Arab leaders saying goodbye to Arafat

This is one occasion I can agree with Arab leaders.

If this is true, then Bush is not blowing it.

If Powell is going to personally bring this news to Arafat (in essence serve the eviction notice), then the Bush administration can't be praised enough (well that's an exageration but makes the point).

Arab leaders saying goodbye to Arafat

Don't tease me!

[Argus]

So this is why Yasser looks so sad when he's on his cel phone.

[miamimark]

If true, I wonder if this would stop the suiciderers. What would happen if after blaming Arafat for all the killing, he goes into exile and the murder continues?

Also, didn't Powell do the same in Haiti?

[terilyn]

I hope this is true, then we just have to pray that Arafat doesn't bring his destructive behavior with him to Egypt or Morocco. His pattern has been to travel with the terrorists. Wasn't he evicted from Jordan and Lebanon for much the same reasons?

[jobedo]

All I can say is wow---I would have never thought this one up. Let's hope its true.

[terilyn]

Ping to you. Maybe this will keep the flame of hope burning.

[usconservative]

I don't buy this for a second. The the hatred the Arab world has for Israel runs so deep, they send their own children in to die as suicide bombers murderers.

Wishful thinking on WND's part.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Maybe France will take him (after all, they are derserving) ...he can life with his wife & child.

[Dog Gone]

Do you think this report is credible? I don't.

[G Larry]

If this happens, Bush coat tails will sweep Republicans back into control of the Senate!

Then the attack on Iraq can wait until December.

[monkeywrench]

Whoever took him in, would have to assume some responsibility for him.

[HockeyPop]

Whoever, whatever substitutes for Arafat will see the world fawning over this new Palestinian leadership. He/She/it/they will be viewed through even rosier lensed glasses. Heads up!

[McGavin999]

I don't see how any of these leaders can accept him into their country. He'll just continue to cause problems where-ever he goes. They'd have to put him on a desert island somewhere where there is no cell phones and no access to his terrorist buddies.

[foreshadowed at waco]

I so hope this is true...although I understand that the individual leader of a country is not the country itself, I do believe that a good person surrounds himself with good people and that an evil person chooses other bad people for his entourage...I believe that Yasser Arafat is an evil man and must be removed...I also entertain the hope that GW is a good man and will always choose a correct course for our country.

I pray for our Israeli allies during this time of terrible uncertainty. They suffer not only because their people are being killed and injured, but also, like Americans, they do not love to engage in destruction and death but have been forced to take military action to protect themselves from murderers and fanatics.

[tallhappy]

A quick check has London Sunday Telegraph and Jerusalem Post are the sources for this.

He'd be exiled to Morrocco -- the first place Powell went.

Still, sounds to good to be true.

[terilyn]

It's hard to imagine that either Egypt or Morocco would want the stress taking Arafat in would create. Maybe Powell is delivering not only the message that he's moving, but he'd better do it quietly and behave himself because his only other option is to let Sharon have at him.

And, IMHO, for all his declarations of wishing for martyrdom, I don't believe it for a minute. He's turned tail and run before when things got too hot. He'll run again to save his own sorry butt. He only likes blowing up young people for "The sake of Islam". If it comes down to dying or living quietly in a country with a rational leader, my money's on the latter.

[BluH2o]

Arafat looks like a rat, acts like one, and deserves the guillotine. Failing that ... this piece of excrement should be banished to some remote island in the south Atlantic. Somewhere where his cellphone doesn't work.
