Hmmmm.... So, let's suppose Bin Laden does have twenty nukes... just as a hypothetical...
Bin Laden manages to detonate at least 2 of the 20 nukes obtained before the triggers decay. Now... I'm no fan of Arafat, but he is a classic "survivor" and will do what needs to be done to stay in control of the PA. He's now in position to hopefully survive what would follow a nuclear strike on the UK and/or the US.
Hmmmm.... what's motivating Arafat to position himself opposite of Bin Laden? Is he afraid of something? Is something going to happen and he has intelligence of it? If he does have intelligence and doesn't share it with the US - he's in denial.
Hey, I can speculate almost as good as DEBKA and the CHEEZEWIZARDS. But don't tell my SISTER. She prefers MOOSE. (she heard an urban myth concerning the size of their feet in relation to other body parts)
That old dog died as the result of Clinton's.... never-mind ;)
