Using his new-found fame as the Mideast peacemaker, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak used his White House forum on Tuesday to espouse President Barak Obama’s vision for a comprehensive regional Mideast peace, happily continuing in his new role as a major American ally, the moderate among Arab nations.

Realizing his direct channel to the White House has never been better, Mr. Mubarak explained the need for Israel to release convicted master terrorist, Fatah Tanzim leader Marwan Barghouti, who is currently serving five life sentences for his heinous acts of terror.

Mubarak is joined by members of Israel’s left-wing community, as well as a number of prominent politicians, who feel Barghouti, now labeled a moderate, is too popular and has recently been elected as the leader of Fatah in the Fatah Assembly in PA-occupied Beit Lechem, and therefore, he must be released in the interest of moving ahead on the diplomatic front in talks between Israel and the PA (Palestinian Authority).
