...combat terrorist attacks. The White House dismissed Dole's threat as campaign rhetoric, and experts say it would be ineffective. "That would be counterproductive," Fisher says. "Arafat is very important in the equation. He holds a lot if influence over a large percentage of Palestinians. Israel can't afford to fight Hamas alone."SALT LAKE CITY: Congresswoman Enid Greene Waldholtz, a star GOP freshman accused of mishandling her campaign finances, announced Tuesday that she will not seek re-election to Congress this year.
