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?

He's not flexing toward Obama - he's flexing toward the upcoming Israeli elections. Actually, you could argue that the timing and structure of the entire Gaza offensive has been a literal affront to Netanyahu and the upcoming election cycle.
