Yasser Arafat's death closed one chapter in Mideast history but opened a new book the mystery of what killed him.Arafat was buried without the autopsy demanded by his longtime doctor while his French doctors are barred from even hinting about the cause of death.

But his health took a sharp downturn Oct. 12 when, according to aides, he caught a cold which developed into nausea.

Early in Arafat's illness, former White House speechwriter David Frum suggested Arafat was being treated in France, rather than an Arab country, because that would ensure his AIDS would remain a secret.
Homosexuality and bisexuality are regarded as sins, if not crimes, in the Arab and Muslim world. "We know he has a blood disease that is depressing his immune system. We know that he has suddenly dropped considerable weight possibly as much as one-third of all his body weight," Frum wrote on National Review Online.
"We know that he is suffering intermittent mental dysfunction. What does that sound like?" Frum, who coined the phrase "Axis of Evil" for President Bush in 2002, cited a report from a Romanian intelligence officer who claimed Arafat was caught on surveillance tapes in the 1970s having sex with a male bodyguard.

But Palestinian Foreign Minister Nabil Shaath said poison had been ruled out.
He said the French doctors "by and large favor the explanation" that Arafat's death was due to his age and being "incarcerated in a very small office" in Ramallah.
The Israeli paper Yediot Ahronoth reported that the cause of death won't remain secret for long because bone marrow and blood samples have been sent to U.S. and European clinics for tests whose results will be known in a month.

That would be too rich!
Finding out that Yassir the Terrorist was a closet butt-bandit would truly be poetic justice!
...and blame his death on the Jews.
They get a two-fer.
"Arafat was buried without the autopsy demanded by his longtime doctor while his French doctors are barred from even hinting about the cause of death."
How are they "barred?"
The French: It's Israel's fault.
Okay, now I need a Brillo pad with which to scratch out my mind's eye, thank you very much. : )

Oh happy day!
MAN is that a scary picture! Thank God Michael Moore isn't in it or I'd be clutching my chest and telling 'lizabeth I'm coming to join her!
When people go to this much trouble to conceal the cause of death, you can safely assume the worst.
Look at the joy in their faces from being in the presense of pure evil!
We Will always refer to Arafat - fondly - as: "The Turd Burgler".
Or "Butt Monkey, Ass Goblin, Meat Grinder, etc, take your pick.
If you have never been to the middle east men hold hands while they walk and kiss when they part ways.They are all fudge packers.
Lying Palestinian scum have isolated the cause of the death of Arafat: He was poisoned by the Mossad. I'm sure the same people tagged the Mossad for Sept. 11.
I personally prefer "butt-bandit" or "rump-ranger", myself.
Although, the oldie-but-goodie "flaming faggot" works as well.
From what I read recently, his wife (Suha) had absolute control over any and all information released and who could visit her dying husband.
I can't find one thing about this rat fink that deserves a single second of MY attention, let alone air time. I literally drank a toast when he died, because in the September of '72, when I was seven years old, I learned what a "terrorist" was and I learned its name (I refuse to dignify Fishface with a gender pronoun). When I was 11, I watched as heroic Isreali commandos rescued the hostages at Entebbe and gave their deserving captors a celestial dirt nap and I was walking on air for the rest of the week while everyone around me wondered what the @#$! I was so happy about. This week, the event I've been waiting thirty-two years to see has finally come to pass, and hallelujah for that.
I dont think they allow you to say faggot on this board. he was gay and really liked little boys but to say he was a faggot,now that is just over the line.Maybe a Querr or a girlyboy but not a FAGGOT.Those lips didnt quiver for nothing.
Queer bait, Fruit fly, fudge-packer.....
I thought "faggot" was kinda tame. LOL!
