Condi: We Don't Want 'Helter-Skelter' Israeli Pullout
2002-04-07
  • President Bush's national security adviser said on Sunday that while Bush wants Israel to withdraw without delay from Palestinian cities, he understands "that it can't be helter-skelter and chaotic." The comment from national security adviser Condoleezza Rice in an interview on CNN's "Late Edition" came as Israel defied a U.S. appeal to pull out of Palestinian cities.
    If we don't want a disorderly pullout, then they're not defying us, are they, Rooters?
    I think that the Israelis are defying us _according to plan_. The more I read the more it looks like Bush has decided to give the Euroweenies and Arabs a taste of their own techniques. The Israelis will "defy" us and we'll sob to the Euroweenies "oh, what can we do, they're so upset they just won't listen! Could you get the Palestinians to make a gesture?" I mean, when Zinni suckered the Palestinians into forming that committee, I knew that somebody on the Bush team is just yanking their chain.
