GW is trying to play both sides of the fence and it is quite telling. His numbers are down and he seems confused.
He needs to quit cowering to the EU radicals and the Saudis. Give Sheron 100% backing to eraducate the evil doers in the west bank, his numbers will go out of sight.
He has given all the peace nicks an opertunity to be heard again. Come on GW do the right thing on this!

Arafat is Sharon's problem. Why is Arafat still breathing?
To: scratchgolfer
Well, I hate to say it, mostly because it's so disheartening: GW is dead wrong on his one. It will hurt the US geopolitically and ultimately expose the "great lie".......that this administration is serious about the war on terror.
Anyone who believes that the "moderate" Arab states are somehow useful in this just crusade is a simple fool.
I pray GW learns the wisdom of doing what's right.

Exactly, why is Arafat still breathing, hes not the big bad woof. Sharon needs to take him out and he may need GW's OK. If they are holding secret meetings (GW & Sharon) then all is not lost, maybe they have already secretly made him room tempture.

Why? Is Sharon not the PM of a sovereign country? Yes, but we pay the rent.

It is absolutely incredible how he is squandering his moral authority for the sake of Islamic terrorists and the regimes that support them (Saudi Arabia, his father's friends).

Arafat is Sharon's problem. Why is Arafat still breathing?You are being sarcastic, right? Have you not watched Colin Powell and GWB repeatedly pull this wretch's chestnuts out of the fire in recent weeks/months?
Or, perhaps you haven't noticed that -- for some strange reason -- the hue with which Mr. Powell's specs are tinted evidently disallows him from viewing Mr. Arafat as a terrorist, or labeling him, as such.
If the Bush Administration had had any moxie and guts, they would have declared on 12Sep01 ALL the West Bank and Chebaa Farms troublemakers TERRORISTS (you know: Al-Aqsa Brigade, Hamas, PLO, Fatah, Islamic Jihad, etc, etc.)
FINALLY, the Bush Admin has belatedly labeled several of these group "terrorists," but, somehow, the ugly toad Arafat is still worthy of being negotiated with . . . .?
Go figure.

It is Sharon that has Arafat under guard. It is Sharon that makes the decision on Arafat’s future. If Sharon lets Arafat live to be "negotiated" with in the future then the blood of future Israelis is on his hands. It appears that Sharon is "soft on terrorism".
To: bushrules
If the Saudi royal family should fall as a result of a popular anti-US revolt with other pro-US Arab regimes in a domino effect, America will face a global economic meltdown in addition to massive terrorism.
I see you have fully bought into State Department histrionics.
Sorry, but the world doesn't revolve around the corrupt, venal, and America-hating House of Saud. It is time for them to go.
What Delay is for is WHAT IS RIGHT, not what is convenient. I know that is hard for people lacking moral sensibilities to understand.

Congress has a great deal to do with foreign aid allocations.

It appears that Sharon is "soft on terrorism".You might have added: It is George Bush who pays for much of Sharon's military budget.
For you to so dismissively pooh-pooh the idea that the weight of America's pressure on Sharon to SPARE Arafat is of little consequence suggests to me that you are on this issue willing to compartmentalize your truth to fit your preferences.
I submit to you, that were it not for US (and, yes, European) pressure on Israel, Arafat would ALREADY be pushing up daisies as you and I debate.
