Comments by John McCain to Israeli news outfit Haaretz

From this May 01, 2006 article at Haaretz which seems to be a political write-up on John McCain should he run for President:

As president, McCain would "micromanage" U.S. policy toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, because in his opinion, this is still the source of the ferment in the region: Every time an Arab leader wants to provide a distraction, he argues that the problem is due to Israel, and also in the matter of Iran, "we would not have been so concerned" over its nuclear program had it not threatened Israel with extinction.
