The Democrats are sharpening their knives. They see another James Bird and Matthew Shepard in blaming Bush for everything which happens in the mideast. If nothing bad happens, they will take one comment, twist it around and repeat it over and over. They want to inflame the Jewish vote, get more Jewish donations and stop any idea liberal Jews might have that Bush cares about Israel. That Bush won the under 30 Jewish vote in 2000 put the fear of God in them.

To heck with the Dems! If they want to make hay out of this, Bush has it coming. He literally said that Arafat wasn't a terrorist because Arafat was willing to negotiate. Ye gods. In addition to being an absolutely outladnsih statement, what kind of a policy is that supposed to set? That we should negotiate with Osama if that expletive-deleted all of a sudden wants to talk about his grievances???The utter stupidity of this remark is right up there with Ford's remark about Poland, but the repercussions from this one could be scary.
