The Palestinian Authority Can Do No Wrong

So the Obama administration seems to believe. It has not, at least in my memory, been struck by anything the P.A. has done or said that is inimical to negotiations and to peace. While it commands this and then that from Israel just to get the Palestinians to sit down and talk, the talking will not be between the parties at all but a three-way process with George Mitchell shuttling between Ramallah and Jerusalem and back. If I were Bibi, I wouldn’t consent to this for a moment since it carries the old 20th century Arab habit of pretense that the Jews were not really there into the 21st century.

If you will not face your enemy, you shouldn’t expect him to give you any concessions.

If I were Bibi, I wouldn’t consent to this for a moment...

Neither would I, but I would also VAPORIZE Damascus & Tehran & DARE the rest of the Jihadists to do anything about it!

I would then ask them one question: "WHO'S NEXT???".

[DoughtyOne]

Peretz is right on target here.

"The Palestinian Authority Can Do No Wrong"

Seems I remember a few premature detonations that undermine this assertion.

[richardtavor]

Heck, if I were Bibi, I wouldn’t give mitchell a Visa.

[ChrisInAR]

Great idea...but I wonder how Zero would retaliate if Bibi did so.

[richardtavor]

He already has—he has denied Visas to anyone that works at Dimona (where the nukes are.)

[ChrisInAR]

That's right...I plum forgot about that. But I was wondering how Zero would react if Bibi refused a visa to either Mitchell or (gasp!) The Anointed One himself!
