It is considered bad form to speak ill of the dead, but I will make an exception for Yassar Arafat, the pathetic embodiment of all that went wrong in the Third World after the demise of the European empires.

This article is on the editorial page of the Rapid City Journal Today. Ought to be on the front page of every newspaper in every hick town in the world.

The truth about Yassar, but then who is really interested in the truth?

Dems wanna recount..They say he aint really dead

[wita]

Not only dead but buried, do we need to exhume for proof?

Dems wanna recount..They say he aint really dead.

Possibly, but he's certainly in stable condition at this point.

Define "getting away with it".

Hey, I only posted the article, I didn't write it. Hit the link and read, it's a good one.

It's true. He was not a nice person, to say the least. He had one objective in life, several actually, but the primary one was to kill Jews and put Israel out of business. He was also dedicated to never letting peace occur between Israel and Palestine because that would have been his end, both politically and economically (from the loads of monies flowing to him from Arab dictators).

It was sad to watch the free world, especially the U.S. and Israeli leaders, MAKE COMPLETE FOOLS OF THEMSELVES TIME AFTER TIME...DECADE AFTER DECADE... pandering to this murderous terrorist, give him money which he readily took, each thinking they were going to go down in history as the leader that made peace between Arafat and Israel.

A true embodiment of the LIVING LIE as long as Arafat was alive....as history now notes it.

Excellent! Bravo!

Somewhere in the 8th circle of Hell we find wonderful Arafat scorched in the raging fires and getting his eyes poked out each day for all eternity...

Sad but true, and to see the western world contribute to his financial well being, and that of his organization is nothing less than fueling the flames that will eventually consume us if we don't get a handle on the financials. The axiom "Follow the money" is more than just a statement, and I would add, go after the money is even more important as a means of shutting these terrorist down, and once the money is gone kill what's left over.

The European nations still haven't gotten over the fact that they are irrelevant. It appears somewhat incredulous that they so unabashedly support a guy (Arafat) whose basic goal in life was to wipe out the nation of Israel, something Hitler did not succeed in.

These irrelevant European countries, in their search for relevancy, now support the radical Islamic agenda and can't bring themselves to calling Arafat what he is, a homicidal thug, who sent his followers on suicide missions that he himself never went on, and embezzled probably billions of dollars from his people.

Perhaps in his eulogy, some member of the mainstream media will go to the Gaza Strip or West Bank and show us all the schools, hospitals, clinics, and and other things that Arafat built to make his people's lives better. It should only take about 10 seconds, because he didn't do a darn thing for them. And now his wife gets 22 million a year from the Palestinian Authority, so she can live in Paris. How about paying her 22 million is she promises to live with her "people" in the Gaza Strip, but I guess if they saw how well she lived they might think less about blowing up a bus full of Israelis and more about why the Palestinian Authority isn't doing anything for them.

And maybe Al Jazeera should show all the secret video tape that the Ceausescu regime reportedly secretly taped of Arafat and his bodyguards engaging in acts that would make Mohammed roll over in his grave.

bump for the truth that we already know.

Once more for the fun of it. Did he really get away with it. NOT!

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Does it have anything to do with a willing and compliant international media?

[rodguy911]

One thing Arafat is getting away with in the arab world is

the fact that he was a major fag and died of aids.
