The Cellar - View Single Post - Who doesn't want a Palestinian state? Palestinian leaders, that's who

USS Clueless's theory is that the whole Bush speech was basically saying that the US isn't going to pay much attention to the Palestinians. The US is going to leave the whole thing to Israel so that it can engage Iraq and "encourage" regime changes in Syria, Iran and Saudi.

If that happens, he says, the Palestinians won't have the support of those countries, in the form of arms, bombs, money, and rewards for the families of suiciders. At that point they will begin realistic negotiations.

But USS Clueless is an optimistic hawk who makes it all seem too simple.
