The Bush Administration is trying to kick-start the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and is pouring US taxpayers’ dollars into Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah organization based on the myth that Hamas has been sidelined and isolated in Gaza, and that Abbas and Fatah want nothing to do with their Islamist brothers.

That is what Washington is selling those Americans whose hard-earned tax dollars are going to the Palestinians, but the White House and the State Department know better. They are, in fact, financing Islamic terrorism against a US ally. Continue reading »

Mainstream support in the US and Europe for the global war on terror is still fairly easy to come by when the enemy is a rogue, independent group like Osama bin Laden’s Al Qaeda.
