I searched "KGB" and "Arafat" and didn't come up with this article so hopefully I haven't duplicated another post. This article has some great information.

Connecting Arafat to Cold War Communist aid is yet one more step towards identifying him as a PFLP (Palestinian Communist and Black September terrorist) leader.

Thats an easy connection. Arafat & Dr. Georges Habbash(PFLP leader) were the originators of 'Palestinian' freedom/terr movements. They split up, PFLP & PLO resulted.

"Oh, I thought it was gonna be about xlinton!"

That won't be revealed for another 40-50 years. It'll be The Venona Files of 2053.

"Clinton concluded his public remarks to Arafat by thanking him for 'decades and decades and decades of tireless representation of the longing of the Palestinian people to be free, self-sufficient, and at home.'"

xlinton went behind the iron curtain while we were at war. He was escorted and tempted by the KGB. He, of course, yeilded to the temptations and was fully and completely blackmailed. He is the greatest KGB agent ever planted.

I think probably because it is too humiliating for the country.

It is also because he still has the loyal support of the RATmedia and 35% of the electorate which will support him to the grave.

Somebody should email this story to Colon Powell and the rest of the State Department. They obviously don't get it.

Do you have any info on the Sandinista, Patrick Arguello Ryan, who assisted the female palestinian hijacker in that big hijacking festival the PFLP had in 1970?
