Death comes to the archterrorist? From Reuters:
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Palestinian President Yasser Arafat was declared clinically dead on Thursday in a French hospital, Israeli television said citing French sources.But Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurie denied the report, saying: "I have just spoken to the officials in Paris and they say the situation is still as it was. He is still in the intensive care unit."
Israel's Channel Two television cited unnamed sources in Paris saying that Arafat underwent a brain scan and was found to be "no longer alive."
Arafat's personal hell will be that wherever he is in hell he will be blown to bits by a nearby car bomb. Only to reappear in a cafe just a suicide bomber detonates. Booom! Only to reapper at an intersection in hell and BOOOOM! Blown to bits again.. Only to reappear on a sidewalk just as a car pulls up alongside and KABOOOM! Shredded! Only to reappear - kaboom!.. reappear - kaboom!... forever and ever, Amen.
Israel's Channel Two television cited unnamed sources in Paris saying that Arafat underwent a brain scan and was found to be "no longer alive."
That's inconclusive. They would have had the same results any time in the last forty years, at least.
One wonders what kind of political scrambling is going on behind the scenes. Seems like every day since he flew out of Israel, they've been denying one thing after another.
I will be curious to see what happens when they fly him back to be buried. Will there be calls for even more violence against Israel, or will more sensible people finally step in and take things back to pre-Arafat days, when palestinian unemployment was only 5% and most of them were happy to deal with the Israelis?
Damn you, Crawford! You beat me to that one...
But Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurie denied the report, saying: "I have just spoken to the officials in Paris and they say the situation is still as it was. He is still in the intensive care unit."
Hell yeah, they'll lie about it and stall as long as they can... all the while emptying their banks, getting their wives and kids away, before they announce to the mainstream "palestine" that their hero is dead. Because THEN, all hell's going to break loose. "Palestine" will become "Hamasland."
Israel: now is your chance. Finish the wall, and "if" you are attacked, hit back hard.
I should be dancing for joy, just to return the favour they paid us on 9/11, but the mere mention of the word 'Palestinian' leaves me with a feeling of total boredom.

Qur’an 74:31 “We have appointed nineteen angels to be the wardens of the Hell Fire. We made a stumbling-block for those who disbelieve and We have fixed their number as a trial for unbelievers in order that the people of the Book may arrive with certainty, and that no doubts may be left for the people of the Book, those in whose hearts is a disease. And for those to whom the Scripture Book has been given, and the believers, there should be no doubt. The unbelievers may say, ‘What does the Lord intend by this?’ The Lord will lead astray whomever He pleases, and He will guide whomever He pleases: and none can know the armies of your Lord except He, and this is no other than a warning to mankind.”
This can be broken by Yes it is the Army of the people of the Book who he has chosen to Free [USA] the Iraqi people as it says

Everyone in the world, outside the E.U. bureacracy and the chanceries of countries in Western Europe, knows that Arafat pocketed most of the money that was supplied for the "Palestinian" people. And apparently he kept those keys and codes pretty close to his vest, or chest, or whatever.
So imagine how Erekat and the rest of them have been hovering about over the last few weeks, trying to obtain from him -- tell us, tell us, we need to know -- details as to where all the money was stashed. Of course he owned a lot of real estate at one time in Heliopolis (part of Cairo, where he was born), but probably most of it is in stocks and bonds, and comforting gold bars.
Imagine how eager his loyal aides are, collectively and of course individually -- remember that Riviera penthouse of Zuheir Mohsein? -- so as to keep them living in the style to which, in a small way, they had grown accustomed -- but how much more wonderful to get their hands on all that loot now that the Godfather was out of the way.
But what if he didn't spill the beans? It would be like the Treasure of Sierra Madre.
For those looking for their next Hollywood movie, here goes (and I expect a healthy cut):
Terrorist leader, rebarbative face, disgusting habits, manufactures the "Khuzistanian people" from the Arabs living in the Khuzistan province of Iran. Goes around with hand out, gets billions of dollars in aid. Makes the "Khuzistanian" people The Cause in the Western world. Vanessa Redgrave weeps for the Khuzistanian People. The U.N. spends 1/3 of its allotted time on the crimes committed against the Khuzistanian People.
Flash forward. Rebarbative leader is slowly dying. By now he has accumulated $180 billioon dollars (this is Hollywood -- we have to make it interesting). Oh, we see how some of the money is doled out, to journalists and diplomats (lots of fun here). We see Peter Jennings bewailing the fate of the Khuzistanian people. We see a Hanan-Ashrawi type, explaining how the Khuzistanian people have been plowing their anceint soil from time immemorial (turns out they arrived, pushed out from the Nejd when the Al-Saud were defeating the Jabal Shammar, in 1920). Lots of fake history, fake "Khuzistanian" folk songs, Khuzistanian "handcrafts," the works.
Now The Maximum Leader is dying. And everyone in his retinue knows about the money. And each one, in turn, wants the Dying Leader to tell him where it is -- so he, and only he, can get his hands on it.
Casting? Boris Karloff, alas, is dead, but makeup artists can do wonders. Start with someone who looks sinister to begin with (Christopher Walken?), and work from there. Recycle, perhaps, some of the saloon lowlife in "The Three Amigos."
Or perhaps the "Team America" puppeteers could go into action. Yes, puppets might be even better, and less spent on inflated Hollywood salaries, the more money for the originator of the idea, who needs all he can get.
This script has possibilities. This movie would have legs. All over Europe, Eurabian-sick customers would flock to see it. I won't even talk about the domestic market, videos, DVD, the whole thing.
Goddamit, where is Swifty Lazar when you need him?
kj.. Excellent point!
The Paleostinian Leadership WON'T announce Arafat's demise until they've found the billions of dollars Arafat looted from their treasurey and it's all safely in THEIR bank accounts.. Good point.
To hell with Arafat, that braindead mofo, he's history now. Are the crazed Palestinians going to blame the French and want revenge for them not saving their foolish leader. What a circus, the French nursing the Palestinian, how touching.
If Kerry had of won, how long would I have to wait for my free government health care?
I hope Arafat lived long enough to hear that Bush won - I want that to be his last memory.

