TAMPA, Fla. (AP) --

Arabs just love those Palestinians.

Maybe he could call Arafart and ask if a room is available?....Wait a minute..arafart's compound is currently undergoing a complete remodel,...dust all over the place....tanks outside...and no toilet paper!!

[Clara Lou]

I could just cry for the poor man. /sarcasm

[prov1813man]

The more of these "hate america" profs get sent to "friendly" third world countries whose case they seem so eager to make, the more they pine for the good ol' USA.

Let them rot.

..arafart's compound is currently undergoing a complete remodel,...dust all over the place....tanks outside...and no toilet paper!!

Unless his hands have been blown off, he's still in good shape.

[sidegunner]

[...unless his hands have been blown off]

Just a thought...his LEFT hand turns up missing....does he call one of his aids and ask the unlucky one to ahhhh..lend him a hand?

[Catspaw]

Boo....and may I add...hoo and hoo.

It's too bad he didn't take Sami al Arian with him in his middle-eastern globe-trotting.

Thanks -- this story made my day. Prior to 9/11, Al-Najjar has been the poster boy for (fictitious) Muslim discrimination and the sobbing about "secret evidence" -- despite proof uncovered in 1995 that Al-Najjar is an operative for front groups of the Palestinian Jihad, and despite visa violations and immigration fraud charges (including a fictitious marriage to an American citizen for the purpose of obtaining permanent resident status).

Earlier this year, it looked like he would be freed yet again, since no country would take him.

I'm thrilled the DOJ decided to dump the trash (although it probably should have been over the ocean). With any luck, he'll find a position at Baghdad University.

[NautiNurse]

Good news, good riddance.

...wiping tear from eye that his wife Fedaa didn't join him.

[Goldwater Girl]

It is troubling that this "Palestinian" illegal alien (at the very least) cannot be deported because he has no country.

How many other Palestinians are still here illegally because the INS can't find anywhere to send them?
I bet this quandry will apply to his brother as well- when they get around to it.

How did they get in the US in the first place? They had to have a passport from SOMEWHERE.........

[sheik yerbouty]

He can go to Antarctica! "Vole on ice!"

[blam]

That Sami SOB ought to be with him!

[piasa]

Yep- and they should be sent back to wherever they came from, and if no one claims them and they won't talk, a 60,000 foot drop kick into the Med is fine with me.

And Dashole, McAwful, the Klintoons...and various assorted Hate America First knee-padders.

Well, it looks like we're going to have to buy a desert island somewhere in the pacific. An island far off the trade routes, with no telecommunications, no airport (just a small helipad), surrounded by US warships, where we can drop these guys. They need a country. We could call it Terroristan. Once a month we could drop off a few bags of grain, some desalinization tablets, and a few aspirin, and they can rot there (or amuse each other by blowing themselves up)

"Has Lebanon become an open land so that an official American plane, hired by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, lands at Beirut's airport and unloads its cargo then takes off as if nothing happened?" Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri told reporters.

Since the Palestinians, Syrians, and Iranians have turned the once-beautiful Lebanon into a toilet, they have to expect the occasional flush.

I wonder why the Saudi's don't welcome him? I hope I live to see the day when the US takes the war on terror to Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia.
