#1 Fox just had a clip where the reporter said the US/Israeli pressure might harm Abbas, cuz now the Paleos will have to reject him, just cuz....

dumb bastards will never have a functioning state, they're too in love with hate and death, and never did get that cause/effect thing...seems to be an Arab cultural failing

#3 Actually it's true that Abbas is no different than any other hack there, but Bush put the effort into getting him as someone to talk to, if there ever was going to be a Paleo state formed. The Paleos themselves refuse to take a step down that path, cutting off the nose to spit their face is an excellent cliche here. I think it's a done deal that the Paleos have killed the chance for the forseeable future, and getting rid of Abbas will allow us to say: "Hey, we tried"....notice there hasn't been an effort to stop the IDF/IAF killing Hamas snuffies lately? Bush must've put the muzzle on Colin?

#4 Why do we care which powerless clown is in the Prime Minister spot?

I don't believe we do. It's more form than function.
