"What about the wall? What about the wall?" they screeched at the Democratic presidential candidate from Connecticut, Senator Joseph Lieberman.
Yes, what about the wall, Senator Lieberman -- are you going to let those nasty Israelis interfere with a suicide bomber's inherent right to travel freely from Yasser Arafat's fuhrerbunker to the homes of his victims? Do you think that puny wall will stop Hamas and Islamic Jihad and al Aqsa? Have you ever heard of shovels and wire cutters and spades and bangalore torpedoes? Tell Mr. Sharon to tear down that wall, Senator Lieberman, before Allah Himself tears it down!
Senator Lieberman was in Detroit addressing the Arab American Institute leadership conference. He could have appeared before the convention via satellite -- that's the way John Kerry, Dennis Kucinich, and John Edwards handled it; they kept at a safe distance. But not Senator Lieberman.

That is strong language -- so strong one must ask the following question: Did anyone have the temerity to explode a combustible of any sort near Greta's butt while she was traipsing about the Holy Land? Did anyone try to perforate her plus fours with nails and thumbtacks traveling at thousands of miles per second while she was still in them? Did anyone try to harm her in the name of Allah? Of course, not -- Greta works for a pro-Palestinian group, the International Solidarity Movement. They worship at the shrine of Yasser Arafat-when they're not busy toasting Marx and Engels...
