I think given all that's happening right now, the most sensible thing to do is postpone the eclipse for a few weeks.
Meantime, Arafat update from
Haaretz Flash, latest at top:
23:31 Palestinian sources: Arafat`s condition very serious, doctors from Tunisia are fighting for his life
23:28 Palestinian officials say Palestinian leaders have been summoned to PA Chairman Arafat`s headquarters
23:26 Palestinian cabinet minister: PA chairman Arafat `very, very sick`
23:08 Palestinian medical source says there are plans to move Arafat to the hospital in Ramallah
And Binnie's in South Waziristan, a familiar sounding place. Financed by UAE & the Saudis, according to this:
Osama getting money from UAE, Saudis
Just wonder if anyone else feels this way: Doesn't it seem a bit curious that Arafat, though he's never been the picture of good health, suddenly is on his deathbed just days before the U.S. election? I wonder if he's been poisoned ... and prepared for martyrdom.
Any thoughts?
