Would you buy a used intefada from this man?
Palestinian President Yasser Arafat says he will accept any government changes proposed by his prime minister, as militants demanding anti-corruption reforms keep up a campaign of unrest. Prime Minister Ahmed Qurie, widely viewed as a moderate voice in the Palestinian Authority, has led calls for reform and submitted his resignation to Arafat last week over the issue. "I accept anything he presents and I have high confidence in him," Arafat, who has rejected Qurie's resignation, told reporters in the West Bank city of Ramallah. Arafat, who dismissed reports of problems between Qurie and himself, said he also welcomed a proposal by Palestinian lawmakers to replace some ministers.

Reality, Rooters-style. There are only "militants" and "gunmen" in PaleoLand.

Pshaw, be brave and use some real ethanol.

The only reason Arafat is agreeing to this is because he is unfamiliar with the actual definition of the word "reform."

#3  Yup, that's what I was pointing to - but Google's got some strange HTML games going on - sorry. When I want something from there in the future I'll grab it and point to my own copy.

I thought his devious ugly mug helped make the point, heh.
