What a surprise.

I really hate to spoil the party here, but the prisoners have left, Whorealdo is really having fun with his buddy, Arafat's aide, so were on to other fun facts.

[Miss Marple]

The prisoners have been moved, which is what I think you meamnt. They are on their way to Jericho under the watchful eye of American and UK people.

Your post made it sound like they just left, which I know you didn't mean.

Channel Two: U.S. putting extreme pressure on Arafat to agree to deal.

[BOBTHENAILER]

Looks like the extreme pressure is paying off, although I hate to hang my hat on anything concerning events there. Way too fluid to make snap judgements.

[BOBTHENAILER]

You're right, I didn't mean prisoners left, as in OJ in the white Bronco. I meant moved as you said. In any case, the fluidity of the situation over there continues.

I'm continually amazed at the hard and fast blamethrowers in all media, including FR, wherein everyone seems to know exactly what is going to happen. This thread is a perfect example. A lotta people gotta be thinking like Gilda Radner's character, Emily Litella sp?..NEVERMIND

How exactly is this a Bush failure and how is Arafat winning the PR and diplomatic war?

Bush is in charge of the world isn't he ?

a deal is a deal until it's not. I once sold a house to an Egyptian who owns a jewelry store. He was as bad as any rug merchant in a Moroccan bazaar. He was getting the mortgage from me, and the terms of the sale (price, points, mortgage, furniture included, etc.,) kept changing up to and including the signing of the closing documents. Only when I got up from the table and physically walked out of the room did he agree to what he had already agreed to.

Hey, no wonder I never see any Middle-Eastern types driving Saturn automobiles! That would make a great Saturday Night Live skit... the "Arab trader" mentality meets the "No-dicker sticker".

"He lies whenever he opens his mouth."

It goes deeper then that. He's psychopathic. It's prolific among the PLO. Listen to them when they try to justify there actions. I try to understand their point of view but they never make their case. I'm all ears too. It's all illogical bs.

[Demidog]

Are you expressing support for an international criminal court?

Nope. But I would think that Israel's jurisdiction would be appropriate. If they have evidence, put them on trial.

[Catspaw]

Woa... Cats... you are way off base here. The implication is that Arafat is a man! Go on, tell me another one!!! LOL

Okay, Yasser is either a girlie man or captain of The Raging Queen.