Hugh -
Cheech Marin as bad hat Arabfat?
Death becomes Arafat.
I don't know why the French are being so hospitable to the mass murderer anyway. Have they forgotten that the French army barracks in Beirut was blown up the same day as the U.S. Marine barracks?
Maybe he reminds them of French serial killer Gilles de Rais...he had a thing for young boys too.
'mysterious illness', 'dead but not dead'...And this is happening in France? How can the French accept this nonsense. What would be the reactions of the French, Europeans and the world, for that matter, if an American leader, (any American leader) had 'a mysterious disease involving the blood' and 'conflicting reports about his death'? Answer: AIDS rumors and ridicule of the man and the American 'system' on the Front Page of the BBC and everywhere else; and surely at least one Woody Allen joke.
And all I hope for in Arafat's case is a few sensible questions so that we discover the truth about this man, who he is, the wealth he has stolen away, the people he has murdered, the lives he has destroyed, etc., etc.
Is that asking too much?
But many French, Europeans, not only do not care if Arafat is shrouded in these bloody, murderous, mysteries, they are ready to weep for him.
Don't cry for me Eurabia...
Jerusalem Post quoting French official:
The source continued, "In the past three years, Arafat's health was neglected, and this is what brought on this deterioration."
Yes, of course, It's Israel's fault ... as usual.
I was in Japan when the Emperor died. They keep him 'alive' for days, saying he was in "grave condition.' This is the same situation. Arafat is dead but they don't know how to tell the truth and don't know what in the hell they will do to replace him.
Maybe if they place a want ad:
Wanted: Strong, self-promoting Arab dictator-type. Ruthless, duplicitous, self absorbed psychopathic tendencies a must. Sadistic penchant for murder, good with kids. English speaking double-talker a plus. Willing to put in long hour for the Palestinian cause. Personal peccadilloes, taste for little boys okay ..
The rampant grounds for demogoguery are always fertile in the middleast. And sadly, may I say that Arafat was a master at demogogic manipulation of the Palestinian People.
Speaking in Arabic He was always able to whip them into a frenzy of hate against the west and the Zionists at will, which assured his position of power.
The Palestinian liberation Front along with Hamas have wreaked havoc on the Palestinian people . Creating hate where it didnt not have to exist. The hate has dessimated the palestinians economy that use to flourish because of the jobs that where available to them in Israel.
Hate became the Palestinians greatest export under the likes of people like Arafat,Yassin, and Rantisi.
The Palestinians have become the prolificating tool of Iran,and the Saudi Wahaabists among other fundamental Islamists.
Who is waiting in the wings to wreak more havoc in palestine and retain the at greed and power that Arafat so ably had mastered for 40 years.
So, my question is this: is his illness from natural causes, or did he have help?
While natural causes are probable, there do exist a range of slow-acting but very powerful toxins used by the former KGB that sound similiar to the symptoms I have heard reported.
I will be very interested to see who is chosen to replace Arafat among the Palestians, and what effect that may have on hopes for a peace process.
Here is some fun nonsense from the BBC,
"Mr Arafat's long-time doctor Ashraf al-Kurdi said: "He is not clinically dead... but his condition is deteriorating, because there has been no diagnosis, we don't know what's wrong with him."
He is not clinically dead? Then how dead is he? And, he is getting worse because doctors cannot diagnose what is wrong with him? I thought illness is what made people worse. Oh, but the doctors might be able to make him well if they only knew what was wrong with him...But, if they are having trouble diagnosing death, then how would they be able to diagnose this 'mysterious illness', that a PA spokeswoman said a few days ago would take them 'a few days' to diagnose, and said yesterday that is would take 'a day'?
"We don't know what's wrong with him..."
The understatement of the year, at the very least...
Some interesting posts today..
One.. That Arafat was poisoned. Quite possibly true.
Two.. That he had aids. Indeed plausible.
Three.. The 'want ad' posted above for someone to fill Arafat's position as leader of the PLO was especially funny and very much on point.
Sounds as if the world is finally rid of Arafat - good riddance to bad rubbish. Now the real sickening part begins - many of the world “leaders” and media wailing about demise of the poor glorious fellow who fought all his life for his people - (aauugh) They should gather all as one and present the true facts.
Islamonline is reporting that Arafat was poisoned before being hospitalized. Hence, he will be "martyred".
So, my question is this: is his illness from natural causes, or did he have help?

