"It (European Union) is the weak link, but Olmert has the advantage of coming with a plan under which he is willing to give up territory,"

WTF does that mean? If the EU is a "weak link", why bother courting its support? But isn't that what Olmert's doing, with his "plan"? Is "reliable broker" US not enough? And if there's a shift in power perception because GWB looks more and more like a busted flush, why must Israel go on disparaging the EU?
