As usual, you side with the terrorist, against the USA. Figures. Poor Arafat. The USA is demanding he be a leader. Just not up to it I guess.

The USA spends $ 50 bill a year for the 5th fleet to protect Israel.

Actually, the Fifth Fleet protects Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and various other monarchies in the Middle East. Thank you for playing. PLONK.

Wouldn't it make sense to be biased towards one of your number one Allies. Who was dancing in the streets on 911? Weren't those Arabs being biased?

Here is a shot of ArafaRt and his best buddy. His shot was just before his scheduled bikini wax job on that mess on his lips.

They are made for each other, sleazy politicians to the core of their beings!

"Dear God, who cares about the Americans," Arafat said, striking the air with his hand at his office in the West Bank city of Ramallah.

Well, I see the that old nemesis of dictators, tertiary syphilis, has claimed another one.

It is time for him to go

It's time for him to hang.

He's the "father of terrorism." He earned the gallows a long time ago.

They let Whoopie Goldberg go free.

"Am I bin Laden?"

You're close enough for me Yasser.

The Israelis should just waste this guy already. He's either useless or complicit. Either one is more than enough reason to kill him.
