Obama's foreign policy advisers continue to insist that Israel has a Palestinian peace partner. Democratic activists continue to mock McCain for suggesting that Sunnis and Shiites sometimes cooperate on terrorism. This is getting retarded:

Two Palestinians from Nablus who worked illegally at a restaurant in Ramat Gan have been arrested for allegedly planning to poison the food they served, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) announced on Thursday. The two 21-year-olds - Aham Rial and Anas Salum- confessed during their interrogations to plotting to poison food at the Grill Express restaurant located near the Diamond Exchange in Ramat Gan. The plan was to use a white, odorless and tasteless poison which they were to receive from their Al Aksa Martyrs' Brigades handlers in Nablus. The two said that they were recruited into Fatah's Al Aksa Martyrs' Brigades in Nablus - which the Shin Bet said was financed by Hizbullah - after they were already working at the restaurant. The two asked their handlers in Nablus to provide them with an odorless and tasteless poison that would go into effect only four hours after digested. In addition to plotting the poison attack, the two were also asked by the Nablus infrastructure to look into the possibility of assisting them infiltrating a suicide bomber into Israel.... Security officials said that the Fatah terror infrastructure in Nablus was still working to perpetrate attacks against Israel.

The reality-based community indeed. As if Iran doesn't fund and train Sunni terrorists in Iraq and Gaza and Syria. No seriously - tell us again about how Sunnis and Shiites hate each other too much to cooperate. Or about how Israeli concessions can leverage Fatah moderation against Hamas intransigence. Lets hear that story.
