At the Knesset plenum, Bush's declarations regarding America's political and military commitment to Israel's defense were most promising. ++ Yet the Hezbollah's recent take over of Lebanon was met with absolute silence on behalf of the US and its Allies. ++ "America is tired, emasculated, and torn on the inside. It can only provide its protectorates in the Middle East with words." ++ Since the US is not a shield but a "partner for peace and a supporter during war," it will only be prepared to help when Israel moves first.
