DeLay calls truce ‘paper thin’
2003-07-31
JERUSALEM: A truce by Palestinian militants is “paper thin” and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat must be further isolated if a new peace effort is to succeed, US House Majority Leader Tom DeLay told Israeli lawmakers yesterday. DeLay, on a tour of the Middle East, repeated calls for Palestinians to disarm militant groups as required by the U.S.-backed road map plan for Middle East peace. Speaking at a Knesset reception hall, DeLay Dismissed the truce called by Palestinian resistance groups a month ago, and said, “Murderers who take 90-day vacations are still murderers.”
The man's on a roll. The Dems will be taking the gas pipe, of course...

#7  We need DeLay to help George make a speech in Washington - a private speech only to the heads of Arab nations. George's speech is easy to write:

"We've had enough. The first time any terrorist organization uses a weapon of mass destruction against the United States, the following 268 points will be struck, simultaneously, with one-megaton nuclear weapons. Either clean up the mess you've created, or we'll clean house to suit ourselves."

The list should include Mecca, Medina, any other "holy city" of Islam, every capital of any Islamic nation, the Aswan Dam, and anywhere else more than two-thirds of the population is Muslim. We can exempt those who decide to really DO something against these Wahabbist bozos, on a case-by-case basis.

#5  I'm wondering if we'll be in open war with "them" come 2008. His stands and statements now will serve him - and us - well then, as even the dimwits will start to get a clue about what's at stake - and what kind of leader is needed.

#4  â€œMurderers who take 90-day vacations are still murderers.”
It hard to find a politician that can see sh** and tell you that is smells. Tom has my vote if he chooses to run.

#3  I can't imagine any better way to further "isolate" Arafart than by killing him and dragging his body through the streets of Nablus.

#1  Here is a link to the NRO copy of his speech to the Knesset. Wonder how long it will take for the leftist media to denounce him in some snide way? A really good speech, by the way.
