France's Chirac hails Arafat as man of courage
PARIS (Reuters) - French President Jacques Chirac, confirming Yasser Arafat's death, has hailed the Palestinian leader as a man of courage and conviction who embodied the Palestinian struggle for a state. "It is with emotion that I have just learnt of the death of President Yasser Arafat, the first elected president of the Palestinian Authority," Chirac said in a written statement on Thursday. "I offer my very sincere condolences to his family and to people close to him." Chirac urged the international community to persevere with efforts to ensure an international peace plan known as the road map is put into effect in the Middle East. |

He's doing this obligatory salutation for fire insurance - hoping not to be attacked by Allah's faithful in the coming months.

Courage? In 1972 did it take courage to slaughter 12 unarmed Israeli athletes? How big a man does it take to shoot an old man (Leon Klinghoffer) in a wheelchair and push him off the side of a boat? Bombing a pizza parlor? Strapping bombs to teenage girls to kill other teenage girls?
I hope he is in the seventh circle of Hell, waist deep in the molten lava with the Harpies gouging at his eyes for all eternity.

Chirac gave millions of dollars to Arafat, so he considers him a good friend. Chirac is a mental dwarf.
To: Time is now
I think they'll have created a special level of hell just for this terrorist.

Chirac is such a prostitute.

The French are not afraid of the Germans, that is why they are planting trees on both sides of every road in France so that when the Nazis invade again, they will have plenty of shade.

How can any moral human being praise a terrorist such as Arafat? Not only has he murdered innocent women and children, but his actions have caused nothing but death and poverty for the PLO. He is no better than Saddam, Hitler, or Stalin. It looks as if the Vichy government is back in power.
To: Happy2BMe
Chirac doesn't have courage, he doesn't know courage, he doesn't want courage. Modern French culture despises courage. It only values pandering. And by that measure, Chirac is a great French leader.

The French deserve a drooling twit such as Chirac.
To: Happy2BMe
CIA files reveal that Arafat ripped babies from their mother's wombs, killing both mother and child.
The man was a vicious murderer and terrorist. Chirac is little better.
