BIBI BREAKS IT DOWN FOR MSNBC MORON: TRANSCRIPT
MSNBC ^ | Dec. 2, 2001 | MSNBC

Posted on 12/02/2001 10:16:14 AM PST by Cinnamon Girl

(this is the transcript, not exact because I typed it myself)(paranthetical expressions from me.)

Chick: Tell me, what do you think this means in terms of the prospects of success in any kind of talks coming up Monday that are scheduled between President Bush and the current Prime Minister of Israel, Ariel Sharon. Any success there?

Bibi: The problem is not between Israel and America. We’re both on the same side of the fence, we’re democracies fighting terrorism. You’re fighting the Taliban state in Afghanistan that harbors a terrorist organization, we’re fighting the Arafat regime which harbors a dozen terrorist organizations that have now carried out additional suicide attacks on Israeli civilians in the heart of Jerusalem. The problem is not between Israel and the U.S., the problem is w/ the Arafats and Talibans of the world which harbor terrorists. I think we have to adopt a uniform policy and basically say to Arafat what you are saying to the Taliban. Surrender terrorism or surrender power. In the case of the Taliban, they have not surrendered terrorism so you’re throwing them out and you’ll soon catch bin Laden in my judgment. In the case of Arafat, we should say exactly the same thing to him. Either your surrender terrorism or surrender power. Stop this terrorism or you’re out. It needs to come with uniform clarity from North America and Israel. We’ve allowed him to act with impunity…

Chick: And yet, Mr. Prime Minister, we’ve been told that Arafat has said he wants all this to cease and he’s asked all those that are doing these heinous acts to stop in order to give some chance for peace in the region. Do you believe that he’s either paying lip service or do you believe he’s lost control of power?

Bibi: He’s ASKED them? You ASK them to stop? You don’t ASK them to stop. If you had terrorist marauding Canada from U.S. positions would you ask them to stop or would you take action against them. They have offices. They have addresses. They’re roaming around free. And he’s doing nothing. He should use the 50,000 weapons we’ve given him to act against these terrorists as he’s promised to do…

Chick: You gave him weapons to go after these terrorists? (HI, I’M A REPORTER. WHERE’S THE MIDDLE EAST?)

Bibi: (incredulous pause) Well not ME. But the Israeli government that signed the Oslo accords gave him 50,000 Kalichnikov assault rifles.

Chick: What do you believe is being done with those guns right now? Do you believe they are being turned on your own people? (DUH)

Bibi: Well we know that because just the other day Arafat’s own fatach group, he’s the commander of that group, and now officially they’ve carried out a terrorist attack just two days ago… So Arafat is in the amazing situation of being both a harborer of terrorists, a Taliban, and a perpetrator of terrorism, a bin Laden. He’s the only leader in the world that qualifies under both categories. (PLEASE PICK UP YOUR YEAR'S SUPPLY OF RICE-O-RONI ON YOUR WAY OUT.) What should be done with Arafat is what you are doing with the Taliban and bin Laden. You don’t talk to these people, you don’t ask them to be nice. You tell them, unless you stop terrorism, terrorism that your own forces carry and terrorism that you harbor, unless you stop that we’ll take punitive action against you in the most forceful way. At the end of the day, surrender terrorism or surrender power. That’s the only way to deal with terrorism. There is no other way.

Yeah, more Bibi! Powell really sucks--he's a whiner.

Way to go, Bibi. Sharon needs pressure to go in and do what he is apparently thinking about--taking out the Palestinian Authority and getting Arafat out of power.

MSNBC has so many airheads, male and female.

Course Bibi is the greatest.

You want to talk about lip service? Bibi is the master of the lip service. How many times has Bibi given this speech already?

Don't get me wrong, I generally like Bibi, but there just has to be something going on behind the scenes here. I just don't understand why Israel won't smash Hamas and IJ completely. Arafat is not going to do it, and even Bibi seems to be giving him another chance to do the right thing. Israeli ultimatums are meaningless. Israel has to make some hard choices.

To those who say Israel doesn't do anything for all that money we give them, take a look at this. Israel stands by, lets it citizens get bombed, shot, stabbed and stoned, and yet every time we ask them to withdraw, to be restrained, to be calm... they get smacked by the Palestinian terror groups. Is it worth trading 500 Israeli lives, thousands injured and millions grieving for $3 Billion a year? This is the decision Israel will have to make. It looks like they have made up their minds, and the answer is yes.

I understand your frustration. There are so many 'if only' senarios along the way which has brought Israel to this point. Ultimately, Israel holds itself back, perhaps for fear of setting off a chain of events in the middle east that would be so horrible that most Israelis hold out hope that it could still be avoided.

Bibi is the Israeli short nickname for Benjamin. In this case, it is former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

We need to everything in our power to petition our govt. to take the pressure off Israel to not defend itself. I know the anti-semitic liberals and libertarians won't like them. But let the liberals and libertarians go s---- themselves. It's time for Israel to go after arafat and the plo just as we've gone after osama bin knucklehead and al queda.

Yep, like the NYT ignoring Hitler's actions in the 30s. Those reporters perfectly know how unrepentant Arafat and the Pali state is, yet they will request our repent and our answers to their questions about whether we have made the correct assessment of the situation, when the questions should be about how we are going to militarily get rid of the terrorists.

Why do they do that? Because reporters are liberal and unrepentant in their own ways. They fear that they will have to repent. They are sitting on the side of the terrorists, while, like an obsene version of Pilate defending real criminals, they claim they are washing their hands from the massacres and Israel's actions.

Unbelievable. I hunger to see those people go to hell.

Preach it, Bibi. From your lips to Bush's ears.

I hope Bibi will replace Ridge as Homeland Defense Chief before he has to run to get his PM job back

I know that Bibi lived in America for a while (which would explain why his English is so awesome) but is he an American citizen? It would be cool if he had a position in the Bush administration.

Last night I heard a female ignoramous on MSNBC ask the reporter in Israel if the Israeli's aren't jaded about these attacks and just go on about their business. Without a doubt the most callous comment made on MSNBC in recent days.