We must remember before he went to France all the doctors who were from other arab country's who went to see him and remember those first pictures and the Pali who would not let him kiss his hand? Remember they didn't take him to a normal hospital but a military hospital?
could they have given him his last kill all non-mulsums n the West by let's say a shot of Small pox? would take a few days befor he would becom infectous???

"Palestinian President Yasser Arafat was declared clinically dead on Thursday in a French hospital, Israeli television said citing French sources."
Good riddance! When I was a kid Arafat was considered a scumbag thug. I still consider him to be one.
O.T. I just came home from Amsterdam a couple of weeks ago and I just want to say how sorry I am about Theo van Gogh. If the people of the Netherlands want to save themselves and their culture, they had better start now! Do whatever you need to do to convince these mad dogs to leave your nation and your continent.
"Your grandchildren will be fans of Theo van Gogh."
Worst wishes to a sawed off little demon terror monger whose time has come to be with Beelzebub....So long, shaky lipped lizard....
For those of you who don't know who Yasser Arafat's uncle was:
http://medienkritik.typepad.com/blog/2004/04/fuehrers_birthd.html
What a marvelous family!
More on Arafat's uncle and Palestinian sentiments towards the Jews:
According to documentation from the Nuremberg and Eichmann trials, the Nazi Germany SS helped finance al-Husseini's efforts in the 1936-39 revolt in Palestine. Adolf Eichmann actually visited Palestine and met with al-Husseini at that time and subsequently maintained regular contact with him later in Berlin.
In 1940, al-Husseini requested the Axis powers to acknowledge the Arab right:
"... to settle the question of Jewish elements in Palestine and other Arab countries in accordance with the national and racial interests of the Arabs and along the lines similar to those used to solve the Jewish question in Germany and Italy."
While in Baghdad, Syria al-Husseini aided the pro-Nazi revolt of 1941. He then spent the rest of World War II as Hitler's special guest in Berlin, advocating the extermination of Jews in radio broadcasts back to the Middle East and recruiting Balkan Muslims for infamous SS "mountain divisions" that tried to wipe out Jewish communities throughout the region.
At the Nuremberg Trials, Eichmann's deputy Dieter Wisliceny (subsequently executed as a war criminal) testified:
"The Mufti was one of the initiators of the systematic extermination of European Jewry and had been a collaborator and adviser of Eichmann and Himmler in the execution of this plan. ... He was one of Eichmann's best friends and had constantly incited him to accelerate the extermination measures. I heard him say, accompanied by Eichmann, he had visited incognito the gas chamber of Auschwitz."
For goodness sake go to the BBC have you say section and read the moonbat comments on Arafat!
It is truly amazing!
And a shining example of how propaganda can turn one of the vilest criminal individuals in history in a hero for whom theor will now be candlelit processions IN THE STREETS OF THE WEST attended by thousands !!
STALIN WAS RIGHT
the more i oppress my people the more they will love me for it!
I don't know if any other UK bloggers have been watching channel 4 news as I just have, if they did can I just extend my sympathy to them as I know how unpleasant throwing-up can be, I've just done it!
There are no depths to which these dhimmis will not sink, let's accept this as a sad but scientifically proven fact. What finally brought the bile rushing up my throat was the comments by the truly, truly nauseating, gutless, spineless, testicle-less excuse for a man, jon snow, slobbering how the "palestinians" were an exceptionally talented and capable people.
Sweet jesus christ, I have gone through the looking glass somehow, I am no longer in the world of reality I was born into.
Talented at murdering children?, capable of no intelligent thought? Someone somewhere drop the bomb, please, let's get this over with now, even if only the cockroaches survive, they have more right to inherit the earth than the likes of jon snow.
Well, Saddam is out of work, and it looks like the Palestinians will need a new leader. Let's see, what kind of qualifications do we need?
Ruthless? Check.
Meglomaniac? Check.
Hates Jews? Check.
Does not care a whit about his own people? Check.
Popular in Europe? Check.
Has many friends at the UN? Check.
Has a talent for making aid money disappear? Check.
I think Saddam would be ideal. What do people say about people getting the leadership they deserve? I cannot think of ANYONE who deserves Saddam more than the Palis!
I just read this off the Jerusalem Post:
Earlier Thursday evening, French media outlets Proche Orient Info, a newspaper that covers the Middle East, and Radio Monte-Carlo reported that Yasser Arafat was taken off a life support machine by his doctors on Thursday evening at about 5:30 p.m.
At a press conference the spokesperson for the Percy Military Hospital held at 6:30 p.m. said Arafat was not dead, but did not give his condition.
"Mr. Arafat is not dead," Christian Estripeau told a news conference in a brief statement that lasted three minutes.

