Arafat's phony war on terrorism

Washington Times ^ | Friday, December 28, 2001 | House Editorial

[JohnHuang2]

Just 48 hours after his "historic" Dec. 16 address calling for an end to suicide bombings, Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Yasser Arafat provided yet another illustration of the outrageous behavior that has destroyed what was left of the current "peace process" and has cost him many of the trappings of power he had only a few months ago, including his freedom of movement. Speaking to a group of young Arabs from Jerusalem, Mr. Arafat declared that he is willing to sacrifice 70 "martyrs" (i.e., Palestinians) for one dead Israeli, and also promised that Palestinians would continue to fight for "their" land. Bassam Abu Sharif, an adviser to the PA boss, was subsequently trotted out to assert that Mr. Arafat's remarks were incorrectly translated

I'd like to see a similar house editorial emit from the yellow oped page of the Washington Post.

You'll sooner see pigs fly before that ever happens ;^)

I just laughed at the title, even the suggestion of Arafat's "war on terrorism" invokes a chuckle. Good post.

Arafat+extremists=Taleban+Al Qaeda

[College Repub]

Bush said the US will go after the terrorists and the groups that harbour terrorists. Arafat represents both.

A single .223 bullet from an Israeli sniper and the world is put out of its Yassar misery.

[JohnHuang2]

I second that...

There won't be any peace in the Middle East until Arafat is dead.

[American in Israel]

There won't be any peace after either, but at least the air will be cleaner...
