WASHINGTON - President Bush's spokesman yesterday came close to ruling out Yasser Arafat as a partner for peace - and strongly defended Israel's right to self-defense after the latest homicide bombing.

Asked about Israel's new policy of reoccupying Palestinian areas, White House spokesman Ari Fleischer replied: "The president understands Israel has a right to defend herself."

It would bode well with President Bush if he were to step up to the plate and honor his statement that if "you're not with us, you're with the terrorists!" Dealing with terrorists like Arafat leads to nothing, it never has and never will.

As a puppet for the mid-east, Arafat's chain has run. Get rid of the b*****d and if Iraq, Saudi Arabia and the rest of the oil countries don't like it, to heck with it! We have enough oil from other sources including our own. Diplomacy with the little man does not work. No more talk President Bush, American businesses will just have to right off their losses...get on with the War on Terrorism.

Call your Representatives and Senators now and tell them enough is enough and as Americans we meant what we said about dealing with Terrorists and that means Arafat!

Colin, you've got your diplomatic feelings in the wrong place! Stand by your President and not your incontinent State Department; a moldy, incestuous group of do-gooders who can't think their way out of a paper bag...except to gain their seniority.
