Hole-y Metaphor!

President Bush with Palestinian Authority President Abbas today:
“I assured the President that a Palestinian state is a high priority for me and my administration — a viable state, a state that doesn’t look like Swiss cheese.”
President Bush with Jordan’s King Abdullah in March:
“I said a state has got to be continuous — a contiguous territory; it can’t look like Swiss cheese.”
President Bush in Saudi Arabia in January:
“when I said contiguous, that means contiguous territory that does not — Swiss cheese.”
President Bush in Ramallah in January:
“Swiss cheese isn’t going to work when it comes to the outline of a state.”
Of course, some things are worse than cheese from the Swiss. Like chocolate cake from the Germans.
