#1 Abbas is a screw-up. He can't even resign correctly. He's supposed to claim a need to spend more time with his family.

#2 Of course blowing-up a bus load of women and kids had nothing to do with the failure of the peace process.

#3 No, they realize that we have a short attention span. Six months from now the busload of victims will have been forgotten, but they'll keep repeating that the Israelis killed the road map and that'll become what really happened to Rooters and CNN.

#4 Agreed, Raptor these bastards must PAY for that--but it's the Saudis--not the Paleos (to use your nomenclature)who did that shit. And the Saudis will never pay because they are the Bush allies

#5 Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian prime minister, tendered his resignation yesterday, citing interference by Yasser Arafat and insufficient support from Israel, the United States, and Palestinians...

Had the guy taken the initiative and formed his own forces to root out and slice up the various terrorist organizations, it's likely that Mazen would have gotten all the "support" he would have wanted. Instead, he avoids doing what needs to be done with lame excuses such as he doesn't want to start a civil war, or that Arafat won't give him control of security forces. This is all nothing but BULLSHIT, and unfortunately, since GWB and the State Dept. are so hardheaded, this probably isn't going to be the last time that this runaround is going to happen.
