Powell Says He May Meet with Arafat |
2002-04-07 |
I think most of us doubt greatly he's going to return with a cease-fire deal. Because of the Europressure, Israel will withdraw from the West Bank, at which time the Palestinians will stupidly "counter-attack" from the Gaza Strip while the West Bank thugs strut around pretending they "drove the IDF out." If the "counter-attack" results in enough dead Israelis, the Gaza organizations can be stomped next, possibly as early as week after next. Watch to see if the reservists are demob'd. My guess is that they won't be. NPR said this morning that Powell's first stop was in Morocco. Now, Morocco hasn't exactly been a diplomatic powerhouse recently, but they did offer to take in Yassir if he suddenly needed to relocate. Perhaps Colin is doing some advance Apartment hunting? |
