CBS -- breaks in on the ending of CSI - NY to tell us Arafat is dead! Like.... I care? The last minute of a "who done it" and they delete the ending?
Makes the announcement and goes back, to CSI credits... no ending....
Sheezzzzz CBS, the gateway of the news as we need to know it.
They could at least have just interrupted and continue the program....
One more strike against CBS News.... Keep tellin' myself, separate CBS News from CBS programming..... Hummm.... it's getting harder..

CF. I heard one already on public radio this afternoon. World View with Jerome McDonnell. He interrupted his "all Abu Graib, all the time" programming streak to have an arafat apologist tell us how wrong we arte about him.

From the Commie News Network (CNN) "Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has died at a French military hospital in Paris at age 75, chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat said early Thursday. Arafat had been sick with an unknown illness that had been variously described as the flu, a stomach virus or gallstones. He flew to Paris last week seeking medical treatment and was hospitalized with what Palestinian officials said was a blood disorder."
The guy died of AIDS, the pig was a complete flammer and we will all know it soon enough
EFL.Why don't they just let this pus bag on the ass of humanity get on with his non stop trip to hell and get it over with...
Yasser Arafat has suffered brain damage and kidney and liver failure, the Palestinian prime minister said Wednesday, but a top Muslim cleric ruled out any possibility of life support being turned off. Oh, good. Now the "clerics" have shown up looking for their cut.
French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin said late Wednesday that the Palestinian leader was in his "final hours," telling France-2 television: "I hope that we can respect the final hours of a man who is approaching death." Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...Nah.
Palestinian Foreign Minister Nabil Shaath said Arafat, who was in a deep coma connected to a respirator and a feeding tube, had suffered brain damage because of a hemorrhage. Only his heart and lungs were still functioning, Shaath said. A top Islamic cleric, Taisser Bayoud Tamimi, read Wednesday from the Quran at Arafat's bedside and said no attempt would be made to remove him from life support. "As long as there are signs of life in the body of the president, he will remain under treatment," said Tamimi. "It is prohibited in Islam." "It is prohibited in Islam." All right, "holy man". How much do you want to make it okay by "Islam" to shut him down? We've worked our way around "Islam" many times in the past, haven't we? Continued on Page 49

So it is OK with Islam to hook the Arafish up to a bunch of tubes and respirators? Where is that written in the Koran? Or does some Imam clown issue a fatwa permitting the proceedure until financial negotiations are completed by all parties?
The thing that gets me is that the French play right into this. I am sure that the Islamists look at the French as useful idiots, but the French cannot see this basic principle.

"only his heart and lungs were still functioning". Sounds like he's legally dead.
I'd say he's probably already stinking up the hospital room, but this is France we're talking about.

Ya know folks, the Ululators are still sitting there waiting for their masters to operate them. Kinda of a letdown, waiting so long. Fat Ladies and Accordion Ladies have come and gone. Well, at least the Paleos have given up trying to bury the 'Fish in Jerusalem.
I read an article in Jewish World Review today that the gist was that after the Arafish dies, and the other goons get sorted out, nothing will change in âPalestineâ during the transition from kaffiyehs and holsters to suits and ties. Here is the link. Kinda depressing.

I heard the Suha has settled on a $22Million yearly allowance from Fatah. Now thatâs done I bet she will pulls the plug herself. FYI She aint a Muslim, so those rules donât apply.
YOU DEEPLY COMATOSE PIG! LOOK WHAT YOU'RE MAKING ME GO THROUGH!!! Suha Arafat has rejected a $2 million financial settlement from Palestinian figures acting on behalf of the Palestinian Authority, according to French sources, who are becoming increasingly impatient with the wife of the deeply comatose Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat. HE'LL BE DEAD WHEN I SAY HE'S DEAD!!! AND NOT A HUNDRED MILLION SOONER!!! I'M MRS. ARAFAT, DAMMIT!!!
The settlement was aimed at persuading Suha Arafat to allow completion of the tests that would finally determine the chairman's death. Contacts between Suha Arafat and the Palestinian financiers began as soon as it became clear that Arafat would have to be flown to France for emergency medical treatment. TWO MILLION WON'T COVER MY TWINKIE MONEY!!! COUGH IT UP!!! I'M MRS. ARAFAT!!! WHERE'S THE RESPECT!!!
The French have been exasperated by Suha Arafat's refusal, permissible under French law, to allow others access to he husband's room in the Percy Military Hospital near Paris. I'M HIS "LOVING" WIFE, YOU CHEAP PRICKS!!! I AND ONLY I WILL DECIDE WHEN TO STEP ON HIS OXYGEN HOSE!!! Continued on Page 49

Maybe she should be known as Suha "Tidwell" Arafart.

$2 million could go a long way to properly house, feed, educate or provide adequate medical care for the actual people that the PA is supposed to be supporting. Of course, that kind of thinking might actually provide for a more contented populace, and that would make for a shortage of drooling bloodthirsty, suicide bombers.
Instead, they will publicly try to bribe a woman is obviously already a millionaire, and who already is living off the millions that she and her husband "redirected" from their loyal, unwitting dupe subjects. If she wanted, I'll bet she could counter-offer them $10 million -cash- to get off her back.
Sick, evil, twisted, pathetic people, the whole lot of 'em.

