A tired old joke, yes, but it was the first thing that came to mind after reading about Tom DeLay's speech to the Knesset:

Zionists find ally in DeLay / Evangelical Texan's speech at Knesset stirs conservatives, disturbs Palestinians: "'Standing up for good against evil is very hard work; it costs money and blood,' DeLay told a thronged hall in the Knesset building. 'But we're willing to pay.' "

DeLay's speech was, as you might expect, red meat to the lions, completely undercutting Bush's "road map". Call me old fashioned, but I didn't think Congressmen were supposed to be running around making their own foreign policy.
