BRIT HUME, FOX NEWS: Former Middle East envoy Dennis Ross has worked to achieve Middle East peace throughout President Clinton's final days in office.

No, you must be thinking of Israelis in Jenin. The Duke wouldn't do that.
Haven't seen that movie for a LONG time. He wouldn't do that, would he?

Sorry, Yasser, too late.
