read the 3rd paragraph in the article.
please see my post #6 - this gets stranger, because if this account was true, Zinni was speaking openly to the media, and the quote was not something overheard by a waiter at dinner, and the chance that the Western media missed it is significanly reduced - so hopefully someone can check the Hebrew-langauge papers and see exactly what they said about the context in which Zinni allegedly spoke this.
Plus, the fact that the United States said today that it will still negotiated with Arafat undercuts the claim that Zinni will be going around Arafat.
