You have to take your hat off to Olmert. You would have to go a long way to exhibit the contempt for the US that he displayed this week.
In response to the news that Israel would receive $30 billion in U.S. military aid over the next decade, Olmert described the policy as an “important and significant improvement” in the amount of American military aid to Israel.
In other words, while the offer from the US is an “improvement”, we know they can do better.
