Is anyone listening?
Palestinian leader to Al-Qaeda: "We hate the Americans more than you!"
by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook- Jan. 3, 2007
A former Palestinian Authority (PA) Minister from Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah party has wished Al Qaeda success in its attacks against the US, and in its targeting of President George W. Bush. The Fatah leader, Abu Ali Shahin, said in an interview on official PA TV: "Do to Bush whatever you want, and we wish you success... We are fighting the Americans and hate the Americans more than you!"
"Oh [Al-Qaeda] brother, leave us and focus on your business. You have Bush! Do to Bush what you want, and we wish you success with Bush, even more. I, Abu Ali Shahin, wish you success with Bush...
Whoever is interested in creating a split in the Palestinian camp, is not serving anyone but the Americans and their protégé, the Zionist Imperialist Project. We are fighting the Americans and hate the Americans more than you!
We know we are described as enemies of the Americans. About Americans, we say, publicly: the central, head enemy to the Arab Palestinian people and to the national struggle, is this American leadership embodied by the White House and this George Bush sitting there.”

Sadly our elected leaders are pitted in a battle to undermine the President and his authority, that makes them no better than the PA.The enemy of my enemy is my friend is the prevailing theme. This was demonstrated Friday by the House and again Saturday by the Senate. Open displays of treason are shown world wide to our enemies, signalling that there will be no retalliations for future attacks against our allies or ourselves.

We should give them more money. And more weapons.

You're absolutely right Jack. This congress is doing more to destroy this country than al-queda.
and Rene, sadly, that's likely just what we will do.
