"If I recall the transcript correctly, he said something along the lines of "As we enter the fourth year...","

My mistake...I read that in someone's post and for some reason had 2001 stuck in my head. I read Al Jeezera's version which said "even though we are in the fourth year." Either way, my mistake...

I had forgotten the mention of Musharraf dying within a month of Arafat. Thanks for the reminder.

I have some concerns about an attack today (11/5/04). I think Arafat's death may be announced today and the specter of the tape hangs ominously in the background.
