Didn't we release some $100 million to the PLO a few months ago. I'm so glad to know I'm a contributor to Arafat's personal security and retirement fund. (end sarcasm) I just wish he'd return the favor and contribute to my paultry retirement account--that has declined 80% in the recent NASDAQ tumble.

Another bank account is tied to Arafat’s wife, Suha, who for more than a year has preferred to live in Paris, far from the West Bank and Gaza Strip. My source said that in one bitter discussion, Palestinian Council members demanded to know where the $11 billion was hidden.

The PLO chairman’s reply was sardonic:

"If you kill me, you’ll never get it," he said. "It’s my insurance policy."

But how did his secret stash reach $11 billion? Here’s the answer: For years Arafat has been receiving gigantic payments from Saudi Arabia, the Persian Gulf oil sheikdoms and Iraq to finance the PLO.

It seems to me that Mossad and the CIA probably can locate that money, with the help of the French.

Then we have yet another incentive for the Palestinians to remove Arafat. We can show them where the money is.

[JohnHuang2]

Good point.

A "Let them eat cake" bump.

Are we sure he's not simply a CEO instead of the "Chairman" and that they are an incorporated company instead of the "PLO"? Y'all shouldn't be so cynical. Maybe this money is just his golden parachute.

Arafat and company should have been hanged for their war crimes long ago.

[Catspaw]

Boy, did I underestimate Yasser's stash. I thought it was around $4 billion, but he's got almost triple that.

[TwoStep]

**BUMP*

[OldFriend]

Anyone doubt that slick willie and arafat shared some millions from the USA......

"Another bank account is tied to Arafat’s wife, Suha, who for more than a year has preferred to live in Paris, far from the West Bank and Gaza Strip. "

No wonder Hildebeast kissed her.

[OldFriend]

No doubt in my mind that slick willie and Yeltsin shared some of OUR tax dollars too.

[Kermit]

"If you kill me, you’ll never get it," he said. "It’s my insurance policy."

Don't bet on it.

[monkeyshine]

This is comical. The banks know where the money is. If Arafat dies, Israel and the USA will find out where the money is... they probably already know.

How much will they let Sufa keep?

Boy, did I underestimate Yasser's stash. I thought it was around $4 billion, but he's got almost triple that.

I don't see how this toad has so much moolah under his control. My guess would be 1-3 billion which still ain't too shabby. Only problem is this dirty ol' bas***d can't take it with him. And if he starts spending it on his heroic Palestinian pipple too abrubtly, this will catch people's attention.

[dennisw]

Is Suha the Imelda Marcos of the heroic Palestinian pipple?

I heard she has two grand apartments in Paris and one is just full of the her shoes......

......(joking)

[monkeyshine]

No, you heard it wrong. Both of them are full of chit.

"If you kill me, you'll never get it," he said. "It's my insurance policy."

But if we kill him he'll never get it either, as a matter of fact he won't even enjoy what he's got, LOL!
