Olmert to assure Bush he will remove outposts 'expeditiously'

Israel will tell U.S. President George W. Bush during his visit to the region this week that it is committed to acting expeditiously to dismantle unauthorized West Bank settlement outposts, a spokesman for Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Monday.
Israel has pledged repeatedly to take action on the outposts, generally small encampments settlers have set up in the West Bank.
Olmert spokesman Mark Regev did not say how quickly Israel would take down the dozens of outposts.
