Right. An opinion piece by a raving partisan. Yeah, a real credible source you picked, Dave. Like you, he cherry picks stuff to support his conclusions, instead of looking at the data and drawing conclusions from them. Obama didn't call for a complete withdrawal the the 1967 borders either. Did you notice this language? It is realistic to expect that any final status agreement will only be achieved on the basis of mutually agreed changes that reflect these realities. In other words, the land swap stuff that Obama was talking about. As Bush made clear here. The point of departure for permanent status negotiations to realize this vision seems clear: There should be an end to the occupation that began in 1967. The agreement must establish Palestine as a homeland for the Palestinian people, just as Israel is a homeland for the Jewish people. These negotiations must ensure that Israel has secure, recognized, and defensible borders. And they must ensure that the state of Palestine is viable, contiguous, sovereign, and independent. It is vital that each side understands that satisfying the other's fundamental objectives is key to a successful agreement. Security for Israel and viability for the Palestinian state are in the mutual interests of both parties. Achieving an agreement will require painful political concessions by both sides. While territory is an issue for both parties to decide, I believe that any peace agreement between them will require mutually agreed adjustments to the armistice lines of 1949 to reflect current realities and to ensure that the Palestinian state is viable and contiguous. I believe we need to look to the establishment of a Palestinian state and new international mechanisms, including compensation, to resolve the refugee issue. georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov So I look forward to you denouncing Bush for throwing Israel under the bus. You do want to be consistent, don't you?
