The Wrong Advice

One would hope that Condi's reaction to these meetings would be to do the opposite of what was suggested to her- but given her track record of late I'm sure we can expect more of the same.

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has sought the advice of former US presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton ahead of a planned Middle East peace parley scheduled to take place in Annapolis, Maryland, in November or December.

And while Fatah's armed wing continues to carry out terrorist attacks, the Bush administration continues to channel funds to them. The craziness continues.

An Israeli soldier was wounded in a drive-by shooting on Wednesday as he waited at a bus stop in the West Bank near a Jewish settlement, Israeli radio and police sources said.

The Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade, a militant group loosely allied to Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas’s secular Fatah movement, claimed responsibility for the attack.

Actually they are a tad more than loosely connected- as Fatah themselves have pointed out. And the result of continued terrorist attacks against a key US ally in the Middle East? Why, more US cash of course!

The American government is planning to transfer $410 million to the Palestinian Authority in an effort to strengthen its president, Mahmoud Abbas and prime minister, Salam Fayyad, Ynet reported Wednesday.

The Bush administration has come to Abbas’ aid in the struggle against Hamas for public support, and is seeking to prove to the Palestinian people that choosing the path of peace pays off.

Nearly half a billion dollars taken from the pay-packets of American citizens and given to Fatah. How do you feel about your wages being taken in taxes and given to Fatah and their terrorist cohorts?
