Foxnews: The Intifada May Be Over
Foxnews

Posted on 02/08/2005 3:11:51 AM PST by Dales

Foxnews is reporting that Sharon and Abbas are meeting, and that the announcement of a formal cease-fire is imminent. They said this is 'not the start of peace but the start of the process that will lead to peace'.

Apparently Abbas and Sharon will continue peace talks throughout the day after the announcement.

>>Breaking News? It's been in all the papers and all over the tube.<<

Is there another FReeper thread on this matter?
I'd like to know what they have to say?

I didn't catch it but I thought he was giving credit to Clinton for laying the groundwork. Maybe not. Ross worked for both GHWB and Clinton.

Yeah, you have a point. If I thought that money would assist in the resolution, it would be an entirely different matter.


I have been of the opinion that if the US would simply stop interfering with Israel's problems, they would take care of business themselves quite nicely.

You're not a Republican, are you?

Actually I've been a registered republican for my entire adult life. I cast my first vote for Ronald Reagan.

Why?

In my head, when I read this, I hear the sound of a 1976 Ford F-150 starter grinding away on a dying battery with some missing teeth on the flywheel.....

I think it is the region and not the religion. The Muslims I have known and worked with were honorable.
Those of us who have known Muslims as individuals tend to understand that. The "Islam is evil" crowd largely speaks from ignorance

A Conversation With Colin Powell

P. J. O'ROURKE: I think it's been hard for people to understand how Islam can be a good religion, and yet the Islamists are evil. Those of us who have had experience with Islam understand this, just as we understand the difference between snake handlers and people going to church on Sunday morning. But I think a lot of people are having trouble getting their head around who's the enemy.

SECRETARY POWELL: There probably is a parallel to the Cold War. You need somebody like a George Bush to come along and say this is our challenge for this generation and then start to put together coalitions, as was done in the post-World War II period, with the creation of NATO, ANZUS, CETO and CENTO.

Here's when we'll know whether the Palestinians are serious: When the P's react to such an attack with the same urgency and swiftness that Israel has employed in the past, locating and arresting the terrorists (and not releasing them w/in days). In simple terms, the P's must be motivated to protect Israeli security. Only then will the way be clear a real peace plan.
Indeed, that will be a serious test the PA must pass before any real peace deal can go forward. It's a certainty that Shin Bet is keeping a close eye on Kach and Kahane Chai, who will be just as enraged by a real deal as the Pali nutjobs.

You're not a Republican, are you?

Of COURSE he's a Republican, rdb.

He thinks the evil Ohio Republican party disenfranchised the poor Dems by making them stand in line to vote, and that the evil Ken Blackwell didn't count all the votes.

Well.......I added the 'evil' part, but he really has said the rest.

I know LOTS of Republicans (especially conservative ones) who feel that way, don't you?? ;o)

Abbas put some firm controls on Palestinian television
yesterday. Suicide bombers are no longer to be reported as "martyrdom operations," they're now "explosions." No more footage of blood in the streets, things like that. Call me cautiously optimistic, but it looks like Abbas is serious about the peace process.

CaptainK; Right_in_Virginia " Somehow, someway. the MSM will credit Clintoon as the genesis of the peace process. Hell, they might even throw in Carter for good measure. "

Oh they started that weeks ago, claiming that the road map was identical to the peace deal that Clinton created, nearly brokered and Bush abandoned.

This should take some of the luster off the brilliant foreign policy successes of the Clinton Administration!

I agree so I've taken the opportunity to create this extensive list of the foreign policy successes of the Clinton Administration:





Okay, that pretty much wraps it up...

Call me cautiously optimistic, but it looks like Abbas is serious about the peace process.

Cautious optimism describes my sense of it as well.

Even Charles Krauthammer, who is pretty much never optimistic about the Middle East thinks this might work.

The difference is the absence of Arafat...........and a President in the White House who says what he means, and means what he says about terrorism.