Here's an article on Arafat's bank accounts, et al:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/printFriendly/0,,1-524-1337592,00.html
Mike posts that perhaps Saddam is the best qualified leader for the Paleostinians.
I agree!
We pass the mantle of PLO Leadership to Saddam with the understanding that NO suicide bombings of any kind are permitted whatsoever under any circumstances and he's free.
He's totally ruthless and they all understand that. Absolutely NOTHING happens in his country without his approval. Anybody gets out of line.. they're dead and so is their entire family.. and their friends go into hiding out of sheer terror.
Sure.. Saddam will turn the place into a police state. But guaranteed.. If Saddam gave the order, nobody and I mean NOBODY will come anywhere near a suicide bomb belt much less talk about it with even their closest friends.
From Haaretz:
Militant groups call for collective leadership
Two militant Palestinian factions called on Thursday for a "collective leadership" that would include Islamist factions to fill any vacuum left by Yasser Arafat.
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/497820.html
May Yasser Arafat burn in HELL! and be closely followed by all his sympathizers!
I wonder if Mossad got him? I can hope....

What Would Patton Say About the Present War?
Victor Davis Hanson
Author, Between War and Peace: Lessons from Afghanistan to Iraq
The following is adapted from a lecture delivered on July 23, 2004, on board the MV Heidelberg during a Hillsdale College cruise on the Rhine and Moselle rivers.
What can we imagine George Patton might say about the present war? Lots. Based on what he himself said and wrote, his record in the field, and what scholars have written about him, I think we have some reasonable ideas. I'll begin with Patton's strategic thinking, then follow with suppositions about tactical and operational doctrine.
Patton was not merely a great tactician, as Eisenhower seemed to think in deprecating his larger advice about the nature and purpose of World War II. Indeed, he understood far more about strategy and global politics than either Eisenhower or Bradley. A fine illustration of his superior insight arose over disagreement regarding the "endgame" in Europe: When the so-called Big Four - Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin and Chiang Kai-shek - apparently decided in late 1944 and early 1945 that the Allied demarcation line was to be at the Elbe River rather than Berlin or the Polish border, news quickly leaked out. As Patton was barreling through southern Germany, he sensed quickly that the German armies in April and May were preferring to surrender to Allied troops and thus fleeing toward the Western front. Would an Allied capture of Berlin ahead of Russian troops really become Eisenhower's and Bradley's predicted bloodbath if Germans were assured that the city would end up in the American sphere of postbellum influence?

