From the NYT: Powell Is Now Pressing Arafat to Combat Hamas By STEVEN R. WEISMAN WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 — After a year of trying to sideline Yasir Arafat, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell called on the Palestinian leader today to enlist the security forces under his control to help crush Hamas and other groups held responsible for the Jerusalem bus bombing on Tuesday. The unusual appeal to Mr. Arafat reflected what administration officials said was a growing realization that he remained a force to be reckoned with among Palestinians and that more pressure needed to be directed against him after the latest attack by Palestinian militants. nytimes.com Is Colin Powell out of his f--king mind? How to humiliate himself, grant Arafat a triumph, and achieve no good whatsoever in one easy step. As if this approach hadn't been tried a hundred times already, and failed a hundred times.
