There was no deal on these guys. That is why the release took so long. We told Arafat he could let the Israelis have them or give them to us.

He fiddle farted around and decided his freedom was really what was important. Now he is trying to mitigate the damage by what ever means he can think of. It should be interesting to see what he comes up with. The damage is done and we have the perps.

Arafats people will not accept this. I plan to lie back and enjoy the show!

The monitors are U.S. and British civillians. They are trusted government contractors. Not U.N. weenies!

I never said they where wenies. This compound is not a jail or prison but was a command post originally use by the British. The original deal called for all six to be jailed but at the last minute before they got in the jeeps Arafat as he always done broke the agreement he had made 48 hrs. before and said that the two top aides where not to be treated like the other four because they had not been tried. These are the ones that planed the assassination and imported the ship load of weapons from Iran.

The men guarding them are unarmed non-military people who Arafat said according to the agreement had no authority over them except to observe. How many times have our politians placed our soldiers in position to guard something with no authority and with empty guns. Do you really think they are going guard them 18 yrs.? Also why no cameras allowed inside the building? Look for them to escape, have a mock trial and be found not guilty, or as I said just set up office and direct their terrorist operations from there.

Arafat has been making fools out of the U.S. administration leaders for years and he isn't going to stop now. If GW would have just stuck to his guns, i.e. "you're either with us are with the terrorists", and backed Sharon and let him clean out that nest of vipers it would have been over now. Then we could have moved in and set up some interm leaders of the real palistinians that really live there and want a peaceful fruitful co-existence with Israel.

Instead we're going to re-establish the butcher- dictator Arafat and his camel mafia, give him a half billion of our tax payer dollars so he can get another 40,000 SS troops to stomp out any resistance to his brutal dominance over the half starved people he's using to establish his kingdom. Then he'll use his state and our tax dollars as a means to set up a base of operations and staging area to launch attacks Israel. If we don't stop helping Israel deal with their terrorist problems, pretty soon they'll have to attack us in self defense.

I have been a bit out of pocket today, I have not seen much news and the weekend stuff is usually just repeats.

As to MSNBC, I would be very carefull speading their spew because they tow the Pali line and spead their bull. This looks to me like a continuation of Arafats denile to his own people that he made no deal when he actually did.

Just hold your horses because things are going to get dicey in Camp Arafat.
