The Palis MUST invite Hillary to the funeral... she would be the "American" most able to console Mrs. Arafat.

Thank you President Bush for endorsing the confinement of Arafat to that hell hole where he's been festering for the past years.

Thank you President Bush for supporting Israel and Sharon.

Arafat is drooling and non compos mentis, per usual.

>Palestinian officials: Arafat era is over ...The sources told CNN's Christiane Amanpour that Arafat, 75, is not in complete control of his mental faculties and cannot make important decisions or communicate coherently


Wow! My could tell this just from watching him yesterday. She said last night she could tell that he had dementia. They have been trying to cover it up all this time. She pointed out if you watched the video of him boarding the plance closely his handlers had both of his arms held very tightly. He is smiling and leerig slightly, at some point he raises his handlers arm to his mouth and his hanler jerks it back down.

Arafat was trying to bite the man's hand...My grandmother would try the same thing in the late stages of Alzheimer's. My mom could tell he had dementia just from that little clip. Then she asked us, "When was the last time you heard him speak?"

Is Leukemia very, very, very, very, very, painful?

They were lying. He has dementia, it's obvious if you have ever taken care of an elderly person with demention/Alzheimers.

It just cracks me up that while the terrorists have worked so hard to destroy the western way of life, they are losing control of their own.

Reference the Taliban destruction, free elections in Afghanistan, the removal of Saddam Hussein, pending elections in Iraq, some cooperation from Pakistan, bombings in Saudi Arabia. The list goes on and on.

It looks like they have thrown their own way of thinking into chaos. I love it!

I'm sure JF'nK plans to attend his funeral. Probably will address the crowd to remind them that he's part Palestinian (or was that Irish or Jewish or Catholic????) and plans to bring in more allies to help resolve their conflict.

Hopefully not. I hope he lingers painfully.

Time for the IDF to start assassinating his would-be successors, making it appear that they are infighting and raising their internal paranoia.

I think along the same lines - let the Palestinian civil war begin!

Next, the Islamic civil war...

More popcorn, and faster, please.

The era of Yasser Arafat will not be over, until the policies he adopted fifty-six years ago are overturned, and a plan of peaceful co-exixtance with Israel is implemented.

No matter what Palestinian leaders, al Jazeera, E.U. leaders, European national leaders, the United Nations, our leftist sell-out political leaders and our MSM plays it, until a plan for peace is adopted and implemented by the leaders of the Palestinians, the era of Arafat will live on.

Don't let an army of socialist hack airhead newsreaders and print media propagandists convince you otherwise.

Let's all pray that he hangs on for a couple of months, long enough to have the majority of the Palestinians forget he ever lived. We don't need an emotional funeral at this time. He should hang on in a state of dementia for months until the struggle for new leadership is over, so when he dies, he is buried in an unmarked grave somewhere in Paris.
