NABLUS, West Bank -- Thousands of Palestinians celebrated Tuesday's terror attacks in the United States, chanting "God is Great" and distributing candy to passers-by, even as their leader, Yasser Arafat, said he was horrified.
The U.S. government has become increasingly unpopular in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the past year of Israeli-Palestinian fighting, with many Palestinians accusing Washington of siding with Israel.
In the West Bank town of Nablus, about 3,000 people poured into the street shortly after the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and government targets in Washington.
Demonstrators distributed candy in a traditional gesture of celebration. Several Palestinian gunmen shot in the air, while other marchers carried Palestinian flags. Nawal Abdel Fatah, 48, wearing a long, black dress, threw sweets in the air, saying she was happy because "America is the head of the snake, America always stands by Israel in its war against us."
Her daughter Maysoon, 22, said she hoped the next attack would be launched against Tel Aviv.
In traditionally Arab east Jerusalem, there was a smaller gathering of about two dozen people, many of them young children led in chants by adults. Some drivers passing the scene honked their horns and flashed victory signs from their windows.

Arafat and his top advisers huddled at his seaside office in Gaza City, watching the events unfold on television. Arafat later emerged to speak to reporters.
"We are completely shocked. It's unbelievable," he said. "We completely condemn this very dangerous attack, and I convey my condolences to the American people, to the American president and to the American administration, not only in my name but on behalf of the Palestinian people."
In the West Bank, meanwhile, the leader the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine denied his group was involved in the attacks.
Qais Abdel Rahim was reacting to reports that two Arab satellite stations in the Gulf had received anonymous claims of responsibility on behalf of the DFLP, a radical PLO faction. Abdel Rahim said his group condemned the attacks.

I believe the Arafat apology is scheduled to take place soon after CNN and Eason Jordan (sp?) apologize for maintaining access to Saddam Hussein by concealing information about Iraq's torture chambers and rape rooms.
Of course both those apologies will not occur before Ted Kennedy's apologizes for leaving Mary Jo Kopechne to drown while he went for legal help nor will they occur before Bill Clinton apologizes for using the Oval Office as a strip club.

It is a complete waste of time to expect anything else. Remember: These were Infidels and the "descendants of apes and pigs" (not to mention a few of the Islamic persuasion) that were sent to...well, you know the rest.
Stop expecting something that will never happen.No apology, let alone anything to acknowledge anything wrong, will ever be forthcoming.

Your sources link to "whatreallyhappened.com" In the FAQ section, the following is stated,
"QUESTION: Someone named "Mike Rivero" is posting to my favorite forum. Is that you?
No. This web site takes all my time and I have not posted to any other forums since I was banned from Free Republic. Certain individuals out to cause trouble will often join forums using the names of people they wish to smear. "
Perhaps you would like to slink back to your mosque to think of more vile lies.

I'm still waiting. I've been waiting for years. Not only was there no "outrage" or "anger" shown by the Arabs, nor apology, but they celebrated and danced all over the world.

No apology would ever be enough for that day of infamy.

This just goes to show you that no matter how much "human rights" groups and those on the left try to sell us the idea that Palestinians are human beings and deserve a homeland the photos prove otherwise.
