Bush Applauds Arafat's 'New Attitude'
by Scott Ott
(2004-11-12) -- U.S. President George Bush today praised Palestinian
leader Yassir Arafat for "assuming a new attitude," according to a
White House spokesman.
"The president believes that Chairman Arafat's new attitude is one
that bodes well for peace in the Middle East," said spokesman Scott
McClellan. "Arafat's rhetoric has cooled in recent days."
U.S. negotiators reportedly expect the Palestinian leader to put up
less resistance to reasonable proposals, thanks to "a new posture that
is more grounded, stable, consistent."
"Chairman Arafat seems to be taking an in-depth look at the land he
has fought to defend," Mr. McClellan said, "and yet he's looking up to
a promising future, where the grass is greener. President Bush has
long believed that it's your attitude that determines your altitude,
and Mr. Arafat has become a great illustration of that."
