Shouldn't that be "US shouldn't pressure Israel to compromise its security"?

In his visit to Israel, US vice president Dick Cheney has said:

(IsraelNN.com) The U.S. will “never pressure Israel to take risks regarding its security,” American Vice President Dick Cheney said in a joint news conference with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert Saturday evening.

But isn't that what they did almost 3 years ago, when Condoleeza Rice nastily ordered the government to leave Gaza? I'm sorry to say, but Cheney's making his statements much too late.
