Bush talks of a Palestinian state

Skipping past the unbelievable Bush claim that he will resolve a mideast peace within 12 months, this exchange caught my eye.
"The question is whether or not hard issues can be resolved and the vision emerges, so that the choice is clear amongst the Palestinians," Bush said. "The choice being, `Do you want this state? Or do you want the status quo? Do you want a future based upon a democratic state? Or do you want the same old stuff?"'

"We want a state, of course," Abbas said in English.

  • And by "democratic" we mean a state where we pick the winners...

    Good luck.

  • Or a state that only includes Fatah. In theory, that would allow us not to intervene.

    (In practice, it's only a matter of time.)

  • State of total and utter ruin.

  • As the discussion above, without Hamas/Gaza, it's all temporary anyhow.
