Palestinians rebuff Rice's bid to restart peace talks
Palestinians rebuff Rice's bid to restart peace talks
By Dion Nissenbaum | McClatchy Newspapers

* Posted on Tuesday, March 4, 2008



JERUSALEM — Palestinian leaders on Tuesday rebuffed Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's efforts to kick-start peace talks as Israel warned that more violence may be just over the horizon.

Rice returned to the Middle East on a 32-hour diplomatic damage-control mission to keep alive the Bush administration's hopes of brokering a peace deal by year's end.

Peace talks skidded to a halt on the eve of Rice's arrival after an exceptionally bloody Israeli military campaign in the Gaza Strip that left more than 110 people dead.

Standing alongside Rice after talks Tuesday, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas politely ignored her public prodding to resume negotiations with Israel.

3. Bush is desperately trying to salvage his reputation...
...which is right up there with used toilet paper

I imagine any 'peace deal' from Bush/Cheney would involve blackwater patrols and Haliburton contracts and lead to the deaths of thousands of Palestinians for profit.
