At the head of a seven-member congressional delegation's fact-finding trip to the Middle East, U.S. Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) said that Israel's security fence "is an important contributor to the reduction of acts of terrorism." McCain assured his Israeli hosts that they would be able to reach an agreement with the United States on the fence's route.
At a joint press conference with Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom on Sunday, McCain said the fence "is important to the security of the State of Israel and it was also raised between President Bush and Prime Minister Sharon. Many of us in Congress feel it is an important contributor to the reduction of acts of terrorism.
"The Oslo accord failed because it was based on the premise that the Palestinian and Israeli peoples could live peacefully together. The security fence will test whether they can live peacefully apart," McCain said.

He’s such an ass.
But fence is not important to us? He also voted AGAINST barring terrorits from the US.
LOL...ok I’ll bite....
BUT LET ‘EM KEEP STREAMING OVER THE BORDER IN THE US, MCLAME?!?!?!
Can you say SUPER HYPOCRITE!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!
Will the fence keep Mexicans out?
/sarcasm>
well the mexicans aren’t blowing themselves up. But it does prove that a fence can work to keep them out.
what a Maroon!
Was this before or after he called the fence “...a wall that is an impediment to peace in the Middle East”?
I guess McCain can’t go even one day without slapping US in the face.
Isn’t Chertoff a dual-citizen anyway? Maybe he should go home and learn how security actually works when you have a vile enemy outside your borders.
Once again successfully rousing the rabble, of which I’m a proud member.
McLame’s hypocrisy knows no bounds. A fence for Israel but not the US? Absolutely preposterous.
This man is clearly unfit to lead the nation.
this was 2003
Hypocrisy, thy name is McCain.
A fence for Israel is good, but too good for the Mexican border????
Come on Juan......get real. A terrorist is a terrorist regardless of which open border it crosses.
I agree. Somebody posted that more Americans are killed by illegal aliens than in Iraq. Terrorists also slip across the border, and MS13 and other Hispanic gangs have ties to Islamic terrorists.
Is he?
It looks like it, although most sites that confirm it are either conspiracy sites or anti-jewish. Apparently his mother was an Israeli flight attendant.
