Bush to Propose Palestinian State Soon
(Washington Post) - President Bush plans to propose the establishment of a Palestinian state with provisional boundaries, most likely in September, with negotiations over permanent borders to be completed within three years, U.S. and diplomatic sources said. The Jerusalem bus attack not only delayed Bush's speech, but also reopened discussions within the administration over whether the president should be "rewarding" the Palestinians with a state as long as the bombings continue.
