Cinnamon Girl: you transcribed? How admirable!

Between channel flipping last night (NCAA football) I saw a very interesting and fairly substantive interview of Netanyahu on CNN. Here's a link to the transcript, besides reading it you might like posting it. Among other things, he uses a Mexico example rather than Canada.

Here's some excepts from the CNN transcript with Bibi responding to some Arab nut who apparently tried to justify Arafat and his dogs:

KELLEY: But Mr. Rahman just said, when people are hungry, jobless and their land is taken, they're hard to control?

NETANYAHU: Well, that's simply a cop out. That's a way of saying that Arafat doesn't keep his part of the deal. The deal was he got territory. In exchange, he was supposed to police these people, the terrorists, prevent them from attacking us.

In fact, he's done nothing of the kind. And he has more police per square inch than other country in the world, including, I think, North Korea.

KELLEY: So what's the problem? Is it all Arafat then? Are you saying that he is not strong enough to control them?

NETANYAHU: No, I'm saying he doesn't want to.

KELLEY: Mr. Rahman, right before you, said no one can do it alone. Israel must do its share.

NETANYAHU: Well, that's hogwash. He can do it overnight. And the reason he's not doing it is not because he can't do it, but because he won't do it.

KELLEY: But Mr. Rahman said there are Israeli atrocities as well.

NETANYAHU: There are no Israeli atrocities. There are -- Israel takes focused action the terrorists themselves. But sometimes, unfortunately, as happens in your case in Afghanistan, while you target military targets, you can accidentally hit civilians.
