GG Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Traitor. 112973[/snapback] I told you. I'm in a great mood today. There's a new dawn. It's time for reconciliation. I'll bring back NJSue. I'll bring VBBF around enough that he'll make Ed look like the Dali Lama. And I guarantee that after Tenny visits with Kuchma's criminals, he'll be buying grouper sammiches for the whole PPP crew. Alas, I don't think I can do anything with Boomer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blzrul Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Maybe they'll ask a former President to go. That way the Administration's not involved but it couldn't be construed negatively if a guy like Carter or Clinton, both of whom worked hard on brokering peace in that hellhole, were to attend. Of course both are private citizens and could go if they wanted anyway I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 That is an excellent question and one I am sure has been the subject of some teeth gnashing at the White House and State Department. I think we should send whoever it is besides the Prez and the Veep that would send the strongest message that we take the Palestinian claim to a homeland very seriously. We do not need to convince Israel of our sincerity, objectivity nor the depth of our committment to their security. We do have a long way to go to convince Palestinians and other Arabs that they can trust us as a mediator not to sell them out or just parrott whatever positioin Israel would like us to take. This decision has to be made with the future in mind and not based on whether we think Arafat was the worst criminal of the last 40 years or a nationalist patriot or something inbetween. 112920[/snapback] Yes, let's legitimize murderers, terrorists and thugs everywhere. Let's send someone who will wax poetic about how wonderful a person Arafat was, how he was such a universally misunderstood guy. How he was a visionary and brought the whole world together in love and harmony. How he so adroitly managed the PA's finances to the benefit of his own people. How he stopped radicals like Hamas and Islamic Jihad from killing women and children. Let's all sing Yassir Arafat's praises! Send Jimmy Carter!!

VABills Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 I'm disgusted we have to send anyone, frankly. But...setting emotion aside, and recognizing the practical matter of representation at the funeral demonstrating a level of recognition of the PA that could help foster peace in the region...Armitage would be a reasonable choice. Dan Kurtzer (US Ambassador to Israel) would send an interesting message to both Israel and the PA. And sending John Danforth would be entertaining for the confusion it would cause. My preference emotionally, though, would be to send General Michael W. Hagee...because Arafat deserves to be escorted to Hell by a Marine... 112837[/snapback] He might start firing at the SOB just to make sure he is dead. Hell send PX Kelley.

Mickey Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 I beg to differ. You show exactly what you thought of Arafat by sending in Travis Henry. But in your first meeting with Abbas next week, you send Powell. That's the message. 112931[/snapback] Arabs across the region will be watching the funeral, they won't be watching a diplomatic meeting next tuesday. Arafat is what passed for a moderate among his people. Send a flunky to the funeral will send the message that we simply don't care about Palestinians, never have and never will. We will confirm the worst lies told about us by the worst terrorists among them. Sending Powell won't alienate Israel but may buy us some credibility where we currently have less than none.

You give terrorists legitimacy when you acknowledge them and try and converse with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
