Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas acknowledged Monday in a meeting with US Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) that PA Chairman Yasser Arafat is undermining his authority.

McCain, who led a bipartisan delegation of senators and congressmen to Israel and the Palestinian areas, recounted his exchange with Abbas in an interview with The Jerusalem Post editorial board.

"The thing I said is, 'Arafat is undermining you every way he can.' He said, 'that's right,'" McCain recalled.

McCain then asked Abbas about press reports, which say he has no authority over the Palestinian security forces. Again Abbas said, "that's right," and added that he has made bringing them under his control a top priority.

"He didn't say it, but I had the distinct impression that he doesn't feel that he's strong enough to take (the terrorist groups) on."

McCain, who met Abbas in Ramallah, said he was surprised that the West Bank city "didn't look that bad."

Is there some significance to this date? Anyone?

Half-way point of the pre-season!?

GODofWar BUMP!

The closest in 60,000 Years on August 27, getting closer by something like 39,000 miles every day!

In 2001, it was the closest it's been in about a 100 years or so, IIRC.

A bus has exploded.Prayers go up for those injured and the mourning.

[Slip18]

Reporting live John Hune (sp) in Jersualem about 200 yards from ground zero. Police trying to seal off the area. Can't give figures on casualties. Seen half a dozen of badly injured people. I'm standing over what I can only describe as a six foot wide stream of blood from the bus. (Bus?) Islamic Jihad was going to avenge the death of their leader.

Sheesh!

[Brad’s Gramma]

I'm sorry this is happening over & over. Stay safe, and thank you for the updates.
