Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has committed himself to announcing dates for presidential, legislative and local elections, but the process is still fraught with potential logistical and political pitfalls, officials say.

"Holding elections will be difficult with the Israeli army inside the West Bank and Gaza, but we will tackle that problem once we have a date for the elections," said Mohammed Shtayieh, former head of the election central committee.

Palestinian elections? Oh look, I think I see pigs flying!

[Paleo Conservative]

I wonder if they will have initatives and referenda?

And Im sure they will adhere to all election rules laid out prior to this sham event. Terrorism will always rule the day in any area the murderer Arafat is in.

Hahaha...Palestinian...Hahaha...elections...Hahaha...this...Hahaha...stuff...Hahaha...doesn't get...Hahaha...any better!

They're killing me!

The only position Arafat should be assuming is the "Hands on the wall and spread'em!"

Arafat will assume leadership wheather he is elected legally or not.Personally I feel he would ideal for the Chief Dogcatcher spot that just opened up in the new PA Government.
