[Semper Paratus]

Why don't they hit up Mrs Arafat for a loan first?

[oolatec]

And who will pocket this money now that Arafish is a rotting corpse?

[Judith Anne]

As a taxpayer, I have "Donor's Fatigue."

Spend the Arafat billions FIRST.

[AD from SpringBay]

They should receive at least half of the Arafat fortune before another penny of American tax dollars . . . wait a minute - how about no more American tax dollars for them?

[Publius6961]

Can the U.S. Go to Oslo also and request a few hundred $billion?

This money fairy is such a cool idea!
I din't know all it took was to ask for it!

Wait. Do I have to manufacture suicide belts to qualify?

[Bon mots]

$4billion! WOW!
They can blow up a lot of babies with nailbombs for that kind of money.
Arafart's widow can move into a bigger place too.

[Jimmyclyde]

This is really shocking considering the fact the Palestinians have such a vibrate economy the envy of the world.

If you'd like to be on or off this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.

[prophetic]

wow, I wonder how many bomb belts they can make with so much money, and how many terrorist mercs can they contract with all that money?

I really have a hard time thinking that these 'people' can do anything else except create violence against the Israeli's and Americans

[DoctorMichael]

Scum.

[Alouette]

And who will pocket this money now that Arafish is a rotting corpse?

Abu Mazen was the one who set up all of Yasser's offshore bank accounts. He probably set up some for himself as well.

[Cinnamon]

they whould look up Arafat's swiss accounts... lotsa billions there

[Exeter]

Not one dime until a permanent, workable peace is signed between the Pals and the Israel. Otherwise, we're simply funding continued terrorist attacks.

BTW, with all the uncounted billions the Arabs have from oil production, why do they need money from some other source to help one of their own?

"Palestinians to seek $4 billion at Oslo aid talks"

Memo to Palies: And people in hell want ice water, too!

[CaptRon]

The Palestinian Authority will ask donor countries at a meeting in Oslo for about $4 billion over three years to stave off an economic crisis

Shouldn't this read "to stave off their current economic crisis"? I mean, since they produce nothing but suicide bombers and death they're pretty much in a permanent economic crisis.

[lilylangtree]

And whose fault is it that the palis live in poverty? OK, I know that araRAT is dead but freeze all his assets and the palis might see some of the money returned. BTW, "donor countries" mean all those oil-rich arab states, I hope.

LOL---eom

[mewzilla]

Talk about pouring money down a rat hole.
