The Abbas Pander

After pandering to the terrorists, declaring Israel the Zionist Enemy, calling for the release of terrorists held in Israeli jails, refusing to de-Hamasify the PA, and running only against a mass murderer who would never be let out of his jail cell in Israel to take over the PA, Mahmoud Abbas won the PA "election".

The man is a terrorist who said "'I present this victory to the soul of Yasser Arafat and present it to our people and to our martyrs,'" according to the article linked above. The article also said Abbas is "widely known" as Abu Mazen. Actually, that is his warrior name -- a tradition of the Arab militants. His war? Killing innocent Jews as a member of the PLO.
