#1 The United States has failed to persuade Palestinian non-governmental organizations to sign a commitment that they will not aid groups deemed by the State Department as terrorist.
Stat! Ethel! Stat!

#2 "...plan to lobby Washington"

Anyone want to bet that the same people who opposed funding Iraq rebuilding will now demand we give the Palestinians money condition-free?Anyone?

#4 "It is not clear on what basis and upon which criteria the definition of âterrorist actsâ has been determined, especially in light of Israeli attempts to portray the struggle of the Palestinian people for freedom and independence as âviolent and terrorist acts,â" a statement by NGOs said.

Who the hell are these people? Democrats? Deliberately targetting and murdering innocent people is a terrorist act. P-E-R-I-O-D. No IF, ANDS or BUTS dammit.

This includes targetting and blowing up BUSSES and night clubs and other CIVILIAN TARGETs.

#6 The result could jeopardize U.S. plans to transfer tens of millions of dollars to the Palestinian NGOs in the West Bank and Gaza Strip during fiscal 2004.

Excellent, excellent, excellent! Now if GWB would just have the balls to just not transfer the money anyway. It's practically a certainty that there's going to be further terror attacks against Israeli civilians regardless of what happens, so....
