Hey, what do you think the odds are that PA police officers made use of some of that $410 million in new aid that Bush gave the PA to murder an Israeli civilian:

Palestinian policemen were behind the shooting attack last week which killed Ido Zoldan, a 29-year-old father of two from the settlement of Shavei Shomron, the IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) revealed Sunday night. Zoldan was killed last Monday night - the day before the Annapolis summit began - when shots were fired at his car as he drove past the Palestinian village of al-Punduk. The three members of the cell were Palestinian policemen and members of the Palestinian National Security Force, in which Israel and the United States have been investing as part of the international effort to strengthen Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and his Fatah government. Defense officials said the weapon used in the attack had not been supplied to the Palestinians by Israel since it did not belong to the official Palestinian security forces. The officials said, however, that the IDF expected the political echelon to rethink its policy of strengthening Abbas in light of the fact that his policemen were involved in terrorism.

Yeah, good luck with that. If the dozens of Fatah police officers who defected to Al Qaeda didn't cause Olmert to rethink his policies, a few "rogue" PA officers certainly aren't going to do the trick. And even if Olmert tried to scale down the suicidal and obviously futile pro-Abbas policy, the Bush administration would force him to immediately ramp up his support. After all, there's a legacy at stake.
