Can we get pictures of him on his knees?

[adam stevens]

LOL!

[eureka!]

"[the IDF] started digging a deep trench and running coils of barbed wire around his office"

Better get comfy Yassar. The Peaceniks ain't coming with goodies this time...

[Lent]

The White House and the European Union ( news - web sites) urged Israel to show restraint,

Yawnnn!

[Steely Tom]

Arafat has said he would never again leave the Palestinian lands.

I will never again leave the Palestinian lands! You are talking to General Arafat! (click)

(steely)

[neutrino]

Thanks for posting!

[ZinGirl]

Arafat needs help with HTML?

[Alouette]

During the day, 20 men did leave Arafat's compound and surrender, but it turned out none were wanted by the Israelis.

That's another "humiliation."

[PhiKapMom]

Give Arafat Help? NO WAY!!!

He deserves everything he is getting!

[Shermy]

"The flare-up comes at a time when the United States, because of its showdown with Iraq, is particularly in need of Arab good will."

Which is exactly why Arafat ordered it. Saddam deposited another $1 million into his Swiss accounts, probably the way it's bargained.

[Nuke'm Glowing]

Arafat has said he would never again leave the Palestinian lands.

Good. I say dump his body in the sea.

[teletech]

I hope Arafat is ousted either walking or feet first. It's time!

[RJayneJ]

News alert: Arafat is reported to have poo-ed his pants.

[Centurion2000]

caught in the tightest Israeli chokehold yet, pleaded for the world's help after troops blew up buildings in his compound Friday and started digging a deep trench and running coils of barbed wire around his office.

Show some friggin backbone or dignity in defeat Arafat .... oh wait ... you're a musli terrorist that goes after women and children as prefferred targets. DIE !!

[prisoner6]

Nope, sorry, that was me. Don't even know why I did that or how it slipped by in preview...maybe too much adult beverage...it's my day off.

Late Friday, Israeli bulldozers demolished a walkway linking two parts of the office, leaving Arafat and a few associates, along with about 20 wanted men, isolated in one area and separating him from most of his guards in the other section, said an aide, Nabil Abu Rdeneh.

Heheheheheheheheh!!!!

I guess your HTML doesn't work in titles. This is what it should have looked like.

I love this article. Wondering if this is going to be a repeat of Adolf in his final bunker. LOL! Probably not. Arafat is too much of a coward for suicide.

[Steely Tom]

It sounds like someone in the Israeli command headquarters was brought up on Loonytoons. The scene sounds more and more like it is under the direction of Tex Avery.

Tweety bird tiptoes over to one side of the sleeping Sylvester, and puts a huge bomb on the floor to his right. Then, he tiptoes carefully around Sylvster and puts another huge bomb to his right. Then, before tiptoeing off to the detonator, he pauses to pat Sylvester on the head...

[PianoMan]

The White House and the European Union urged Israel to show restraint, suggesting that too harsh a reprisal for a Tel Aviv bus blast claimed by Arafat's Islamic militant rivals would upset quiet efforts to reform the Palestinian Authority

Perfect. I needed a comedy break.
