CRAWFORD, Texas - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert thanked President Bush on Friday for his work on a resolution to stop violence between Israel and Hezbollah, the White House said. It was the first direct talks between the two leaders since the fighting began.

The eight-minute phone call with Bush at his ranch in Texas was initiated by Olmert, said Frederick Jones, spokesman for the National Security Council at the White House.

Olmert endorsed a Mideast cease-fire plan that the United States and France proposed Friday at the United Nations.

"Prime Minister Olmert thanked President Bush for the work he had done on the draft U.N. resolution on the Lebanon crisis," Jones said. "The president expressed his view that the crisis was provoked by Hezbollah with the support of Iran and Syria and that we need to ensure that the reach of the Lebanese government extends throughout the country."

I believe he should be calling Chirac and Putin and so many others before the vacationing idiot boy.

Probably realy thanking him for the delay. He got a lot more dead people today!

little pissant just eats this shit up. Makes the never elected, totally inept little chimp feel very self important.

pigfarm ..how nice. Does the rest of the world see what's going on as we're stuck here captive in a "1984" book?

thanks for all the cluster bombs.

But now it is all a matter of face saving.
But the long terms goals are achieve.
All issue address.

The main question is will the promise of latter resolution on this issue be follow through.
And will it be respected once it is pass.

At the end of it all the choice really rest with Israel.

They chose the path which they want to walk.
