Israel-Palestine
Paleo PM Sqeals like a pig!
2004-04-14
Palestinian Hand Puppet Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia on Wednesday rejected statements made by President Bush implying that Israel would be allowed to keep some West Bank settlements in a peace agreement.
Sooooooo-EEEEEEE!
After meeting Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in Washington, Bush said a peace agreement must take into account realities that have developed in the decades since Israel captured the West Bank. Bush said that the existence of Israeli population centers - referring to settlements - must be taken into account.
What?! Recognize reality? I think he’s expecting too much from these monkeys...
Palestinians demand a state in all of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with the removal of all Israeli settlements.
See what I mean?
Minutes after Bush spoke, Qureia harshly criticized his stand. "He is the first president who has legitimized the settlements in the Palestinian territories when he said that there will be no return to the borders of 1967," he said. "We as Palestinians reject that, we cannot accept that, we reject it and we refuse it."
To quote mr. elliot: "TS"
Palestinian Cabinet minister Saeb Erekat also dismissed Bush’s statement. "This is like someone giving a part of Texas’ land to China," he told The Associated Press , who looked awfully puzzled at the specious analogy. He said that over the years, U.S. administrations have assured the Palestinians that issues like borders and settlements would be handled in negotiations between the two sides.
And you’ve assured us you’d stop blowin’ shit up. I guess we both lied.
Erekat said, "If Israel wants to make peace, it must talk to the Palestinian leadership."
If you can find any.

#4  [This will give Carter a stroke!] It's just amazing how many people can't tolerate straight talk and logic. The Paleos lost in 67. Settlers aside, why in the world would they get it all back. The're lucky to get anything back -- they should have been driven into Egypt right after 67. This world needs four more years of GWB's straight talk.
