I have just about had it, with being told I should be patient with yet another betrayal of principle on the part of the Bush-Powell-Arafat administration, because somehow they are pursuing some supposed pragmatic, unprincipled, dirty little crooked deal somewhere or other.

I don't know whether they are, or not, and I don't care!

What is needed is somebody who will stick to principle, REGARDLESS of the supposed opportunism of the moment.

n I became such a supporter of Israel. They kicked ass and didn't whine for permission. This is not the same Israel this is a nation that can't even kill a terrorist when they have him surrounded.

Didn't we tell Sharon NOT to harm Arafat? Indeed we did.

I hope they get rid of Arafat once and for all too, but with us telling them to basically back off, how can they?

The same way we did, assert their God given right to self defense and then worry about any mythical retaliation from the USA later. No one in their right minds think we would abandon Israel for killing the entire nest of pond scum the are presently surrounding.

If Powell Goes to meet Arafag hes signing his DEATH WARRANT PEOPLE!!!!!! There is a VERY real possibility that Arafag will grab Powell and hold him as a HOSTAGE!!!!!he has now LITERRALLY nothing to lose by staging such an incident!!!!!. The dream of a Palestinian state is now KAPUT and HE KNOWS IT!!!!!If he EVER admits such a dream is now DEAD he'll die within HOURS at BEST if not MINUTES!!!! indeed you may very well see the first ever LIVE TELEVISED assassination the SECOND he issues those IMMORTAL WORDS....

THE DREAM OF PALESTINIAN STATEHOOD IS DEAD!!!!!!

You choose to selectively deny the rest of the speech.

You are correct there is no retaliation, mythical or otherwise...we simply say what to do on a critical matter and they do it.

As Bush insisted we not exile or harm Arafat.

Is their any criticism, any line that could be crossed, that would have you criticize Bush. Never mind, we know that answer.

Oh I really doubt that is even a remote possibility.

Naahh, see my posts at #15, 16, 20, 23, 26, 31, etc.

This has been the strategy since October. We're going after Saddam and the WMDs, and we don't want Palestinian distractions.

SCREW THE SAUDI'S!!!! Crown Prince Abdullah is a TRAITOR and I have a STRONG suspicion our government KNOWS it and is just WAITING for the right and most opportune time to DESTROY that FREAK When they wheel out the info on how he BETRAYED KING FAHD and let OBL poisin him so as to let HIM become leader of SAUDI ARABIA our "friend" Abdullah in SA won't last 6 HOURS!!!!

In that case, this may wind up being the same old negotiations leading to nowhere. If the "Palestinian state" is dead, it's not going down quietly, or quickly.

We did no such thing. Sharon ask for "written permission" like a damn kid wanting a hall pass. We did NOT tell Sharon to do anything. Once again Sharon is the one to blame.

REALLY??? THIS is the FAG that walked out on Baruk after he gave him 95-97% of what he WANTED!!!!! I see this as a VERY real possibility now and I'm ALMOST having to wonder if GW doesn't WANT Arafag to grab him!!!!!! That way he could then have an OFFICIAL excuse to allow the Israelis to OFF this FREAK!!!!!

You're correct, but that's not the highest priority right now.

All I'm saying is that the passage above is the first sign I've seen from Bush that Oslo could come off the table...

And that's good.

You're forgetting the UN created Israel.

Actually, it was YHWH who created Israel and He also recreated them, bringing them back to their land in unbelief just as He said He would.
