Unforgivable betrayal

"Unforgivable"

JERUSALEM (AFP) — US President George W. Bush warned on Thursday that allowing Iran to obtain a atomic bomb would be "an unforgivable betrayal" as he made his second visit to Israel in five months. "Permitting the world's leading sponsor of terror to possess the world's deadliest weapon would be an unforgivable betrayal of future generations," Bush told the Israeli parliament.
"America stands with you in breaking up terrorist networks and denying the extremists sanctuary. And America stands with you in firmly opposing Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions," he said.
Washington has spearheaded efforts at the United Nations to rein in Iran's ambitions to master the nuclear fuel cycle, accusing Tehran of seeking to build atomic weapons.

"Appeasement"

'Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before,' Bush said, then compared the approach to the appeasement of Nazi Germany. -George Bush May 15th, 2008

According to official Saudi media, the Palestinian problem, the crisis in Lebanon and the situation in war-torn Iraq featured in a first round of talks between Abdullah and Bush, whose visit to Saudi Arabia marks 75 years of official relations with the key US ally.
The White House meanwhile announced major new cooperation agreements with Saudi Arabia on civil nuclear power and protecting the kingdom's oil infrastructure which has come under attack by Islamist militants.
"The United States and Saudi Arabia have agreed to cooperate in safeguarding the kingdom's energy resources by protecting key infrastructure, enhancing Saudi border security, and meeting Saudi Arabia's expanding energy needs in an environmentally responsible manner," a White House statement said.
It said Washington and Riyadh would also sign an agreement on nuclear cooperation clearing the way for Saudi Arabia to receive enriched uranium for its reactors, without the need to master the fuel nuclear cycle itself as Iran has done. Official Saudi media later said the two countries signed "a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in nuclear energy."
