I understand that this bulldozer is as big as a house!

They may have a big bulldozer, but they aren't using it on these buildings.....If they were, these building would almost be leveled. And they are not......

Yes, it's wonderful. Now they are using bulldozers to pull down the compound. It's like watching a crack house burn, you have to feel great about it. More Israeli flags need to fly!!! One on top of the Dome of the Rock would be ideal.

I am thinking that they are first examining each room for documents, records and files, things they would not get if they simply blow it up.

CNBC has a golf tourney on. Not highlights, full coverage! This is a pretty poor excuse for a news network.

They are apparently going to take out every building except his office.

While this is a step in teh right direction, the whole 5 Minute business was a lie.

"Yeah, well, we'll enforce the UN's censures right after the UN enforces the UN requirements against Iraq. Iraq was first, after all, and if Iraq can ignore the UN, then so can Israel."

Let's bump it again and see if it gets legs.

This needs to be sent to all Congress-critters who are dragging their feet. The U.N. is an emasculated bureaucracy that is serving very little purpose toward the furtherance of civilization.

LOL!! arafat has a frickin' bulldozer at his office window!

Knock. Knock.

"Hello? Is the occupant here? We have a permit for the demolition of this building. Is anyone home?"

"Looks like nobody's home. Let's start with the north facade..."

You bet, when we heard the five minute deadline thing, we were watching the clock. Waiting....They blew it. Big time. They should have leveled the compound at 5 minutes, one second. They are just playing games as far as I am concerned.....

Awww Steve, why did you have to go and do that?!

Having to look at my Senator in the midst of all this took some of the joy away..... :(

Well, this is something I hadn't heard before, that under Arabfat's compound is a large petrol supply tank so that could be why the Israelis are treading carefully here, I would guess. Just heard that from some aide to yassir on FNC.

Look close at the shot of the crowd on TV..the Muslims have the women leading the parade..cowards hiding behind the women...so IF the women get killed they can whine about that..If the troops will not shoot women they get to parade at will

FNC's Rita Cosby: Hundreds, maybe thousands are headed for Arafat's compound....this is becoming a very volatile situation......

I'm sure the IDF has enough munitions...

If an estimated 200 people are holed up in there it must be pretty darn crowded.

Oh, what a pethetic whiner that aide is. Damn this is entertaining. "We call on the Amerocans to intervene whaa whaa whaa."

Isreal: We will not harm AraRAT.
(But if he chokes on the dust as we take this building down sloooooly, it must have been the will of Allah)
