If Arafat reneges, I hope to God that Bush gives Israel the green light. I will admit that I am losing patience with Bush's stance with Arafat.

Israel is right outside Arafat's door .. if they wanted they could take him out in a heart beat ..

My guess is there are bigger plans for Arafat

And Saudi Arabia, fatherland to most of the 9/11 bombers. That weekend at the ranch with the dirtbag Clown Prince was one of the humiliating things I've ever seen. I don't know how he put up with it without vomiting.

A green light will never be given. I personally believe they should have made Arafat's Ramallah HQ's into a prison. Put up barb wire and guard towers and be done with Arafat.

Bush has given the green light to Israel...Notice that they haven't left and continue their "mop-up" exercise....

At the same time, Bush has handed Arafat a shovel who promptly began digging his own grave....

Additionally, this gave our psuedo-ally's the Saudi's a diplomatic out plus appeased the Euroweenies that all that could be done has.....

End result, Arafat will be gone...The Arab nations will be left with little to gripe about and hopefully meaningful peace negotiations can then ensue....

This will leave the US positioned to attack Iraq...

Don't ever think this is a ad-hoc policy in the W.H. I can assure you that they have a decision matrix posted on the wall of the situation room with numerous advisors plotting possible outcomes and scenarios. Dubya is surrounded by some of the best in the world..... Plus note: If we cannot predict an outcome, we have the resources and assests in place to manually manipulate ....
