I believe you're right - and I fear for the survival of our country. Between immigrants demanding our country change to suit them, liberals constantly demanding we provide for those who won't provide for themselves and this general world wide attitude that terror is the way to change things politically, we're doomed unless people start taking drastic action.

I would despair too if my leader was a murderous imbecile. President "W" and Powell have a plan here. But one guy called Rush with a good question; who will have to die for Arafat[head]'s 'last chance'?

Hubbard's goal was world domination, likewise his successors.

Yes, this is the one cult that gives me the Heebie Jeebies. Their tactic has been to gain control.

It is instructive to note that one of Clinton's first acts was to deliver tax-exempt status to them, cutting through the IRS ruling and by fiat, declaring them a church. They have a lot of assets and are very stealthy as to what they are up to.

RE: the pic of Arafat and Bibi

If looks could kill.

I'm still convinced he says "Seig Heil" in this statement - is it something else?

Sure sounds like it to me too.
Any other FReepers have a different take?

LOL! I have to say that's the best Yassar has ever looked. I bet this little guy has better teeth and smells a lot better too!

I think that the Telegraph is in a little different category than the Guardian, et al. It is owned by Conrad Black who also owns the National Post in Canada and the Jerusalem Post in Israel, and I've thought its reporting since 9-11 has been pretty consistently responsible.

I wonder if Arafat has been targeted for extinction because of the supposed "betrayal". The only problem with this is that the PLO will of course try to blame it on Israel.

[Southern Federalist]

some irresponsible reporting has been creeping in lately

I had not noticed the story you pointed to. Sounds more like someone didn't do their homework than a slant problem. Anyway, given the choice, I'll take the Telegraph over Geraldo! And I thought that the statement that the crowd was only large enough to fill a camera lens sounded authentic and not something one would make up.

[Chemnitz]

That's true. Many would like to shoot that table cloth right off his head, but slow humiliation is better.

"I did not have sex with...Bill Clinton! I am faithful to my camel! How dare you make such an accusation!"

[sheik yerbouty]

"Yup! Another booger!"

[HardStarboard]

>>>I don't believe this. Yesterday Geraldo was reporting just the opposite.<<<

Ergo, you believe Geraldo!

Problimatical at best!

Isa 28:18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

Look!!!! he has the Vatican envoy on his side.

Could it be that shared penchant for young boys is what had caused that greasy smiles?...
