| EA: "It is true that there was no U.S.-Israel `memorandum of understanding,` which is presumably what Mrs. Clinton means when she suggests that the `official record of the administration` contains none,` " Elliot, there can`t **be** "an understanding" unless there is a written record setting out just what, exactly, the two sides "understand". Otherwise one side always runs the risk of ending up being dragged along by the nose. EA: "But she would do well to consult documents like the Weissglas letter, or the notes of the Aqaba meeting "... GOT THAT? As in: if you want to know what the Americans "understood" then listen to what the Israelis were "saying", because whatever the Israelis "said" was what the Americans "understood" they had just agreed to. A classic example of Sharon dragging Bush along by the nose..... |
