AM, just for interest. Thanks to thouworm. I don't think I pinged this thread, we know the nature of the current administration, and the topic isn't all that relevant to world affairs. Still it's become a bit interesting. Note post 91. A repetition of this 2006 post. Information suddenly hard to find on the web, the wayback machine and google caches apparently in the process of being purged.
The map link is still working in the first post (below-look quick), probably soon to be gone too.
From SJackson, circa 2006:
W. T. F.
The occupation. Of what, you ask? Not the map below, from the American Task Force on Palestine, the group before which Condi noted:
"Last month, in his speech to the UN General Assembly, President Bush reiterated his deep conviction that the Palestinian people deserve a better life - a life that is rooted in liberty and democracy, uncompromised by violence and terrorism, unburdened by corruption and misrule, and forever free of the daily humiliation of occupation. It is this belief that led President Bush, in June of 2002, to become the first American president to make it a matter of policy that the creation of a Palestinian state, with territorial integrity, with viability, living side by side with Israel, in peace and security, would indeed strengthen peace and security, not just in the region but the peace and security of us all. "
Arab countries in tan, non-Arab countries in white, and, surprise, a country is missing. A little one. Guess who? A footnote, territorial integrity means that Israel will have to cede land to connect Gaza and the West Bank. Irrelevant though, since Israel's destruction is the objective.
And yes, the State Dept might have made a mistake vetting the group, but no, I doubt the map is an accident.
