Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage: U.S. opposes assassination or exile of Yasser Arafat

I think State knows that Arafat will be a dead man walking after the next horrific terrorist attack. It could be any day, week or month now.

Armitage knows Yassir is going to get an Israeli missile up the kazoo just like that cleric. His statement today gives the U.S. plausible deniability when the Palis have to brown-bag what's left of their leader.

Well, Dickie-Boy, you sure as Hell aren't speaking for me. Mr. Aerofart should have been killed years ago. Untold lives have been taken in his name. Check this:

The Palis are a bunch of wackos with a 14th Century mentality and 20th Century toys. Kill 'em.

And that goes double for the a$$hole$ that committed the despicable atrocities this week in Fallujah.

"Responding to "Dicks" statement............The majority of people in the US (yeah I took a poll at breakfast this AM) support Yessir U'rFat's assassination before or after his exile."

Indeed! I can take much the same poll at home, anywhere at work, or within my personal sphere of influence on the Internet and receive the same response, most of the time in terms that, if I posted them here, would get the posting pulled—or me, banned.

If "We The People" are represented in the policies of the US Government, there seems to be a grievous communications breakdown somewhere.

Excuse me Mr Deputy SoS, but IMHO the only good terrorist is a dead terrorist. Mr Arafat is long overdue in meeting his maker (and his 67 virgins)..............

Israel tried to get rid of him twice in the last 3 years. When they surrounded his HQ, the US ordered Israel to pull back. Also, Israel placed troops overlooking Arafat's HQ in a bid to take him out, but the US told Israel to back off.

Perhaps it's time for an "accident"!! Seriously tho, this should have been done anytime in the last two decades. He only gets worse. Perhaps his Parkinson's Disease will do him in. It angers me that other Countries and those corrupt United Nothings keep telling Isreal that she MUST NOT defend herself against daily attacks. These attacks are against innocent Isreali citizens including women and children. I wish Isreal would level just ONE ballbusting, all out attack on Ramallah and either asassinate Arafat OR force him into exile. I prefer the first quite frankly. This is an UNsolvable situation because these Arabs (there is NO such thing as a Palestinian) are not really after land, they want to annihilate Isreal PERIOD.!!

[Canadian Outrage]

Yeah, how about Richard Armitage going to Isreal and taking the city buses day after day for awhile.!! Perhaps he should be forced to witness body parts flying all around him as the blood of innocent Isreali's is shed. What hypocrisy our nations exhibit. My opinion - How dare they tell Isreal that they cannot deal with terror master?

[yonif]

As long as Arafat and his Palestinian Authority terrorist regime remain in place, it won't matter how many terror organizations the IDF destroys. The fact is, new ones will have an easy time propping up. The US must allow Israel to take out the PA and Arafat, who serve as the Taliban in that area.

Listen State Department: The Road Map to peace will not work when one side in the negotiations is led by terrorists. ARAFAT does not want a peaceful settlement between the Israelis and the Palestinians he wants all Israelis dead. He cannot be trusted in any peace negotiation.
