What's going on here? True, Arafat has a young daughter, but she lives in Paris and seldom if ever sees her dad. Ha'aretz reports that the head of Israel's Shin Bet security services told France's interior minister last month that, in the Israeli newspaper's words, "Arafat's mental functioning has deteriorated greatly of late and his behavior is marked by faulty judgment."

If you had the Israelis mad at you, and your protection force was made up of men who believe in doing heroic battle by strapping bombs on their children, while they hide themselves behind their women, you would need baby wipes too.

"In the bedroom, fine dust covered the Baby Wipes dispenser on his bedstead." It's no mystery. The wipes are for cleaning his bottom when his diaper is changed.

Of course we know.
With all that IDF shelling, tanks smashing through and helicopter gun ships, it's no wonder the guy is hitting a Pucker Factor of 6.8. ;-)

Maybe they are for his sexiest camel's bottom after HE finishes with it.

Maybe he wants his butt clean before he kisses it goodbye.
To: He Rides A White Horse
I too think he wipes his mouth with it -- not much difference, either end of his body...

Nah! He just misread the instructions and thinks it's for wiping his mouth.

He uses them when he blows his nose, as he (quite understandably) mistakes his face for his rear end.
To: etcetera; Silly
No matter. Same stuff comes out both ends.
To: DallasMike
I should have posted this pic right away:

Next to the Kleenex, see the blue box... Those are the Baby Wipes.

You big silly!
Baby wipes are wet and soapy.
What better way to wash your hands and face and bottom when your water and electrcity are shut off?
I bet the White House and Capitol bunkers have them too!
