Palestinians Say They Would Support Iraq If US Attacks

Almost 80 percent of Palestinians said they would support Iraq if it is attacked by the United States, according to the results of a poll released on Friday. The Palestinian Center for Public Opinion asked 1,000 Palestinian adults if they would support Iraq - as they did in 1991 - in the event of another U.S. attack. Fifty-one percent said they "strongly agree" that Palestinians should support Iraq; 28.3 percent said they "somewhat agree;" 6.9 percent said they lean against such support; and 9.6 percent said they didn't know.

The poll was conducted in March but was not released at the time because of "difficulties" facing the Palestinians, said Dr. Nabil Kukali, president of the PCPO, based in Beit Sahour, near Bethlehem. The results were published now, given Iraq's higher profile in the media, Kukali added.

Chalk up another piece of evidence for the stupidity of the Palestinian people. Do they honestly think that Iraq can beat the US ?

I'd love to be a bookie for these morons; you'd make a killing.

Imagine they're no Saudis,
No Iraqis or Iran,
No Syrians to kill us,
Or Palies with bombs on,
You may say that I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one,
Some day I hope you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

So this poll puts them in the same position as John Walker Lind and the Taliban. And what is the U.S., U.N. and E.U. response? Funnel more aid to these terrorists. The Religion Of Evil ("TROE") is winning this war on terrorism.

Agreed. These guys have been butt-brothers since day one.

Who gives a damn what the Palestinians think.

This is indeed a "blessing in disguise".

As confessed allies of our enemy, they become our enemy as well.

They better have a whole lot of virgins waiting in paradise.

And they also supported Iraq when Iraq invaded Kuwait. In fact, some of them were acting as an Iraqi 5th column inside Kuwait.

These creatures are irredeemable.

Er, and this is news for exactly WHAT reason?

HINT: The PLO supported Iraq in the 1991 Gulf War, even as Jordan, Saudi and others supported the U.S.

Oh god, we're going to have to face the army formally known as "the 6th largest" and the great Palestinian sling-shot corps together.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
