Looks like that "Palestinian" state is still far away
Arafat deputy Abu Mazen reneges on call to halt terror attacks
Yasser Arafat's deputy, Mahmoud Abbas, who has been touted as a candidate for prime minister, has reneged on a call to halt all terror attacks against Israelis.
According to media reports, Abbas, known better as Abu Mazen, made the statement at a meeting this morning.
After advocating a total cessation of terror attacks for a year, Abu Mazen now feels attacks against targets in the territories would be justified, Israel Radio reports.
The turnabout is attributed to Abu Mazen's candidacy for premier. Arafat has promised to name a prime minister, or second-in-command, as a step toward meeting US demands to implement democratic reform in the Palestinian Authority.
Uh, Yasser and Abu, putting up one of your
puppets who advocates Islamist terrorism and the continuing murder of Jews and Israelis is NOT what President Bush meant by "democrat reforms."
Ask around.
With these PLA dudes, it's always SSDD.
