THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Egypt is ready to deploy up to three full battalions to its border with Israel and a potential Palestinian state in Gaza as part of a push for a comprehensive peace deal, Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said yesterday. Mr. Gheit, who meets today with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and other senior U.S. officials, cautioned that new Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas must be given the time and resources to get the security situation under control. Ordinary Palestinians, he told editors and reporters at The Washington Times, must quickly see that Israel's withdrawal from Gaza and some settlements in the West Bank is part of a larger move toward political independence and improved living standards.

He was detained on fraud charges just days after he met with a U.S. pro-democracy delegation headed by former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright.

Oops. I think they nabbed the wrong fraud!

The strategy (founding "Palestine") certainly looks like a long shot and a long haul of a sophisticated infowar. Very strangely, leaders in many different governments (mostly non-Arab governments) speak as though they have something important at stake in Israel, but they aren't revealing logical reasons for their levels of concern. Most of those leaders are prompted by large numbers of chatterers in their countries and/or by designs they have on other things in the region.

All among us who write or speak should take interest. Think, study, think some more, and get ready.
