"A target rich environment was allowed to pass"

Exactly as I thought while watching this morning. As the news lady on Fox mentioned, the crowd could go from "calm to chaotic" in mere seconds. Automatic weapon fire did absolutely nothing to control these savages. (Could you imagine weapon fire during an unruly gathering here in the states?) It is still hard to believe that this didn't get real nasty. As for "Crowd Management 101", this deserves the "6-P Award"...Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance!

How many of these would it have taken to "quite" the Arafat funerally?

Substitute the palm trees for the Islamic pigs that were shown on TV this morning.
