#1 I don;'t understand why there should be any consideration for a decision too be made. 1. It's not like they will ever pay any of the money anyway.

#2 The victims should sue the U.S., European governments and the U.N. for propping up the Palestinian Authority. Go for the deep pockets and the people who are really responsible anyway.

#6 "It's a matter of current litigation, and the US government is taking a look at what, if anything, it will do in terms of offering a statement of interest," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters.

No decision has been taken, he said.

"Look, we are absolutely committed to defending the rights of our citizens. We are also fully committed to pursuing our national interest and defending our national interest," he said.

Ya mean...there's a difference?

"At this point, I don't have anything to offer in terms of a decision one way or another on this particular issue. We'll keep you apprised in the coming days if there's any change," he added.

Woah! Look out!! Hot Potato!!!
