WASHINGTON (CNN) -- With violence in the Middle East escalating, two leading Senate Democrats said Sunday the Bush administration should ratchet up the level of U.S. diplomacy by getting Secretary of State Colin Powell more directly involved.

"I think there needs to be something dramatic done, and that means the president has to step up his involvement," said U.S. Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Delaware, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, on CBS' "Face the Nation."

Let "General" Arafat rot... don't kill him... just corner him into one last room, cut his power, phones, plumbing, and toss in a K-ration once a day.

I can't remember who it was, but someone once dubbed the middle-east "the graveyard of American Secretaries of State".

Ahh, leave it to the usual Democrat and RINO suspects to respond to terrorism with pleas for talk and sympathetic calls for appeasement of the suicide bombers. I hope Bush breaks his recent pattern of siding with these morons.

Leave it to the Dems to try to snatch defeat from victory. Destroying the PLO is the solution. That's why they are whining. The one thing DemocRats hate is actual solutions to problems.

I have an alternate suggestion or Sen. Lieberman, and that is that he pushes through a motion in the Senate declaring their unanimous support for Israel in the face of this unprecedented, barbaric threat to their existence.

BTW, I think this fellow garnered way too much stature from his failed vice-presidential bid, and I'm tired of hearing from him. Between him, Daschle, and Gephardt, you'd think these people are running the whole d*mn country.

The Israelis have strapped Sharon around their belts as their suicide bomb. Right now both sides are committed to the Kamikaze. If Powell will not talk about setting up a Palestine State, forgetaboutit. But Powell just should make sure the Sharon bomb is not strapped around America's belt too.

The Dems don't give a rats rear for Sharon or Powell. They view them both as screw-ups. That is why we have the effort to send Powell to Israel. The fact that Powell is feckless and that Sharon has stated that Israel is now at war means absolutely nothing to the Senate blowhards.

Send Nadler. There's plenty of him to spread all over the middle east.

I always thought that Dodd was a dim bulb but compared to Joe Biden he is point of light. One thing is for sure, when it comes to foreign policy and Joe Biden speaks, people shouldn't listen.
