Apparently, in pushing "Geneva Accord" with Israeli liberals, Arafat
is pressing for a little more Palestinian maneuvering room than Bush
(not to mention Sharon) is prepared to permit.

Bush declares: "We must get rid of Arafat"
JERUSALEM, (AFP) - US President George W. Bush (news - web sites) told
an Israeli journalist that "we must get rid of" Palestinian leader
Yasser Arafat, the mass-circulation Yediot Aharonot daily has
reported.
Bush's comments came in a brief exchange with the paper's
correspondent
during a Christmas drinks party in Washington, several hours after a
keynote speech by Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon Thursday in
which
he outlined plans for unilateral disengagement from peace negotiations
with the Palestinians.
The US government has boycotted Arafat with Bush accusing the veteran
leader of failing the Palestinian people. Israel has also shunned the
74-year-old, branding him an absolute obstacle to peace and confining
him to his West Bank headquarters for more than two years.
Israel's security cabinet approved Arafat's "removal" in September,
with one minister even suggesting that he could be assassinated, but
Washington warned Israel not to attempt to expel him.
Bush was non-commital about Sharon's speech, saying that he would wait
to see what happened on the ground.
"Speeches are good things, but they are words. I am waiting for
action," he was quoted as saying.
"Now is the time to do a lot in the Middle East, and I am determined
and committed to doing that. You can be sure that I have done a lot
until now, but I am going to keep on doing. I am going to continue to
be active and committed to my vision."
