Lights Out for Arafat

(IsraelNN.com) Electricity to Yasser Arafat's Mukata headquarters in Ramallah and the surrounding area was cut off on Saturday night, Israel Radio reported. No additional information is available at this time.

You know this could be sorta dangerous for Arafat. If shooting starts and the lights are out "accidents" can happen. Who would know what one was firing at? Unless of course you had infrared gear :-)

I could be wrong, but I don't think they want to kill him. I think they want to make him irrelevant and cut him off completely from his command. I think they are telling him he's done giving orders...

But I have no idea what they plan to do about the UN/EU, who will insist on carrying his orders for him...

I'm sure the Israelis took out these vehicles, so Ararat could not hide the wanted men in them, in case he goes to the Church of the Nativity, as is being discussed.

Wonder what other tunes people here think Yasser might enjoy.

Yoko Ono. Endless loop playback. About 132 decibels or so. Spice it up with selections from the "Hebrew Hits" channel on DMX satellite radio.

Half hour intervals of oinking pigs might be a nice touch as well now that I think about it. Oh yes, can't forget. The odd Rob Zombie moment in the middle of the night would add some variety. Wouldn't want them to get bored, after all.

On the hour, every hour, Frank Zappa's "Broken Hearts are for A**holes. Just to let Arafat know we care.

I don't know what's going to happen. I was just doing some wishful thinking.

Terrible. Now Arafat won't be able to tell which hand he's using to wipe his butt.

For all we know, he doesnt even bother to wipe.

Israeli bulldozers Saturday destroyed seven armored Mercedes cars that Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat uses in his presidential motorcade

Why don't they just kill him and get it over with?

Hatikva comes immediately to mind.

Anything from "Fiddler on the Roof."

Klezmer music.

Gore finally moved? He was always so stiff.

[willyone]

Not to mention the unforgetable Zappa tune "Up against the wall motherf---er", performed live on the street in NYC back in the sixties.

[myrabach]

How about "Like A Virgin" 72 times?

[doug from upland]

I wonder if Gray Davis is responsible.

Yasser, sitting in the dark, with only vermin ridden "peace activists" and his own homocide bombers for company. Bet he's too scared to light a candle because he doesn't want to present a "target".

WHAT A CHEERY THOUGHT!

Al Muqataa

I Feel AraFlattie's Pain ... EEEEhhaaaaaaaaa ... what size tank tread do you wear Ya$$er :-?

LOL... GraYout DeViou$ IS Never responsible ... He gives sheep a bad name :-)

"The use of those loudspeakers to produce annoying sounds directed at Arafat's main office is "provocative and criminal Israeli army action," the minister charged.

"He said that carrying out such an action "approves [sic] that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon had failed to get rid of President Arafat and break his determination to continue his struggle for the Palestinian independent state."

Hmmm...lights out...loudpeakers...where have I seen THIS tactic before? Yasser is about to break if he hasn't broken already, or the good 'minister' wouldn't be WHINING.

Let me break out my personal collection of Classic Metallica:

"Four Horsemen"
"Seek and Destroy"
"Leper Messiah"
"One"
"For Whom the Bell Tolls"
"Ride the Lightning"
"And Justice for All"
and to lighten the mood, "Hit the Lights"

"Yoko Ono. Endless loop playback. About 132 decibels or so. Spice it up with selections from the "Hebrew Hits" channel on DMX satellite radio."

Good idea. How about adding "We all Live in a Yellow Submarine" or ( not sure if the title is quite correct ) "'Enry the Eighth I am"....or...OOOOOOOOh....how about music from BARNEY??? The UNEU can't complain about THAT can they?

[dalebert]

I know we are giving them money. Why?
