Abbas Shows His True Colors - In Arabic

Arafat II 'Moderate' Mahmoud Abbas made some fairly revealing and outrageous statements today..which of course, the dinosaur media is ignoring.

The Bush Administration's favorite terrorist leader was in a feisty and defiant mood today, and spoke to the Jordanian paper al-Dustur after a meeting with Jordan's King Abdullah:

"At this present juncture, I am opposed to armed struggle because we cannot succeed in it, but maybe in the future things will be different," he said.

Like,maybe after Bush and Condi Rice pressure the Israelis into giving you all of Judea and Samaria and half of Jerusalem, and Israel is inundated with Arab 'refugees'?

Abbas also expressed pride in his terrorist past, and like his old boss Yasir Arafat reminded his Arab audience that peace negotiations are just a temporary ploy to put the hated Jews off guard until a more opportune moment to destroy them arrives:

"I had the honor of firing the first shot in 1965 and of being the one who taught resistance to many in the region and around the world; what it's like; when it is effective and when it isn't effective; its uses, and what serious, authentic and influential resistance is," Abbas said.

"It is common knowledge when and how resistance is detrimental and when it is well timed," he added. "We (Fatah) had the honor of leading the resistance and we taught resistance to everyone, including Hezbollah, who trained in our military camps."

This is whom George W. Bush and Condi Rice call 'a man of peace.'

But wait, there's more...Abbas also did a nice job of biting the hand that feeds him.

Abbas said that if the Bush Administration didn't succeed in making the Israelis knuckle under before the end of 2008, "then there will never be any future chances to achieve this goal."

Abbas also criticized the Bush Administration for not pressuring Israel to his satisfaction, saying that the US "must understand it is to play an active role, not just as a supervisor, by intervening directly to help make peace." Or in other words,now Abbas is not only cheerfully taking US money but dictating to the Bush Administration that they had better hurry up and deliver Israel - or else.

Your tax dollars at work, ladies and gentlemen.

To finish up, Abbas added an unintentionally funny bit, except he was dead serious; he criticized Israel and demanded that they "stop escalating the situation in the Palestinian territories and stop all attacks in the Gaza Strip, including firing missiles there."

Is Arafat II Mahmoud Abbas the epitome of gall, or what?

This is beyond ludicrous...except that just like Yasir Arafat, Abbas is giving us a clear picture of exactly whom he really is and what he has planned for the future.
