#1 "The indictment further alleges."

That's great. Going to have to hit C-SPAN to watch this one...

#2 Will teh reporter be reporting from Gaza? Notice how the reporter wasn't even fazed by Boucher's mention of the deaths of Americans at Paleo hands? Help them rebuild? I'd prefer we help them level it so they can start over cleanly....carpet bombing seems appropriate. F 'EM!

#3 Bush continues to amaze me by the way he knows the difference between left/right, black/white, and good/evil. The question of the Paleos returning to land in Israeli proper is THE major rock in the shoe of the Paleos. It is also where they gain their strength, angst, and weakness. The Paleos that continue to live in the UN sponsored refugee camps for some fifty years already know that they are NOT returning to Israel and probably wouldnât if they could. An entire generation has come and gone, the Paleo areas in Lebanon have come and gone, and countless âpeaceâ proposals have come and gone. The moment this issue is off the table, Arafart loses all claims to victim hood for âhisâ people. In one bold policy shift Bush has removed a LARGE boulder in the roadmap of peace. There are howls and cries from many at this time but six months from now they will be dismantling those camps. When the people leave the camps they will wonder what Fatah has done with the BILLIONS of aid dollars.

#4 Cyber Sarge, who would dismantle the camps? The UN? The Pals will want the camps to stay even if its just to breed terrorists. The UN doesn't move that quickly and probably wants the camps to stay as well because the majority of beurocrats in the UN favor the Pals. Am I missing something?

#5 My timeline might be off but I am assuming that that the majority of those Palestinians living in those camps will want to leave we they realize (50 year late) that they are never going to return to lands inside Israel. What other choice will they have at this point? Yes there will be those hardcore Paleos that will stay and seethe about what: âMight have beenâ but most will see the writing on the wall.

#6 The question is where will they go within Palestine. The camps provide a roof over their heads and food. Leaving means they need to find work and homes.

I certainly think the neighboring states that have refugee camps should try to send the Pals into Palestine I just imagine a significant number will be unwilling to go. Perhaps they could move into abandoned settlements but that seems too neat to be likely.
