George W Bush jumps at their order and hurries to comply.
Sure... there is a reluctance to going back to borders - and plenty quibbling over the "withdrawal of Israel's armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict" when the word "all" was not used before "territories". Kinda sad and pathetic excuse

Meanwhile, Israel still has not complied with 242 and has been treating this with some contempt for years.

At the same time we have Bush protesting to the UN in his speech over Iraq - "Are security council resolutions to be honoured or cast aside without consequence?"

According to George's own question - he clearly thinks they should be caste aside - for some countries, but not for all - depending on personal agenda
