WASHINGTON, April 14 (Reuters) - The Palestine Liberation Organization got an extension on Wednesday of its right to keep offices in Washington, on the same day U.S. President George W. Bush infuriated Palestinians by saying Israel could keep some of the Arab land it captured in the 1967 Middle East war.
The White House said in a statement it wanted to allow a Palestinian presence in the U.S. capital in order to "maintain its ties and contacts" with parties in the hope of pursuing talks toward peace in the Middle East.
The Bush administration said it was renewing for another six months an ongoing waiver from provisions of a 1987 terror finance law that otherwise would have prevented the PLO from keeping a Washington presence.

Israel should be able to keep all their land from the 1947 borders. Kick those murdering palis who support all terrorists out of Israel. Send all these murdering creeps to Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia where they should be anyway.

A wise statement, like maybe in the case of Syria having an embassy in DC. But I find it hard to believe that in order to keep our enemies closer, we have to refrain from placing sanctions on them.

When is Bush going to stop doing favors for Presidente Fox? Many of the Saudi and Palestinian kerrorist that Fox has been well paid to move across the border carry "stuff" (if you know what I mean) for Fox to be delivered at points along their route. But, many of the dangerous kerrorists have stopped at some of the Indian casinos along the way and gambled some. The PLO office in DC serves as a pyroll office for these kerrorists and if they can't stop and get some new cash, they might think of using Fox's stuff to fund further covert activities against the US. The Fox cash, some say, is untraceable.

I didn't say we couldn't place sanctions...I also think we should kick the UN out of the US.
