...closely involved with the P.A. in implementing security measures, thus ensuring for the United States an imperial outpost in the West Bank and Gaza at the expense of any real Palestinian sovereignty. Finally, the Oslo Accords and the Wye Agreement virtually ensure that refugees, Palestinians living in Israeli-occupied Arab East Jerusalem and Palestinians living inside the Jewish state will remain dispossessed...

As the Pentagon refined its strategy, Defense Secretary William Cohen and National Security Adviser Samuel Berger hit the road to sell the plan to Arab and European leaders. While they got a frosty public response, officials say the private message was a tacit green light.
