After consultation with his Middle East advisors, French President Jacque Chiraq has decided to back Suha Arafat all the way--and at the same time reach out to the radical rejectionist wing of the Palenstinian camp--PLO Politburo chief Farouk Kaddumi, Arafat's close confidant Hanni al Hassan, senior terrorist chief Col. Feisal Abu Srakh, as well as Mohammad Jihad, an important Jordanian general.
Former and present Palenstinian Prime Ministers Abu Ala and Abu Mazen have been deeply shamed by the hysterical pre dawn antics of Arafat's wife Suha on Al Jazzera Arabic TV.
Swallowing their chagrin, Abu Ala and Abu Mazen flew to the French capital to sort out the imbriglio.
It was clear for all to see that Arafat could not be maintained on life support systems beyond a couple of days, and that his body must be moved and a funeral arranged to salvage the last shreds of the Palestinian leaders dignity.
To accomplish that, Suha would have to be paid off.
Suha had been preparing to demand their signatures on documents drafter by her French lawyers guaranteeing her a multimillion dollar inheritance and pension--the price for switching off life support systems.
The two Palestinian officials were humiliated when they arrived at the hospital gates and were told by French medical spokesman Christian Estripeau, 'Mr. Arafats condition forces us to limit visitors.'
Mrs. Arafat still holds the key to access to Arafat-on her terms. (for now) With the French President behind her, those terms can only become stiffer.
And by grinding down Abu Ala and Abu Mazen, she is doing her part in enhancing the standing of Arafat's radical rivals.

Call Andrew Lloyd Webber!
I'm waiting for Andrew Lloyd Weber to come out with a musical based on this.
Arafat Super Star!
Don't Cry for me, Suha!
Long Weekend at Ara's and Suha's!
Keeping the number to his Swiss bank account to himself is all that's kept Arafat alive for years.
I thought its where your toilet flows.
Could be what John Edwards suggests to all his male clients.
And don't forget John Kerry grew up in France!
LOL
"Long Weekend at Ara's and Suha's!"
I'm thinking something in line with "Melvin and Howard". Maybe Arafat's "Will" will show up in Salt Lake City...
I'm hoping Suha presses this in courts, long Peterson-like finanglings, Arafat hooked up all the while at French expense.
A fitting end.
...and like any French whore he has his hand out for a hand-out of that $1 Billion in Suha's pocket!

Chirac is EVIL and he needs to be stopped.
Chirac = ENEMY
KOFI = ENEMY
Bernie = deceased Enemy
Wonder if he got the bank account numbers.
"Weekend at Bernie's".
There's all that money floating around. Madame Suha wants it, but the PLO 'heirs' want their snouts stuck in the PLO pig trough also.
For Chirac, Suha would be the easiest venue to that cash stash, compared to brokering with umpteen somewhat 'less than trustworthy' PLO leaders.
This is looking like the trailer trash version of "The Godfather".

As though ANYBODY cares about Arafart's dignity, least of all the Pali leadership.
After they pay off Suha, they will have to pay off numerous bodyguards, Pali ministers, maybe even Cipel ...
Well, one can understand her anxiety... the hubby dies, the money from the PLO coffers stops going her way.
For Chirac to stand on Suha's side means he sees some possibility for her to retain some control over the accounts only Arab-Fart had an access to... once a Frenchie, always a Frenchie, he-he-he-he.
The whole thing is like a Monty Python high camp comedy.
The rumour is that only Arafat himself knows the Swiss bank codes..
