Olmert Says He Made Rice Change Vote

[moe.ron]

This is an interesting twist

WASHINGTON — In an unusually public rebuke, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Israel said Monday that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice had been forced to abstain from a United Nations resolution on Gaza that she helped draft, after Mr. Olmert placed a phone call to President Bush.

Dunno if it's true or not, since Washington flatly denied it. However, it's a very balsy move for Olmest to boast about it. Is he flexing his muscle to Obama, saying that he has the power to change US vote in the UN?
