Qureia in trouble: difficult to find non terrorists for cabinet

EFL and from Debka
Ahmed Qureiâs plan to set up a broad 24-member national emergency government under Yasser Arafatâs guidance is dead in the water.
Maybe he needs a road map to a cabinet.
US secretary of state Colin Powell said in Detroit that if Abu Ala doesnât make a solid commitment to the road map and clamp down on terrorists, âit is not clear how we can go forward.â He was referring diplomatically to what are described by DEBKAfileâs exclusive sources as alarm bells jangling in several Western capitals, that forced Qurei and Arafat to back away from their first plan to set up a Palestinian administration under Arafatâs thumb with representation for terrorist factions.
Terrorism apologists are OK but not terrorism operators.
In Washington, the Bush administration read with growing concern DEBKAfileâs reports that at least five of the 14 cabinet portfolios designated for Arafatâs majority Fatah faction were assigned to Tanzim militia terrorists. Hamas and the radical Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine were also promised seats at the cabinet table.
This might get Europe sued for abetting murder because they subsidize the PA.
Washington was most riled by the post awarded Hamas representative Moussa Zubut - euphemistically said to be acting on behalf of the âIslamic Bloc of Gazaâ.
How about Islamic Blockheads of Gaza - that would be more accurate.
US officials were also furious over the first-time presence in any Palestinian government of Karif Faran, a member of Naif Hawatmeâs Palestine Democratic Front member. Faran, better known to Palestinians as âAmar Abu Leilaâ, is an ardent supporter of the deposed Iraqi ruler Saddam Hussein.
Also his last name in the non de guerre is too sexy of a character on Futurama
Arafat is also beset with trouble at home. Dahlan, internal security minister in the sacked government of Abu Mazen, has been on the war path in the last week, resisting Abu Alaâs many pleas to join the government. Abu Ala has also failed to bring on board another influential Palestinian, Ahmad Saadat, head of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, who has been confined in Jericho jail since May 2002 under US and British supervision for ordering the assassination of an Israeli minister. Early Tuesday September 30, Arafat, Abu Ala and several Fatah leaders put their heads together at Ramallah headquarters to decide how to proceed from the wreckage of their national emergency government.
No doubt the ISM and other pro terrorism NGOs supplied them with plenty of 3 ring binders.

#1 I just don't know why somebody couldn't find a nice bullet riddles wall, line up these murderers and do the right thing.

NEWS FLASH to the BUSHIES. There is no road, there ain't no map and will be no peace as long as murderers are treated as statesmen and we paper over the obvious problems.
