#1 the Israel/PLO situation is one area that the Dems have made credible efforts at peace (and without selling out the Jews...except for Carter). Comments such as Hoyers are to be welcomed. Calling a spade a spade will get much more progress than trying to pretend the Paleos will ever accept a peace with a Jewish state.

#2 However, everybody (Dems, Reps and Israelis) are letting Abbas get away with saying that the prisoner release was in the road map. Since the prisoner release wasn't in the road map, this statement actually constitutes incitement to violence (although with a fuse attached).

#3 "Nobody believes that Arafat is pursuing peace positively at this point," Hoyer said. "And thatâs the problem."

What the hell is he talking about, have you ever heard of the State Department down the street at Foggy Bottom?

#4 mhw - 'zactly so. Arafat's death will do more for Paleo advancement in civilization than any other move they could make outside civil war. But I'd settle for that as well...

#5 Wonder why 29 House Democrats had to go all the way to Israel to announce the obvious? Next they will head on over to Saudi Arabia and say that they produce a bunch of oil. On the way back they will have a brief stopover in Paris and delcare they speak a funny french-sounding language. This is the Junket season, god help us!
