What a silly thing for him to say. The Palis can’t run a sanitary sewer system.

I’d blame a poor PA economy on Murtha and Rendel.

Since the dawn of I Slam,followers of the Profit Mo have demonstrated that without oil money they can just barely manage a camel race let alone maintain a civilized society.

What is it about the Israeli/Palistinian situation that makes the common sense portion of so many brains to go dormant? No one even begins to address reality or even speak about it.

I believe that Blair and his wife are lawyers, I will say no more.

"According to the Bethlehem-based Maan news agency, Quartet Envoy Tony Blair blames the “suffocating pressure of the occupation” for the poor state of the Palestinian Authority economy."

Of course the fact that they're a bunch of illiterate seventh century barbarians steeped in the clutches of a death cult has nothing to do with it. Enjoy your Dhimmitude Tony.

Just as an aside, have you ever wondered how many Arab men slip into a full Burka just to visit the women’s rest rooms.

economy... what economy??? i thought they were all on welfare.

[HeartlandOfAmerica]

Let's see: They spend all their time denouncing the only real democracy in the region.

They spend all their money on bombs and weapons to destroy same.

They spend most of their time on bombing pizza parlors.

They spend yet more time on strikes.

They spend the remaining time stone-throwing.

They have a blast (no pun intended) brainwashing their children with Mickey Mouse.

Their mobs plunder anything that remotely resembles a business like greenhouses.

But Tony can't figure out why their economy sucks vacuum.

THey spend a significant part of their time begging for foreign welfare.

Kinda slow on the uptake, aren't ya Tony???

What a panderer! I lived in Turkey for 6 years. It was not occupied and was (and still is) receiving US aid, plus monies for the use of Turkish bases. Did it improve their economy like it did in Germany? Absolutley not! Talk about waste and abuse...you have to wonder that they exist at all.

Chaos is all the Palestinians know. Look what they did with Gaza? Was that necessary? Moved into a haven on earth and destroyed it all. Some people need to have their heads examined in regards to the palestinian issues.

Blair may have been a faithful ally of the USA in the war on terror (Iraq and Afghanistan), but on the rest of the Middle East, especially Israel, he’s the usual faithless Eruoweenie. Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher, he ain’t!

Gaza isn’t “occupied” yet remains a sewer
