More than the usual summit rhetoric?
By Andrew Marr
BBC News political editor


In the end, there was probably only one word that really mattered at the rain-swept Blair-Bush Washington summit: that word was "capital".

The immensely powerful, unconstrained re-elected US President promised over the next four years to "spend the capital of the United States" trying to create a free and democratic Palestinian state.

If he means it, that is a formidable promise.

But it depends on the Palestinian elections producing a new leadership that is committed to the "road map" solution of two states, Israel and Palestine, and is not dominated by the more extreme groups now jockeying for position in the post-Arafat Palestine; and is utterly committed to extirpating terrorism.

CAPITAL, as in $$$$$$$$$? US taxpayers' $$$$$$$$$$ in Palestibne as opposed to Israel?

2. I wonder what the real agenda is in Eurasia... I wonder what their real
global/economic plan is... a McDonalds on every corner in Baghdad? A Wendy's in Bejing?? 711's in Tehran?? BP in control of Iran's oil once again?? I wonder what this is really all about when you come right down to the hidden facts.
