| Ahmed Korei won’t be PM if it requires bringing terrorists to justice. |

| Hat tip LGF RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - Ahmed Korei, nominated to be "No! They need to continue their murders!" Laying down terms for accepting what many see as a poisoned chalice, Korei urged Israel to stop trying to isolate A boy whom they say was in the fighting Korei has delayed a decision on whether to accept Arafat’s nomination to replace Mahmoud Abbas, who quit on Saturday, leaving the fate of a U.S.-backed peace plan in the balance. The roadmap? Oh, that’s been torn for months. "I have told the Americans, Arabs, Russians...everybody, that this situation cannot continue. I will not be under the Israeli dictate-- ’do this and don’t do that’," he told Reuters. "They are too strict. "Stop those who purposely kill civilians."" He was referring to Israeli demands the Palestinian Authority crush militant groups, an obligation under the peace plan but a step which Palestinian officials say could sow civil war if Israel’s army maintains its grip on Palestinian cities. Jews need to survive too. Korei called for a cease-fire agreement between the Palestinian Authority and Israel, rather than another unilateral truce by militants to ensure both sides keep their powder dry. The Palis won’t. He said Palestinian leaders were committed to co-existence with Israel under the "road map" peace plan outlining steps to end nearly three years of violence and create a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip by 2005. |

| #6 "I have told the Americans, Arabs, Russians...everybody, that this situation cannot continue. I will not be under the Israeli dictate-- ’do this and don’t do that’," he told Reuters. What is so funny is that the only thing that has ever really been said repeatedly by Israel is that whoever is in charge dismantle Hamas and the other terrorist organizations (It's amazing how I even end up saying this over and over and over). What's more, it's one of the conditions on that stupid "roadmap". But somehow the person in charge can't find it within themselves to do the job. I repeat, they WON'T DO IT. They won't fulfill their commitment toward a lasting solution. All that is offered are either excuses (not wanting to start a "civil war") or distractions ("I have told the Americans, Arabs, Russians...everybody, that this situation cannot continue. I will not be under the Israeli dictate-- ’do this and don’t do that" or saying that he would only accept the position if he had guarantees that Israel would comply with its obligations under the "road map" peace plan). The Palestinian leadership is STALLING. Grant them NO MORE TIME, and NO MORE CHANCES. Their leaders have failed to prove themselves to be trustworthy, honorable individuals, and giving any more chances to the current leadership would be ignoring reality. Further "diplomacy" would certainly be a waste of time and a waste of effort. It's time for the IDF to get on with the task of cleaning out the West Bank and Gaza, and the sooner they get the show going, the sooner it will be over. |

| #4 Haven't we heard enough from these a@@holes? What's wrong with taking the Fatah leadership to the Lebanon border and kicking them out? The Pals really need to clean house politically or they will NEVER have peace. But then I guess Arafart probably killed anyone who opposed him. I think at the next meeting the IAF should practice precision bombing. |

| #3 Transalation and Summary of this story: Please stop killing Hamas! My Master, Lord Arafish, is afraid he might be killed next! And we need to keep killing more of your people! |

| #2 Note to Isreal: Get it over with for crying out loud. Steam roller the bastards into the sea. When the Arabs attack the US can invade to destroy their military assets and then leave the country. No "nation building" required. Just decimate their offensive capabilities and leave. No civilian casualties (unless they're strapped to the tanks) clean and easy. Then we can move onto more important news like an asteroid slamming into us or an Elvis sighted in the Austrailia outbacks or something. |

| #1 Looks like a months long process where Abu #2 whining is covered by the big media while the real war between Israel and Hamas takes place, mostly in the shadows. |
