What $1.6 billion in aid buys the US in the Palestinian Authority:
Sheik Ahmad Bahr, acting Speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council, declared during a Friday sermon at a Sudan mosque that America and Israel will be annihilated and called upon Allah to kill Jews and Americans "to the very Last One".
I'm reminded of Condi Rice's interview with Cal Thomas last year. "The great majority of Palestinian people," said the Secretary of State, "they just want a better life. This is an educated population. I mean, they have a kind of culture of education and a culture of civil society. I just don't believe mothers want their children to grow up to be suicide bombers. I think the mothers want their children to grow up to go to university."
Cal Thomas asked a sharp follow-up: "Do you think this or do you know this?"
"Well, I think I know it," said Dr. Rice.
I don't think she does know it.
ping.
Shikse Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, responded, "OK by me, as long as I'm the Last One."
Steyn is right; foolish statement by Condi. Golda Meir (I think it was she) knew better when she said the terror and homicide bombings by Palestinians wouldn’t stop until they love their children more than they hate the Jews. Apparently, that day is not yet here.
Wow.
Possibly the shortest Steyn piece ever....
Find out as to what kind of schools Rice attended. You’ll then be one step closer to the truth.

Condi was pretty good as NSA... She is horrible as SoS. If there was any doubt before, there should be none now.
I can’t believe that I was once a Condi for President cheerleader.
Condi has fallen a good bit since taking the reins at State. Probably it was a good thing for Republicans to see that she is more centrist and not as conservative as many would hope.
The just define a "better life" with the destruction of Israel and the Death of Americans.
What is it about working in the State Department that turns normally sensible people into fantasyland dreamers?
The Islamofacists want us all dead.
What part of this is ‘confusing’?
All THOSE people left “Palestine” in the 50s and 60s - the scum is all that’s left.
Israel is building its wall in the wrong spot - they should be surrounding Gaza and the West Bank, not themselves - let ‘em go after each other like rats in a coffee can.
Job security at State requires severe psychological softness for our enemies. Just look at how the Senate railroaded nonconformist John Bolton, rejected for an ambassadorship by negative-23-vote margin.
