That's some serious ordinance.....

Among the many weapons on board

They left out a Quarry of Rocks.

I heard about this on the news on the way to work. According to the newsreader, although the ship was registered to the PA, they denied any knowledge or responsibility. How can the Israelis be expected to negotiate in good faith with such a pack of liars?

Combined navy and air force units on Thursday night captured a freighter in the Red Sea carrying some 50 tons of offensive weapons bound for the Palestinian Authority, Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Shaul Mofaz announced an hour ago.

Israel to Arafat: Thanks for the free weaponry! We'll enjoy it! :-)

Just in time for Zinni's visit. Of course, this makes no difference to those who "pursue peace", right? /sarcasm.

This is a daring and impressive operation, to save hundreds or thousands of lives of the Israelis who would be targets of these weapons, and to do so on the open seas withoout any loss of life. That's impressive.

Since Arafat bought the weapons and supplied some of the crew, and since these are weapons that he has agreed in writing not to possess, and since he made the purchase while he is allegedly "seeking a just peace...." Well, let's just say that Arafat is every bit as honest, but just a tad more murderous, than Billyjeff Clinton.

There is a third advantage to this haul. For decades now Arafat has been condemning the United States, because its weapons (ones it sold Israel) have been used to "murder Palestinians." That leaves out the fact that Israel is acting against the perpetrators of multiple, WTC-sized attackes on its civilians, in proportion to its total population.

Follow up on Arafat's "logic." I hope that Israel now uses these seized weapons in in its future actions against the Palestinian terrorists. Who will Arafat now blame for the weapons? Himself? Or Iran?

To Israel, I say shalom. To Arafat I say, so long.

The UN General Assembly and the NY Times immediately condemned the Israeli action and demanded an investigation into "acts of piracy in international waters"
