Doesn't it. It is the democratically elected government of Palestine now. I wager he'll find a way to not have to deal with them.

3. Not a wringer at all...
We'll just refuse to have anything to do with the PA as long as Hamas is in charge, while endorsing the notion that Israel needs to keep its security forces in the West Bank to protect against "the terrorist leaders of the Palestinian Authority."

And the PNACers will be having a field day, holding this up as "proof" that we are indeed living in a "clash of civilizations," and thus we need to establish military dominance throughout the Middle East. On to Iran and Syria!

:puke:

7. Sure, these guys have a LOOOONG history of overthrowing or
harrassing democratically elected governments that don't ask "how high?" when they say "jump!". Meanwhile they prop-up vicious dictators that do their bidding...
Iran, Chile, Argentina, Niaragua, Guatemala, Panama, Haiti, Iraq, and on and on...these guys have no shame about spinning and lying and doing what is morally reprehensible in order to further their profiteering.
