Charles Johnson notes that in August Ehud Olmert’s partners in peace plotted to murder him. Charles comments:

I’m sure all these high-spirited hijinx will stop as soon as they have their own well-deserved state!

Assassination plots make Olmert a bit uncomfortable, but apparently not so uncomfortable that he doesn’t want to give the Palestinians a state, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount.

This past December, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that United States officials were training Fatah "security forces" loyal to Abbas (more here). Could those Fatah "security forces" that plotted to kill Olmert have received any of their training from the United States? I doubt that Secretary Rice will be looking for an answer to that question as she seeks to engineer the kind of "peace" that would bear roughly the same relation to peace as Fatah's "security forces" do to security forces.
