From the BBC:
A senior Israeli intelligence official has praised Palestinian security forces for preventing as many militant attacks as their Israeli counterparts.
Brig Gen Yossi Kuperwasser was speaking to the Knesset foreign affairs and defence committee.
However, he gave no figures and did not say whether he was referring to the West Bank, the Gaza Strip or both.
His comments came a day after Israel handed over security responsibility for the West Bank town of Tulkarm.
Last week, the Palestinian Authority took control of the town of Jericho. Talks on the handover of a third town, thought to be Qalqilya, are expected to begin in the coming days.
Brig Gen Kuperwasser, the head of the research division of Israel Defence Forces intelligence, said that during the past few weeks Palestinian security forces had “prevented no fewer attacks than the Israeli security services”.
YOUR FOREIGN POLICY IS LIKE THE EXXON VALDEZ, MR BUSH!—A TRAIL OF SLICK LIES SPELLED OUT IN A VISCOUS GLUT OF DRUNK ARROGANCE THAT THREATENS TO POLLUTE THE ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST! AND, LIKE GREENPEACE, THE ARAB STREET SHALL ENDEAVOR TO BLOCK YOUR OIL-DRENCHED WAKE!
Yes, there’s a long way to go here. And yes, hopes for mideast peace have in the past been repeatedly dashed. But there’s a certain unseen momentum pulling history along just now, and today, as the Arab summit renews an offer to normalize relations with Israel, we have reason to hope.
Stop it ! Stop it right now! These peaceful overtures, if I may call them such, are down right anti-apocalyptic.. How are the Four Horsemen supposed to get here if you keep pushing us farther and farther from the brink.. Come on guys, read your New Testament ! Get with the program ! Your supposed to be unleashing fire and pestilence, not peace and prosperity for all.. Jeeeez !
Well that depends on if you are pre/post mil, and even the LaHaye/Jenkins’ script calls for a peace treaty signing before all hell breaks loose.
Give it time, don’t try to force things, learn the lesson of Judas.
turing: approach
as in the time is approaching…
Well cross your fingers.. one can only hope…
Can I get an Amen ?!!!

Amen, preach it brother!

Wow Jeff. It’s a good thing that the chimp isn’t fooling you, the parallel to the drunken skipper of the Exon Valdez is especially apt. I hope you’re getting pie for this outstanding journalisim. Cherry is good for a fruit. Turing word “carried” cause I can see you aint carried away with the lying VRWC and their hegemony of domination.
Hmm…I really don’t believe any of the crap I just wrote (in case you were wondering).
Let’s not forget: An oil slick of lies is nothing compared to a GAY PORN COCK OF LIES!

Secretary General Kofi Annan on Monday will propose establishing new rules for the use of military force, adopting a tough anti-terrorism treaty that would punish suicide bombers, and overhauling the United Nation’s discredited human rights commission, according to a confidential draft of a report on U.N. reform.
THE GAME IS UP, MR. BUSH!! NO LONGER CAN THE INTERNATIONALIST GOLLIWOGS EQUIVOCATE!!! THINK OF YOUR LEGACY, SIR, AND RESIGN!!!! BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!!!!!

Thank you.
Those tricky Jews. They’ll say anything. If they start rebuilding the Temple I’m buying a fall-out shelter. Or maybe just the new CD collections of all my favorite 60’s and 70’s rock musicians. Or Anne Murray for Jeff.

Just the other day I finally got around to cleaning out that old fall-out shelter that I built back in ‘63… and hell if I didnt find 100 cases of prime Korean war issue C-rations and all my favorite rock and roll from the 50’s on 45s.. not to mention a really keen ‘record player’. So right now I’m rockin with Peggy Sue and I tell you, that C-rat spaghetti tastes as good today as it did 50 years ago.. its goood eatin..

Uh, how do you “punish” suicide bombers? Mix their remains with diced bacon, perhaps?
I don’t think Kofi would do anything that drastic. Probably just speak harshly to them.
Sean,
I didn’t catch that. Duh.
To be fair, though, when Kofi says “punish” he means “pass resolutions of no practical signifigance against.” In that light, you technically could punish a small baggy of remains.
It would take you about as seriously.
Besides, that would be a waste of bacon.
Pass resolutions of no practical significance?
Ahem
Don’t you mean pass a resolution condemning the extrajudicial killing of civilians, expressing grave concern at the continuing violence, and condemning Israel for its continued illegal occupation of Palestinian territory, which directly incites the extrajudicial killing of civilians?
What’s this “Palestinian Authority” bullshit? The Ukraine couldn’t even stand to have “The” in front of its name. If they want to be taken seriously, why don’t they just call themselves Palestine?
? Golliwogs ?
Yeah. Golliwogs. Tom & John Fogerty’s San Francisco pop band before they changed their name to Creedence Clearwater Revival.
You got a problem with that, punk?
I thought Golliwog was a more, um, racialy charged word. i’m thinking debussey’s golliwog’s cakewalk background….. or smoking crack, not sure which yet.
Alpha Baboon – find any Elvis? ‘Cause a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich sounds pretty good right now.
Bacon—did y’all know Elvis kept candy bowls full of fried bacon all around Graceland? I’ve heard he was not Muslim.
but, i guess it works.
mmmmmmm, bacon.
Graceland: Atkins friendly.
AGR, no he would mean false statements like yours.
What a Cnt:CMHBsrrth post without a link to hell’s-milk-and-cookies? Doesn’t he count?
Did everyone think my attempt at UN-speak was serious?
Apparently so, AGR. Me, I couldn’t tell, so I laid off.
People, he’s Another Gay Republican! How could you think he was solemnly defending the UN? You must learn to assume the invisible smiley face when confronted with confusing shit from an ally. PS, AGR can you get me Sponge Bob Squarepants’ autograph for my kid?
I should have realized that my statement was a little too close to the BS that spews from the UN and its defenders.
Spam word: plans, as in he plans to do better next time.
Gail: SpongeBob and I are taking a little time apart. But as soon as he brings me flowers and apologizes (he knows what he did), I’ll be glad to get an autograph.
It was those jellyfish wasn’t it? Some sponges always seem to have enough time for the damned jellyfish in their lives, but ask them to prioritize for a change and what do you get? A lot of flouncing off to the Krusty Krab and late nights sneaking home with squid ink on their breath.
