Clinton sez Arafat turned to terrorism

Quote:
What the hell is this? Why is she turning the mistakes we {i.e., the US and Israel} made into the essence? The true story of Camp David was that for the first time in the history of the conflict the American president put on the table a proposal, based on UN Security Council resolutions 242 and 338, very close to the Palestinian demands, and Arafat refused even to accept it as a basis for negotiations, walked out of the room, and deliberately turned to terrorism. That's the real story—all the rest is gossip.
Those are Clinton's words quoted from the NYT Review of Books, taking to task NYT reporter Deborah Sontag, reported by ex-New Republic editor Andrew Sullivan on his site.

And frankly, that sews it up, doesn't it? Jag, are you still prepared to say that terror is the only tool the Palestinians have? tw, now that your favorite foreign-affairs administration notes that Arafat is the problem and was always the problem, does that change anything?
