Bush has NEVER met with a Palestinian Leader!

Slate's "Today's Papers" summarizes: "President Bush will also host Abbas this spring, the first meeting between the president and a Palestinian leader in nearly five years."

Five years, eh? The time Bush has been in office, give our take a few waning months of Clinton's last term. Amazing, given that the war between Israel and the Palestinians is, even if not a prime cause of terrorism emanating from the Middle East, is definitely an excuse used by terrorists to justify their attacks. You would think that a President committed to ending terrorism in the region wouldn't completely ignore the diplomatic component of that mission. Yet again, Bush has failed us.
