Congressmen to AIPAC: We'll legislate Bush's promises
http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/spages/428593.html

WASHINGTON - Leading Democratic and Republican Congressmen told the American Israel Public Affairs Committee annual conference Monday that they plan to work toward formalizing in American law the contents of the letter U.S. President George W. Bush gave Prime Minister Ariel Sharon last month.

In the letter, Bush rejected the Palestinians' claim of a right of return of refugees to Israel and said it was unrealistic to expect a full Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank.

Officials in the Jewish community elaborated on remarks made by House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) and House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Maryland), saying they intend to begin gathering signatures in the coming days for a bill proposing legislation of Bush's promises elaborated upon in his letter to Sharon.

....


Congressmen to Palestinians, "you're not even human." (props to dtf)

1. Naturally, one expects to be repulsed by anything DeLay says, but.....
...Hoyer's speech was just as sickening :puke:

I watched part of this on C-Span and it was a truly disgusting PNAC driven cult of neocon shitbag Sharon worship.
