Frist has until the end of June to use that "juice" he has ,... politicos' "juice" has a shelf life, it may already be spoiled
We need another Bush like we need another McNut.
Screw them all, nothing but traitors and cowardly milksops.
...well maybe not Trent Lot, but perhaps Bob Dole, er a... well maybe not Bob Dole, but perhaps...
Aw to hell with it. The Senate sucks!
I view this as giving the Palestinians enough rope to hang themselves. If the handover and additional funding doesn't show rewards such as the discontinuance of vile anti-Jewish propaganda in the Palestinian newspapers and an end to the teaching of the idiology of destroying the Jews to school children, and it doesn't bring peaceful co-existance, then the Palestinians should be the ones pushed out of the area.
It's time for the Palestinians to put up or shut up. Either start being 'a partner', or exit to one of the middle-eastern states that will give you a better deal than Israel will.
I haven't much patience left. I feel this effort by Israel will be met with the same results all the other efforts have been met with. That being said, I think it's best to give this last effort a chance. When it fails, as I believe it will, then it will be time to expel all Arabs from the area and put the nix to there every being a 'Palestinian' state next to Israel.
There are plenty of reasons to disagree with me here. I acknowledge that. I just want it to be blatantly clear why Israel is going to expell the "Palestinians". End of story.
BTW, to you and I both, it already is.
I suppose you'd feel safer with another Clinton?
I'd prefer to make my own decisions about which charities to support.
Suha Arafat: ..Yes Frist, tell your american taxpayers foot the bill. I got all the money :)
Forgive me for intruding...
It's always easy to 'just keep giving 'em more rope with which to hang themselves'- "let's just give 'em a little more rope...", well, are we ever going to use that rope to just hang 'em?
Or do we just keep giving them more rope?
I am so angry at the cr*p going on this week to begin with, then this $50,000,000 gift to terrorists... Like that money is not going to get to Hamas and Al Qaeda? How many of our troops and innocent Israelis will end up dead because of this? !@#$%^&*!!!!
You're going to get Clinton whether you like it or not in 08.
How many millions have been given to the Palestinians over the last 10 years and what is the population there?
There's not one bit of difference anyway.
There's not one bit of difference anyway.
You're much too cynical.
It may surprise you, but I agree completely. The problem for Israel is that Europe and the rest of the world lean too heavily toward blaming Israel for everything.
If Israel were getting a fair shake, it would have been given the green light to expel the Arabs ('Palestinians') years ago. Well, things aren't fair.
If this handover does not result in peace, then to hell with Europe and the rest of the world.
You know, we keep playing footsie with the U.N. and the E.U., and it's buys neither Israel our ourselves anything anymore. Both are corrupt entities.
I do believe that Israel will be understood more, if this doesn't pay off, but there's more than an even chance I'm just kidding myself here.
Sooner or later Israel is going to have to say, "To hell with everyone else, it's our future, and we'll to what's right for us from here on out."
To say this is the "Palestinian's" last chance is a vast understatement.
Nothing like good ole fashioned conservative values..
Fighting terrorism in Iraq
funding it in Israel
And leaving the borders open for terrorists 24/7
And being lobbied by their front groups
Maybe Frist and shrub can take a weekend vacation to the Texas ranch and scoop up some barnyard brains, but it does not seem to do the rancher much good.
It's all about the money.
Not cynical enough.
Every so often, I let someone talk me into giving the pubs or the judicial system another chance.
The correct answer is that we were sold out long ago, and while there are nominally two parties, they are both run with the same ultimate vision in mind.
There is only personal rivalries among the conspirators and no effort anywhere to move us back from the precipice we stand upon.
It will be THE EVIL in 08 with thirty something per cent of the vote after the third (maybe even fourth)party split.

With this years aid, about $1.3 billion, most of it since 2000 for about 3.6 million palestinians. That's exclusive of our funding for UNWRA, 30% of the budget, which varies year to year, but is generally upwards of $100 million.
Make those terrorists spend some of Arafat's Billions!
We've got better things to do w OUR money!
