Israeli intelligence reveals new disco bombing planned at Arafat's HQ
Israel Insider ^ | 7/28/2003 | Israel Insider

Posted on 07/28/2003 7:12:49 AM PDT by Israel Insider

Israeli security forces say they arrested a member of PA Chairman Yasser Arafat's Fatah terror group for involvement in a cell that was to attack a crowded disco in one of Israel's coastal cities. The attack was reportedly planned and directed from Arafat's Muqata compound in Ramallah. The Israelis say the PA refused to act on the intelligence, but senior PA security sources deny it.

The arrested militant, Issim Farukh from Ramallah, confessed to his interrogators that he was expected on one of the next weekends to send two bomb-strapped young women to carry out suicide attacks in Tel Aviv or Netanya nighclubs. The two women, from the West Bank city of Nablus, were to arrive in Ramallah, and from there cross into Israel.

Lol - with "Conservatives" like Bush, it's just like having a Democrat!

Nice hit and run attack - funny that you couldn't pick any of the items I'm upset with Bush about, such as growing the Federal bureaucracy, not protecting our borders from hordes of illegal immigrant invaders, etc.

If it walks like a rat, talks like a rat, and co-opt's the rat positions instead of taking principled stands - might as well call a rat a rat. No wonder his poll ratings are falling, he ignored the results of the midterm election in which the electorate swung right.

Give me a break, Reagan was a great president in many ways, and a clumsy one in others, such as his visit to Bitburg and wanting to classify ketchup as a serving of vegetable for school lunch programs.

I admire the man immensely, but he was not perfect.

Then again, no one is. Not even Bush - not even you! ;)

Funny, I think it's important to let Politicians know when you disagree with their issues - ESPECIALLY when they are Republicans.

I hold Bush to a higher standard than he has delivered so far. And so far, he's abandoned a lot of conservative principles. It's funny hearing leftists calling him an "extremist" conservative when he's really a left-leaniong Republican.

I don't care about his religious preference - we hired him to protect the CONSTITUTION and the US, not the New Testament! Well, get protecting. Our borders are wide open!

Come on...

His advisers and Colin Powell are to blame?

They serve at Bush's pleasure.

The man should take some responsibility, and fire them.

Where does the buck stop?

Chad, are you addressing adam , or President Bush? Because, based on his domestic record so far, OUR president has given the left more that they wanted and way more than we, as conservatives wanted them to have. Granted there are a few instances where he draws a line, but it seems that even our representatives fail to toe that line in those cases (can you say senate "filibuster"?)

No, there is no dem I would vote for, and I wont PUBLICLY (I dont consider this forum of friends to be "public" discourse) denegrate W; but, he fails many tests as a true conservative.

On the whole, Bush has lived up to his pre-election image of NOT being a "right-winger", although democrats have fooled themselves into thinking that he is their vision of an extremist. Early on we waited for Bush to move from the center to the right. Except for his foreign policy (and he fails the task when it comes to Israel)he has stayed in the middle of the road.

Courier is correct ... Bush is being hypocritical when it comes to the Israeli-PLA situation. Grabbing the shiny apple of peacemaker in the Middle East has affected this president, too, and he's letting the worms eat the good apples while he spends his efforts trying to reach it. Let's hope the tree (of life) is strong enough to survive yet another misguided effort.

George Bush is no Ronald Reagan.

My point is that at the same time frame as CIC as bush's, Ronald Reagan was not shrinking government but was growing it. Reagan's legacy was not apparant nor could it have been in that time frame and Dubya's isn't either.

I DO agree that Dubya' is no Ronald Reagan for he, in my book and many others, is a 20 on a scale of 1-10, however that wasn't the case in his earlier years, BUT given time, even with his tax increases and spending he was able to turn the economy around, and do a fine job in foreign affairs at the same time. With Dubya's time frame in office and the self destruction of the liberal political base, I see the same outcome with Dubya' as with Ronald Reagan given time.
