Israel says road map goes with Abbas resignation

Why is Arafat alive?

[cake_crumb]

If only Yasser would die quietly in his sleep....whenever or however the stinking hellspawned Egyptian lapdog of Saddam goes, you can BET every idiot, brainwashed Muslim in the Arab world will be told to blame the US and Israel and go blow themselves up for the cause. And they will, too.

This crap got really tired 20 years ago...looks like Yasser's setting the world up for another 50 years of terrorism and VZC propaganda.

One senior diplomatic official does not speak for Israel.

iWe have said that if the PA does not take action against Hamas we will do so, and we mean what we say...

George Bush needs to get back in the business of meaning what he says in the War on Terror. Slouching toward victory is a recipe for defeat.

While one official said Abbas resigned in order to bring massive international pressure on Arafat to take him back and give him real power, other officials said it was a tactical move to get Israel and the US to reduce pressure on Abbas to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure.

If the part in bold is the reason Abbas did this, I suspect he, like so many others, has misunderestimated President Bush. The President has a well-established track record in foreign policy of giving our enemies one -- and only one -- chance to get their house in order, before he drops the hammer. In this case, the hammer would presumably be to unleash the IDF.

Yawn, SSDD. Kill Terrorfat relocate the "refuges" to Jordon and kill as many terrorists as possible in the process, this is the ONLY true "Road Map" everything else is farting in the wind.

Zech 9:5. The king of Gaza will perish. (Arafat)

No ambiguity. Abbas was not meant to ever really have power, Arafart saw to that.

I feel sorry for Israel. The Jewish people will never be overrun nor forgotten.

[joyful1]

"Don't deliver the sardines to Arafat. However, may he sleep with the fishes!!"

Amen!

[bluelowrider57]

no no no, but then the U.N. barks at Israel basicaly saying "How dare you defend yourself and take the land that was given to Abraham!"

[wizardoz]

That road map was never good for anything anyway. Maybe wadding up at the bottom of the grill to get the charcoal going. Or lining the cat box. Or cutting into strips and soaking in water and flour for paper-mache. Or using to soak up the blood of Israeli children as it runs down the street from yet another exploded bus.

[wizardoz]

Why don't the Palestinians get smart and renounce all aspirations for statehood and independence. Instead, they should announce their desire to live in peace under an enlightened democratic Israeli government in a unified state where all residents enjoy full and equal citizenship rights.

Because they consider Jews to be dhimmis. That's their equivalent of the N-word, from what I can tell. Imagine telling the KKK they can live under a black president.

one wonders why the conservative community is so slow to pick up on the indict arafat the rat movement. besides being responsible for deaths of thousands of jews, he created skyjacking, ordered terrorist actions (or approved funding for) which resulted in murdered americans and is the spiritual leader of islamic terrorism today. arafat should be sitting in a us prison awaiting a death sentence. of course it would be easier to just plaster him where he sits but it might be more useful (and certainly more fulfilling) to torture out of him everything he knows.

Will the left ever admit that Yasser is the PROBLEM?
Will the President ever admit that Yasser is the PROBLEM?
Will Collen Powell ever admit that Yasser is the PROBLEM?
Will the President ever admit that Yasser is a terrorist?
Will the President ever admit that Yasser is a terroristand do it in English, Hebrew and ARABIC?
Will the President ever admit that the PLO and PLA are both terrorist organizations?

Will the President ever admit that Islam, by and large is NOT PEACE?

No, no, no, no, no, no, and no!
I am beginning to wonder how "brilliant" a man is, if he cannot deal with THIS simple statement of truth.

I must admit... I am no strategeriologistical expert.
and that this administration may not be either.

It HAS to be that if we don't back the arafatties of the world to some extent... the saudis will cut off our allowance... and America will die an economic death... and plunge the planet into a war over energy...

"He who controls the spice, controls the universe" (Dune)
I believe that if Israel kills arafat, then the arabs will cut of our oil... and perhaps, russia will nuke us, as arafat is one of their old allies and puppets...

[sheik yerbouty]

I agree. At this point, Arafat, "The Godfather of Terrorism" should be "put to the question."

[Wild Thing]

I agree with you Yoni! EXACTLY !

{Will the President ever admit that Yasser is a terroristand do it in English, Hebrew and ARABIC}

he has enough trouble with english....

gee, lets not go over bored, with being over board... the saudis cant drink oil, they have to sell it.. greasy arab jokes aside... the russians have a hard enough time flying planes and sailing ships to be launching icbms at the us only to get eliminated in the counter attack. protecting arafat by claiming the world revolves around him is exactly opposite of reality..
