two together.

Israel`s high-water mark was exactly the day that Arafat died; Bush`s support was there for the taking for Sharon to ram just about ANY agreement down Abbas` throat, and Abbas would have had little option but to sign on the dotted line.

And Sharon didn`t even try; he simply turned his back on Abbas and did his own thing.

Worst mistake Israel ever made, by the most disasterous leader Israel has ever had.

Tho I`ll point out that Bibbi will soon have another chance to leap into first place....
