LOL!! Isn't this getting tiring?

Trust me, he's been decomposing for the past few days, on life support.

Why did he cry, did he just figure out he wasn't going to get any of the several billion Arafat stoled when he dies?

Arafat: "Don't cry for me, Palestinians. The truth is I'll never leave you. All through my wild days, my mad existance, I kept my promise (to maim, pilliage, & kill)! Don't keep your distance, I KEPT MY PROMISE!!!"

Tugs at your little heart strings, doesn't it?

I agree; they're trying to jump-start him long enough to get all those secret Swiss bank account numbers out of him.

He looks like he's been decomposing for years. I liked the headline, "Arafat declared brain dead." Was that news to people? He's been brain dead since 1968!

Arafat is a murdering Egyptian that has sent people time and time again to kill innocent men, women, pregnant women, children and infants. By blowing them up or shooting them. Shooting little kids!

Arafat should have been wacked years ago.

Oh, by the way, the Saudis can go straight to hell too. They are just as bad as Arafat. Worse actually.

It's sickening that these people kill in the name of their god while they are the most godless people on the planet.

I think the Pali leaders are getting a
bit suspect of his condition. Judging
from the news, an army of them have gone
to france! To see for themselves just
how bad arafat is.

I cried for Arafat too....when I found out for the 5th time that he wasn't dead.

What the hell is he waiting for? Satan is fit to be tied I'm sure.
