Reply #22: Lil Bush is gonna take the credit now for Carter's work

[DogPoundPup]

Bush Thursday reaffirmed his support for a Palestinian state after meeting in Washington with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.

The two presidents made brief statements to reporters and took no questions.

"I assured the president that a Palestinian state is a high priority for me and my administration -- a viable state, a state that doesn't look like Swiss cheese, a state that provides hope," Bush said. "It's in -- I believe it's in Israel's interest and the Palestinian people's interest to have leaders willing to work toward the achievement of that state."

Bush is pushing for a settlement between Israel and the Palestinians before he leaves office in January.
