December 8, 2006: I doubt the Iraq Survery Group asked Haniyeh ...

... when the committee decided that peace in Iraq should be linked to a solution of the Israeli-Palestinian Crisis, but he has given them a succinct answer anyway. The Palestinian Prime Minister said in Tehran the other day: "We will never recognize the usurper Zionist government and will continue our jihad-like movement until the liberation of Jerusalem." [Maybe he was just shoring up his base.-ed.]

"when the committee decided that peace in Iraq should be linked to a solution of the Israeli-Palestinian Crisis"

It's interesting to note that Baker asked Carter to appear before his committee. Talk about birds of a feather.

"Jihad-like movement"??

Sheesh.

Unfortunately, this is about what I expected from Baker and his committee of diplomatic dinosaurs. The two situations are not "linked". Solving one will have little or no effect upon the other. Our decision makers have to get out of the box of thinking that the Palestinian situation is a cause of the problems in the Middle East. It is not a cause, it is an excuse, or more charitably, a symptom.