U.S. Senator Zell Miller, D-GA
Floor Statement on the Situation at Abu Ghraib prison
Remarks as Delivered on the Senate Floor
Mr. President, here we go again, here we go again.
Rushing to give aid and comfort to the enemy.
Pushing and pulling and shoving and leaping over one another to assign blame and point the finger at America the Terrible.
Lining up in long lines at the microphones to offer apologies to those poor, pitiful Iraqi prisoners.
Of course, I do not condone all the things that went on in that prison, but I for one, Mr. President, refuse to join in this national Act of Contrition over it.
Those who are wringing their hands and shouting so loudly for “heads to roll” over this seem to have conveniently overlooked the fact that someone’s head HAS rolled - that of another innocent American brutally murdered by terrorists.
Why is it? Why is it that there’s more indignation over a photo of a prisoner with underwear on his head than over the video of a young American with no head at all?
Why is it that some in this country still don’t get that we are at war? A war against terrorists who are plotting to kill us every day. Terrorists who will murder Americans at any time any place any chance they get.
And yet here we are, America on its knees, in front of our enemy, begging for their forgiveness over the mistreatment of prisoners.
Showing the enemy and the world once again how easily America can get sidetracked and how easily America can turn against it self.
Yes, some of our soldiers went too far with their interrogation tactics and clearly were not properly trained to handle such duty.
But the way to deal with this is with swift and sure punishment, and immediate and better training.
There also needs to be more careful screening of who it is we put in these kinds of sensitive situations.
And no one wants to hear this, Mr. President and I’m reluctant to say it. But there should also be some serious questioning of having male and female soldiers serving side by side in these kinds of military missions.
But instead, I worry that the HWA - the Hand-Wringers of America - will add to their membership and continue to bash our country ad nauseam. And in doing so, hand over more innocent Americans to the enemy on a silver platter.
So I stand with Senator Inhofe of Oklahoma, who stated that he’s “more outraged by the outrage” than by the treatment of those prisoners.
More outraged by the outrage. It’s a good way of putting it. That’s exactly how this Senator from Georgia feels.
Thank you Mr. President. I yield the floor.
Malaysia Arrests Key Figure in Nuclear Trafficking
NewsMax.com Wires
Friday, May 28, 2004
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – A Sri Lankan businessman accused of brokering black market deals for nuclear technology was arrested Friday in Malaysia, government officials said.
Buhary Syed Abu Tahir, who allegedly worked with disgraced Pakistani scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan to sell nuclear secrets to rogue states, was detained for threatening Malaysia's national security, officials told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
Tahir is the most senior known member of Khan's network to have been arrested since details about its operations to sell nuclear know-how and equipment to Libya, Iran and North Korea came to light earlier this year.
Khan was pardoned by Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf after admitting wrongdoing and pleading for clemency.
In a speech in February alleging details of Khan's proliferation activities, President Bush named Tahir as "the network's chief financial officer and money launderer."
Tahir was arrested Friday on an order signed by Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi under security laws that allow for indefinite detention without trial, and was immediately sent to a prison camp in northern Malaysia, the officials said.

Now this Nation that I love / has fallen under attack / a mighty sucker punch came flyn’ in / from somewhere in the back / soon as we could see clearly / through our big black eye / man we lit up your world / like the Fourth of July !! ..Hey Uncle Sam put your name / at the top of her list / and the Statue of liberty / Started Shakin’ her fist / and the Eagle will Fly / and there’s gonna be Hell / When you hear Mother FREEDOM / start ringin’ her bell / and it’ll feel like the Whole World / is raining down on you / brought to you Courtesy / of the Red White and Blue!!... OH Justice will be served / and the Battle will Rage/ this Big Dog will Fight / When you Rattle his cage / and you’ll be SORRY that you MESSED with / the U.S.of A. / cause we’ll put a BOOT IN YOUR ASS / COURTESY OF THE RED WHITE AND BLUE
The Democrats don’t get it The American People Voted in President Bush and Voted in more Repbs in the house and the senate you just don’t get it ONE MORE TIME YOU LOST HUGE BECAUSE YOU DON’T GET IT!!!
I'll bet a dollar to a dime that Arafat's personal physicians majored in "Islamic Studies" in their undergraduate programs in Saudi "universities". They also may never have seen death by natural causes.
Looks like he finally got his 70 raisins.
Anybody recall the incident a some years years that [I think it was] a Bulgarian Diplomat got sick and as I recall the Doctors couldnt find a cause. Wasn't until he died and they did an autopsy that it was discovered that he had a b.b. sized metal ball imbedded in his leg. When it was removed and examined it was found to have been hollowed out and it tested positive for Ricin. As I recall the article it was a "hit" on the guy by the Romanian secret police with the help of the KGB who developed the weapon which was an umbrella. Sorry but it's been so long since I read about it I cannot remember too many of the details other than Ricin, when concocted properly is extremely deadly in minute amounts and death does not occur immediatly but is spread over a period of time, several days or weeks. Perhaps someone was able to spike old Arafatties punch with a little Ricin or something equivalent.

Sounds Like Kofi Anan would fit this bill
I suppose until they locate the way to get their hands on Arafat's bank accounts and find a way to appoint his successor, that weekend at Bernie's is going to get awfully long.
Oh, and please no - let there not be any involvement of any sort by the Mossad attached to his death. Personally, I hope he died from complications of AIDS. That would mean his own behaviour brought on his death.
