RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - Israeli troops opened fire Friday on the private offices of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Palestinian officials said.

A Palestinian official said Arafat's life was in jeopardy.

Palestinians have been waging an uprising against occupation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip since September 2000. At least 1,107 Palestinians and 381 Israelis have been killed in tit-for-tat violence since the revolt began.

Ha ha!! If we start in on the French Surrender stuff, we will need an entire new thread. God, I hate the French. I have trouble even thinking about them.

Felicity just remarked that "lower level enclosed office" makes him sound like Dilbert. Not important enough to rate a window. Trapped in the "cube farm."

I think the REAL Israeli objective here is the files, computers and records in and around Arafat's "personal" office. They'll take the information obtained, go to Brussels, and stuff it up the haughty noses of the European Union, IMHO.

who are these people and why are they so hostile and mean???

They are leftists, my dear, and they are hostile and mean from trying to convince themselves that they love humanity although they hate people.

GMTA. When I saw the IDF going in, I told my hubby that there's a treasure trove of intel inside. However, the *really* good stuff is contained in a small notebook in Yasser's pocket. When he was in a plane crash a few years back & was hauled away on a stretcher, he made his aides go back to the wreckage to get THAT notebook.

I can't wait for CNN to show his funeral as another innocent Pali gunned down by the Israelis. Oh well if you want to stand out in the open making yourself a target like that ya gotta expect that incoming round will get you to your virgins quick.

Pretty weak tactics, standing in the open blazing away with an AK. If that's the best they can do at fighting soldier to soldier, no wonder they send women and kids with bombs strapped to them.

America must achieve total energy independence through an emergency crash program funded in the defense budget as a vital national security priority.

Or we could stop using monster SUVs to commute to work...
