| Yasser just hates that Bush speech |
| 2002-06-25 |
| Yasser Arafat has said it is up to the Palestinian people alone to choose their leaders. Mr Arafat was reacting to a policy speech on the Middle East by President George Bush in which he made it clear that he wanted to see the veteran Palestinian leader replaced, suggesting he was "compromised by terror". Asked for his response to Mr Bush's speech, Mr Arafat said: "This is what my people will decide. They are the only ones who can determine this." That comes as no surprise. I'll also be surprised if he can remember having said it by now... |
