Stupid Palestinians

This is obviously just a ruse used by the State Department to retain cooperation and respect from the Palestinians until the end of Rice's term as Secretary of State.

There is a "good possibility" Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice could be chosen as Sen. John McCain's presidential running mate, Palestinian officials here say they were told by U.S. politicians in recent days.

"We were told by U.S. politicians there is a good possibility we may still be dealing with Rice in the future, but this time as vice president," one Palestinian official told WND.

And, of course they're stupid enough to believe it.

End of story.
