Israeli settlers from the West Bank, say that any Mideast peace agreement involving further land consessions to the Palestinians is, in effect, an act of surrender by Netanyahu. The only thing left, is for Netanyahu to give Arafat his ceremonial sword!
In the interim accord to be signed, it is reported that the CIA is getting involved with Palestinian security, as it relates to Israel. Just how much is that going to cost the American taxpayer, huh? How bad will that possibly compromise future American intelligence gathering in the Middle East? How many Americans are going to be put in harms way, as our intelligence arm gets involved with trying to keep track of Hamas, et al. Won't this breed more anti-American sentiment?
Clinton was not able to pull this off without a co-star, King Hussein of Jordan ( bidding for a best supporting actor award, after his failed attempt, paired with Saddam in the Gulf War ). Clinton has proved his impotence in any serious foreign policy negotiations. He had to bring in Hussein in order to get this interim agreement signed, and he really seems to be siding with the forces of dark ( the arabs ). Appeasement of the forces of terrorism, will only make the problem worse in the long run. Maybe Clinton is running scared, after the lid came off his ' wag the dog ' cruise missile attacks scheme? Hopefully, not too many innocent Israelis will have to die, to play out this latest ' Bill Clinton Show ' episode.
Only the future will tell, how these surrender terms play in Israel, but we know that the DNC and Whitehouse spin machines are going to turn it into a stunning achievement for their beloved fearless leader. I believe Netanyahu realizes that the arabs have no real intention, to ever live up to their side or the bargain; and so, the document he is signing is just a worthless piece of paper!
