But, Arafat has agreed to nothing!! As in the past, when pressed, he will say, "yes, but..." He agrees at the front end to a general concept which he will later reject when he requires unaccepatble preconditions for moving forward.

The U.S. dismissed Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat's comments to Ha'aretz that he now accepts the proposal of former U.S. president Bill Clinton for a permanent status agreement between Israel and the Palestinians.

Too bad yassir baby. Your timing is just a little off.
