"If we do not shut down the human bomb terror factories that (Yasser) Arafat is pioneering today, they will surely, as the light of day, reach the United States with greater and greater devastating force,"

Netanyahu said before members of the U.S. Senate on Wednesday in Washington.

Netanyahu, who also met senior members of Congress, warned the United States that unless the practice of suicide bombing was eradicated in Israel it would eventually spread to America and other Western countries.

Speaking at the National Press Club, he said there could only be a military solution to terrorism and that there could not even be a military solution if Arafat, whom he accused of creating a "culture of death", remained in power.

Netanyahu said Arafat could not be relied upon to keep any cease-fire agreement he signed with Israel. "Arafat is beyond deterrence. He is in fantasy-land. Because he cannot be deterred he has to be dismantled."

He accused the United States of seeking what it realized would be just a temporary cease-fire in Israel only to gain Arab support for attacking Iraq to oust President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites).

He must have met with some senators today and said this. He did not address the Senate. There is a HUGE difference. Check out the online Congressional Record. The senators, individually and in groups, meet with dozens of people a day. But I still wonder about this because I don't know ANY senator who would sit still for a speech that long if it wasn't his or her own inagural address. Please clarify when and where this event occurred. Also, Yahoo is hardly an authoritative source. AdR
