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
It does not surprise me at all that this RINO signed the memo. what does surprise me is that her cohort, RINO Olympia Snowe, also from Maine, didn't sign it also.
These are two of the RINO senators that voted 'not guilty' on both articles of Impeachment in the Senate's Trial of Shame on Feb. 12, 1999.
His $$$$ is a means to her (evil) ends.
The polls. Real Americans support Isreal, and they vote.
Wow. I was thinking on those lines, but couldn't put my feelings in words.

Since we share the same position, will you be leaving fr also?
I've considered that! The letter hasn't been widely discussed in the media, talk or otherwise, so Hillary RODHAM Clinton must have had a MOTIVE for her letter!
The LETTER was on her own "Look At Me" website. The gloating overthere is sickening. She fails to list any bill or legislation numbers, so you can research it yourself, instead she tells her fans about ALL the great acts she's done for New York! It's probably all BS!
Now, this letter to Bush, is on public display, probably to make Hillary look like a possible contender for the White House in 2004. Look at Hillary Run! See HIllary tell Bush what to do! It's a power play!
At the same time, the letter is an act of intimidation aimed at Bush himself, which exposes her wicked nature.
Hillary is saying, I'm on your but, I can take you down, and the Media will side with me when YOU mess up. Hillary is being very cocky and sure of herself in this letter.
And no, one letter doesn't make up for THE KISS with Arafat's wife, it's just the beginning of what Hillary has in mind.
SCARY!!!!!
Monica is as taken with the Clinton's as the Media is!
Secondly, when Arafat and Sharon agree to some "peace accord" through the strained efforts of some U.S. policy measure in compliance with the United Nations Resolution #1402 on consonant with Resolutions 242 and 338, this will be the convenant with the antichrist. This agreement has to be something that eventhe Israel's will accept. When this happens, we will know our days are truly numbered. Sharon has a right to protect his borders even if that means putting up a hotwire fence and placing hidden bombs around it.
What I suspect is the news media is twisting the Powell thing. They are taking surface information and creating stories.
Tin Foil Alert
Could it be that the left is twisting everything about the middle east to slam Bush. Clinton comes out for what we are realling doing while when Bush actually says what is happening sounds like he stole it from Clinton????
Thank you for the link to Hillary remarks at the "We Support Israel forever and ever" rally...
I was looking for THAT speech, when I found Hillary Clinton's letter to Bush on her website!
It's the difference between
Seducation and RAPE!
