With the world watching, Abbas is flying high -David Horovitz
There is no Israeli flag flying from any of the flagpoles outside the Washington hotel where Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and the Israeli delegation are staying for this week's Annapolis summit. Security concerns, presumably.
A short drive away, at the Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's hotel, by contrast, the Palestinian flag waves high and proud. And, inside, members of the Palestinian delegation are only too happy to publicize their presence and spread their message.

Whatever comes out of Tuesday's conference, the Palestinians have reasons to be cheerful. Abbas's authority is being publicly bolstered by a grand show of support from across the Arab world and beyond.

When House Speaker Nancy Pelosi paid Syrian strongman Bashar Assad a [visit] back in April, President Bush denounced her for sending "mixed signals" that "lead the Assad government to believe they are part of the mainstream of the international community, when in fact they are a state sponsor of terror."
On Tuesday, said sponsor of terror will take its place at the table Rice has set for the Middle Eastern conference in Annapolis.

I cannot see how anything final, or good for Israel, can come from this summit. I can only assume that the various Arba Leaders did not boycott a summit run by a President who invaded a sovereign Muslim country, is they really do support the various Bush policies and actions that have led to the $100 a barrel oil that allows all these countries to update their armaments, and have the finances to pursue nuclear ambitions. Kudos to Soundbites for posting the second article, that so clearly points to both the Bush administrations hypocrisy as well as to their desperation and bad judgement.
As you know, i stay as far as possible from partisanship and the like. i rarely comment directly on standing political figures.
But this soundbite was too poignant to pass up!
Sometimes a person has to do...what a person has to do.
