Powell: Road Map Paused
(State Department) - Secretary of State Powell told European journalists Tuesday: "Before we can get the road map moving again and place demands on Israel for it to meet its obligations - and it's met some of its obligations, but there are many more things for Israel to do - we have to make sure that we are taking action against terrorists." "We should not say the road map is dead. It's there. We just had a pause. We had to stop when Abu Mazen resigned. And now I hope that Prime Minister Qurei and the Palestinian cabinet will take action against terrorists. And if they do that...they will find the United States, President Bush and the Quartet members and many other people standing by waiting to help them."
