Watch Chimp take credit for peace between Isreal and Palestine

[TheFarseer]

Just like Reagan with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Reagan spending money like a 15 year old in Vegas with his dad's credit card did much less than Michael Gorbachev, Lech Walensa and others. Peace in the Holy Land is suddenly looking like a posibility and that jack-ball has nothing to do with it. If there is peace, it will be because they are finally sick of violence and realize it will not help them get their way, and because of a new genaration of leadership. It will not be because bush outspent them or the Iraqi election or the road map or any of the garbage FOX will want you to believe.

THE POLITICIAN; Jawal Abdul Saleh, Independent Palestinian Legislative Council member

"It is difficult to see a solution with Mr Bush and Mr Sharon. Maybe Bush in his second term is not paying so much attention to the Jewish lobby - but the Israelis do nothing to give Abu Mazen credibility - like taking down the checkpoints which choke us or releasing prisoners who have not almost completed their terms. If Abu Mazen goes on with reform he will be a hero. He seems too attracted by the international arena."

THE CAFÉ PROPRIETOR: Ben Elul Yakov

"If it is land or people's lives, I prefer to give up the land. We can live with a two-state solution. We can live together, but if you want separation, let's separate. I employ Palestinians. The problem isn't between people, it's between the leaders and the politicians. The problem is if you put the politicians and the organisations, the factions into the equation. We have the same mentality as Palestinians. We inhabit the same place. We know each other very well."

4. All part of the plan.

Interesting how perfectly timed Arafat's death was. Think that was simply an accident? This way, no matter how much they f-uck up Iraq and no matter what they do next in Iran, they can say that they did everything possible to make peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Never mind how many have been working tirelessly to win the peace for years. Keep the kool aide pouring...

6. No Accident

Bush has a personal line open with God, remember?

He asked God to strike Arafat down at this time.

Next thing you know, Fidel Castro will die, and Cuba will become, of it's own, a nice little well-behaved corporate-crony capitalist nation, and Bush will take credit for that, too.

7. I'm with you...

Arafat did "leave the scene" just in time, didn't he? It gives me the creeps just thinking about it!

5. Yeah, Buscho doesn't lift a finger for 5 years as people kill

each other, ignores the efforts of Blair, declines to take part in the Middle East Conference that Blair pushes, then SUDDENLY, they're ready for peace.

They are craven.
