Washington, DC - President Bush Considering November Tour of Middle East

Washington, DC - U.S. President George W. Bush is considering a tour of the Middle East.
If the president decides to visit, senior sources in Washington said it would be after mid-term elections in November.

The announcements come in the wake of concerns expressed by moderate Arab nations over the growing internal unrest in their countries, fueled in part by the rising popularity of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Bush has said he wants to push the Israeli-Palestinian peace process forward and that he is “serious” about supporting a diplomatic initiative to that end.
