Paleos couldn't possibly hold elections...
Palestinian parliament speaker Ahmed Qorei said Tuesday it will be practically impossible for the Palestinian people to go ahead with the scheduled January 20 presidential and legislative elections. "We can't do it in the shadow of Israeli tanks, so I think it will be difficult to organize the polls," he told reporters following talks with French Foreign Minister, Dominique de Villepin. "Practically speaking, I don't see how it's possible," he said.
"We just can't do it. It would be just... just... just too traumatic for us. So I guess Yasser can keep warming the seat until he dies, and then we can try and find one of his relatives, huh?"
