Abrams: Bush Never Agreed to Take 100,000 Refugees
(Jerusalem Post) Gil Hoffman - Former U.S. President George W. Bush did not and could not have agreed to accept 100,000 Palestinian refugees as former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert claimed Sunday, former U.S. deputy national security adviser Elliott Abrams told the Jerusalem Post on Monday. "No president has the power to make such a commitment. We have immigration laws and they don't allow that kind of move by a president.... Moreover, we would never have committed to a specific number anyway, nor did Olmert ask us to or raise that number," Abrams said.
