While President Bush’s Iraq policies have been widely criticized, at least one world leader is praising his actions—Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert: “I stand with the president because I know that Iraq without Saddam Hussein is so much better for the security and safety of Israel and all of the neighbors of Israel which have any significance to us. Iraq without Saddam is much better for us than Iraq with Saddam Hussein, and thank God for the courage and determination and leadership manifested by George W. Bush in facing this challenge admirably as he did.”
