He maybe and I maybe wrong but please understand that I have a deep skepticism in any Press. It seemed even FOX was trying to hang him out to dry in the last days of the election.

Did they ever say what his "undisclosed illness" was?

I think he had metastasized satanitis.

"Let's hope someone honest follows him and peace is at hand in Israel"

It will never happen. Generations have grown up in Arafat's schools and slums being taught that Jews are pigs that should be pushed into the sea and that Israel doesn't or shouldn't exist.

Arafat should be spat upon for the havoc he has caused in this world. If there is a hell, Arafat deserves eternal damnation.

It reallys looks that way.

ACCORDING TO RELIABLE SOURCES ARAFAT IS DEAD.



According to PROCHE ORIENT INFO, a french newspaper, ARAFAT DIES A FEW MINUTES AGO.

The headline says..... ARAFAT HAS DIED A FEW MINUTES AGO.

Confirmed yet?

Projections based on early exit polling are confusing. Show Arafat death leading but hospital spokesman denies.

Conflicting reports on Arafat's death

The Associated Press

November 4, 2004, 12:08 PM EST

PARIS -- Luxembourg's prime minister told reporters Thursday that Yasser Arafat had died, but doctors treating the Palestinian leader near Paris said he was still alive.

The conflicting statements came after Arafat's condition sharply worsened and aides said he was in a coma.

Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, arriving for a European summit in Brussels, Belgium, said Arafat had died.

"Mr. Arafat died 15 minutes ago," Juncker told reporters about 6 p.m., at almost the same time doctors were briefing reporters on Arafat's condition in Paris.

But Christian Estripeau, head of communications for French military health services, denied the report.

"Mr. Arafat is not dead," he said. "The clinical situation of the first few days following admission has become more complex."

Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia said there had been no change in Arafat's condition.

Arafat's chief of staff, Ramzi Khoury, called an Associated Press reporter and told him: "I am standing next to the president's bed, he is in grave condition."

Arafat's personal physician, Dr. Ashraf Kurdi, told Israel TV's Channel Two that Arafat was still alive.

Let's hope that an honest appraisement of Arafat's estate reveals to those who have festered in the refugee camps just how many billions of dollars in aid from THE GREAT SATAN, Arafat has stolen from them.

Carville, Satan's campaign manager, is disputing the results...claiming voter irregularities and Zionism intimidation.

I was impressed with Carville on 11/2. He was the first to throw in the towel while other dems were still spinning.
