That's a pretty close quote from a report on MSNBC. Much of Sharon's speech sounded like things Bush has said--very clever. Developing, as Drudge says.

JERUSALEM (AP) - Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon on Monday declared a ``war on terror'' and said Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat was directly responsible for the attacks on Israel's citizens.

Sharon said Israel would act with all the means at its disposal. He spoke in a televised address just before a Cabinet meeting that was to decide on further reprisal for a series of suicide attacks and shootings by Palestinian militants that killed 26 people in Israel since Saturday. Earlier Monday, Israeli helicopter gunships fired missiles near Arafat's compound in the Gaza Strip.

Earlier Monday, Israeli helicopter gunships struck a security compound near Arafat's headquarters in Gaza City, and Israeli F16s struck Arafat's offices and a police station in the West Bank city of Jenin.
