But first, let me be very clear. I condemn that attacks carried out by terrorist groups against Israeli civilians. These groups do not represent the Palestinian people... I am determined to put an end to their activities."

You mean he's going to get rid of Arafat's own al Fatah, who took credit for a few of the recent bombings/shootings? How about the al Aqsa Martyr's Brigade, another of Arafat's terrorist groups? And no mention of the Karine A. How is he going to put an end to his own activities? How about arresting himself?

[set the record straight]

Being determined to stop the terrorists and trying to stop the terrorists are two different things, just as playing in the NFL and trying to play in the NFL are. This is political advertisong for Ararfat and the NY Times. The Times is derelict for aloowing a dictator to use their medium to espouse his blather.
