Wait a second – Democrats from the left are attacking Bush for his
\n blind, one-sided support of Israel, and his lack of sympathy for the
\n Arab side of the Middle East conflict.  So what is behind today’s
\n Kerry’s announcement of his "unwavering" support for special ties with
\n Israel, and his condemnation of the Bush regieme’s "sweetheart" deals
\n with Arab Saudi Arabia? Can we have it both ways, or is this another
\n example of an Orwellian "Department of Peace" running the war?<\/p>\n

LAKE WORTH, Fla. (Reuters) – Democrat John Kerry on Monday voiced
\n unwavering support for special U.S. ties with Israel and vowed to end "sweetheart
\n relationships" with Arab countries like Saudi Arabia that he said
\n funded terror.<\/p>\n

Courting the Jewish vote in Florida, the state at the center of the disputed
\n 2000 election, the presumptive Democratic nominee cited a report that
\n President Bush and his senior advisers made "a secret White House
\n deal" with the Saudis to deliver lower gas prices.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
