Defends Palestinian Suicide Attacks
Is that the stench of hypocrisy, or just a whiff of Ol' Crusty?

Dear Mr. President:
We write out of deep concern over your response to the recent events in the Middle East. While we appreciate the importance of sending Secretary of State Colin Powell to the region, we are troubled by certain developments that have occurred during his trip. By urging the resumption of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA), before the PA officially abandons their policy of suicide homicides against civilian populations, you have dramatically changed your steadfast policy towards not meeting with Chairman Arafat until he commits to a cease?fire.
As long as Arafat continues to support and fund terrorists, it is difficult to conceive that any progress can be made from meeting with him. Most worrisome, a meeting between Secretary Powell and Chairman Arafat in light of today's attack in Jerusalem validates the contention that Arafat is gaining ground through his strategy of terror.
If Secretary Powell meets with Chairman Arafat, we hope that the Secretary will make it clear that this is his final opportunity. In the past, Mr. Arafat has proven himself to be unreliable in following up with commitments to peace. Consequently, we believe that Secretary Powell should demand that Mr. Arafat act to eradicate the terrorist networks operating under his authority. Secretary Powell should make clear that if he does not comply, the United States will sever all ties with him.
Finally, we are dismayed by the pressure on Israel to withdraw from Palestinian towns before the Israeli military has had a chance to complete its operations. As the United States knows from its experience in Afghanistan, an operation of this kind takes time. If Israel is not allowed to complete its campaign, more Israeli lives will be vulnerable to future rounds of suicide bombings. If there is to be peace, Israel needs to isolate those elements of the Palestinian Authority that threaten its existence.
Thank you for your attention to our concerns. We look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Charles E. Schumer
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Susan Collins
Gordon Smith
Jon Corzine
No yer not. She hates Jews, and don't you forget it. Just because she pretends like she doesn't for a few minutes, that should not fool you.

I don't trust this witch as far as I can throw her ..
Correct. Don't forget, she got booed off some stage when speaking before the Jews...and there's that nasty rumor about F*ing Jew B*#$%s.
Last Friday, I listened to the Michael Savage show, and he said that if the "Ten important people in Washington are listening to my show...".. if anyone is motivated by pure ambition and lust for power... IF you come out and support Israel and go against Bush's stand ...
YOU WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!
Michael Savage...was Hillary Clinton listening to you!?
Turns out Ms Arafat isn't her type?
I never thought the day would come when I agreed with Hillary and Schumer. Good grief.

My money's on the latter. Most liberals think he is too dumb to set a trap for them, and I think he wants it that way. He is the Lieutenant Columbo of politis
They will be the first to bitch when American boys are coming home in bags from the Bekka Valley.
