Looks like a good excuse to bomb the heck out of Arafat.

Putting the blame squarely on the Palestinian leadership, Bush said, "The failure to create effective Palestinian security forces dedicated to fighting terror continues to cost lives. There must be an empowered prime minister who contols all Palestinian forces - reforms that continue to be blocked by Yasser Arafat."

He can't have it both ways. It is his administration's policy that enables the Palestinian leadership to block the reforms because they opposed the removal of Yasser Arafat. If Arafat is responsible, the U.S. needs to kill him.

Laura Bush Slams Attack in AP Interview

By MICHELLE FAUL
Associated Press Writer

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP)--First Lady Laura Bush condemned an attack on an American convoy Wednesday in the Gaza Strip, saying the U.S. diplomats were working to ``create a civilized world.''

A remote-controlled bomb exploded under the diplomatic convoy, ripping apart an armored van and killing three Americans in an unprecedented deadly attack on an official U.S. target.

``My heart goes out to the families of those who were killed in this targeted attack of the convoy,'' Mrs. Bush told The Associated Press on Wednesday, urging people to ``come to terms with what we need for a civilized society--and that is that we do not have terrorism.''

Mrs. Bush joined other first ladies of the Americas for a conference on child poverty in the Dominican Republic. She said terrorism threatened progress being made to create a stable world for children.

More than 20 first ladies were meeting in the Spanish-speaking nation to discuss encroaching poverty and its debilitating effect on children. When asked why the United States was spending more than $80 billion in Iraq instead of channeling the money to needy children, Mrs. Bush said a secure Iraq was in the world's best interest.

Rebuilding Iraq will ``help all the world,'' Mrs. Bush said in the brief AP interview. ``It is in the United States' best interest to have a free and prosperous Iraq.''

blah, blah, blah.

Someday perhaps someone will stop whining about Arafat and actually waste the guy.

As Jonah Goldberg on NRO points out, the US Govt seems to have selective outrage when Americans are killed in the Middle East. Jewish-Americans visiting or studying in Israel who are killed by homicide bombers are never identified as Americans, nor does the US Govt cry out in alarm. I guess if you're a Jewish-American in Jerusalem just studying or having a snack at the university cafeteria, well, you assume the risk.

"Arafat...condemned the attack as an "awful crime."

No, Yassir, it's an act of war. In earlier times, the U.S. would have sent in the Marines.

The explosion, detonated by a remote-controlled explosive device, occurred as the second vehicle of a three-car convoy had just cleared a checkpoint and entered Gaza, said State Department spokeswoman Brooke Summers.

Deliberate - No question here. Causus Belli!

On the Palistinian street, the word will spread that it was actually an Israeli plot to undermine the Palistinians (just like 9/11). These people are treacherous.

I read that as a go ahead for Isreal to pave a new parking lot in Ramallah.

"Explosion Near U.S. Convoy in Gaza Kills Three Americans"

"Bush Blames Palestinian Authorities" (for Gaza bombing of American diplomatic convoy)

"Yadda Yadda Yadda, blame, blame, blame, outrage, outrage, outrage"... Same old song and dance!

Ah yes, now that Americans have been blown to bits by the Islamonazis in Israel, Bush must demand America also follow the Powell Doctrine and:

"Exercise Restraint"

Oh I am sorry, that advice ONLY applies to Israel, when their people get blown into bite sized pieces... never mind.

Boy am I sick of this ring around the rosy!

When are the Bush administration and America going to wake up and realize that we are at war with people who want us all converted, dead or enslaved to Islamic masters, subjugated under Islamic law!

The only way this is ever going to get dealt with and peace will take root in the Middle East and the rest of the world is when genuine all-out war against these terrorists is waged and they are killed. Until then this is just like the phony "War on Drugs":

Money down the drain, lots of people hurt and dead with NOTHING to show for all of our efforts.

WWIII has begun, thousands of Americans, Isralies and citizens from nations throughout the world have been and are being killed on a daily basis and America had better get with the program and fight to win, or we are going to lose.

After this, I see no reason why we should try to protect Arafat from exile if Israel has that planned for him.

Someone's trying to make Arafat a martryr by getting him killed by U.S. retribution before he dies of whatever crud ails him.
