The US administration threatened over the weekend to impose sanctions against Arafat, from closing the PLO's offices in Washington to totally cutting off relations, if he fails to prove he is making a concerted effort to fight terrorism.

OK, and why didn't we do this 6 months ago? but better late then never!!

We didn't do this 6 months ago, because our President is serious about allowing people to hang themselves. He will give people enough rope and allow them to make the decision. They will either do the right thing, or they will make it plain and clear to everyone exactly where they stand. It has worked with Arafat, and it's also working for the Senate. The media doesn't get it yet, but they will - after Bush finishes reading "Bias".

Because six months ago, we did not have four carrier groups in theatre, and a shirtload of bombers parked and fueled on diego garcia... thats why.

USA is ready to play catbird. And with Saud's, Egypt, and Jordanians holding the evidence PROVING the radical arabs were trying to topple their governments, they will do nothing but bitch us out while secretly thanking allah for the Israeli and American military prowess in the area.

Syria, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon are in for a real treat, because they really thought we didn't know. We have their communiques for the last year now, and we got the goods on em. We are daring them to bust a move.

NOW we can tell arafat, do it or die. Zinni's comment is yet another nail in the arafathead coffin. I understand Egypt, Saud's and Jordan won't return his calls. He has been kissed by the Godfather. I don't think it will be long now.

Israel's measured response to further agression is really starting to play "sweet" in some other places. They are looking more and more like the "victims" here... and they are.

I hope we win.

The Palestinian Authority is a mafia, and PA Chairman Yasser Arafat is the leader of the mafia, US special envoy Anthony Zinni said today.

ROFLMAO...so much for being a peace envoy!

Yo-Ho Arafat must go!
