Cutting ties with PA will "cause an earthquake" |
2002-01-25 |
Instead of punishing the Palestinians, Abu Rdeneh said Bush should take measures against Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and not receive him at the White House. Sharon is to meet with Bush there on Feb. 7. A U.S. decision to cut ties with the Palestinian Authority ``will cause an earthquake in the region that no one will be able to stop,'' Abu Rdeneh said. ``What is needed is to isolate Sharon.'' Abu Rdeneh insisted the Palestinian Authority had no ties to the shipment of 50 tons of weapons, including missiles. There are lies, damned lies, and Arabs. If ties are cut, they'll be back to basics in no time, pushing Americans in wheelchairs off cruise ships. But it's precisely for that reason that we should be cutting ties with Arafat. He's had his chance, and he's shown what he is. He could have stopped, but he didn't want to. What an epitaph. |