Good in the sack? Anybody ever seen a photo of Yasser? I suppose if you get off on slobbery-lipped, chapparal skinned, hatchet-faced old terrorists...She shoulda met with Anna Nicole to set up her sugar daddy deal-at least he wasn't a terrorist.
;)
#8
Jules, I think the comment was a reference to M. Pierre Rizk, Suha's "constant companion" and financial advisor, and former henchman for the PLO's worst enemies in Lebanon, and maybe someone with ties to the Mossad as"good in the sack".
#10
$2 million? Hell, she won't settle for less than $2 billion.
A year.
I'm guessing she'll meet with an unfortunate "accident" soon. And of course the Paleos will blame Mossad.

2 million is chump change. 22 million is chump change. Arafat has salted away BILLIONS. What the idiotarians fail to grasp is the scale of the thievery by their third world gangster-"liberationist" heroes. When one man controls an entire economy, no matter how small-- Cuba, Palestine, Congo, whatever-- he has his hands on cash flow that totals many billions each year. If he diverts even as little as 5% per annum, he can very easily accumulate a fortune in the billions within a decade. When you consider that gangsters like Arafat, Fidel, Saddam et al typically retain their stranglehold on power for several decades, you quickly see that the numbered accounts, real estate, majority equity stakes etc number in the billions of $$$$$$.
So, oddly enough, Suha's request is actually quite modest compared to the overall hoard. The real question is, who will have his hands on the 99% that will not go to Suha?
#12
To make it more explicit she was spending the last 3 years cuckholding Arafat with someone who has connections with folks who are his nominal worst enemies, folks who are directly responsible for the worst victimization Palestinians have suffered in recent times, the atrocity that is regularly dragged out to claim that Sharon is a war criminal for his INDIRECT role. And to top it off someone who has ties to western intel agencies, POSSIBLY including Mossad. And this woman is maintaining control over Arafats body, and is using it to milk whatever she can get from the Pal leadership.
Really, you couldnt write fiction as good as this. It would be too implausible.
#13
It's actually so wretched that it's beginning to make me furious. Has there ever been a people as badly screwed by their "leader" as the Palestinians? This description of Arafat's family gravesite, literally a stinking shithole, should make everyone recognize the gravity of the crime this disgusting thug has perpretrated. And the victims are not merely the Israelis he slaughtered but his own wretched people-- the ones who, like his sister, have to live in the shithole he created. Here's the link:
http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20041108/wl_mideast_afp/mideast_arafat_burial_041108003230 Unkempt, ankle deep in rubbish and the air thick with flies from the stinking market next door, the Arafat family plot could not be a more inauspicious burial place for the icon of Palestinian nationhood. â¦
Less than 100 square metres with two dozen tombs already in pride of place, a minimum of mourners would be able to crowd the site, stumbling over the roughshod ground to pay their last respects. Hidden behind a cement wall and accessible through a solitary white, metal door encrusted with mud, nothing could be less imposing or more humiliating for a man who is now unlikely to achieve his dream of a Palestinian state with its capital in Jerusalem.
Bin liners, a child's T-shirt and a traditional red keffiyeh (headdress of the type favoured by Arafat) are ground into the dust. Empty crisp bags, milk cartons, plastic bottles and broken glass are strewn across the burnt grass. Overgrown scarlet and white bougainvillia do nothing to sweeten the nauseating stench of rotting fruit and meat, laced with dung from half-dead donkeys tied up in the adjacent market.
Laundry hanging from a run-down high-rise flat flaps over the grave of Arafat's sister, Yussra al-Qidwa, who was laid to rest in August last year, alongside their father.
#14
ah, lex. My fury was expressed after Camp David 2 and after Taba, when i, like other pro-Israel doves, saw that I had been made a fool of, had been betrayed.
I have no fury now. I am enjoying it. Im in a good place, where I can see the humor and the soap opera garishness of it.
I'll almost be sorry when the old terr finally pops off, since that will mean an end to the delicious death saga.
#15
LH: I could not agree more, I have never had so much fun on a deathwatch, Its just to bad that ole Yasser probably is'nt still suffering, that would have made it perfect.
DEBKAfile's Exclusive Report, so add salt. EFL: Suha Arafat's French lawyers and former Palestinian prime minister Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), struck a deal. It fixed the Palestinian Authority's financial obligations to Yasser Arafat's widow and let him finally die unambiguously and in peace at the end of a morbid tug of war between his wife and Palestinian Authority leaders. But this did not happen immediately. The confusion surrounding Arafat's condition for eleven days — officially alive, unofficially dead — was to be sustained a little longer — mainly to save Mrs Arafat's face.
Not that she has much to save, quality wise.
The settlement allowed a funeral to be arranged on "Orphan Friday" of Ramadan, November 12 — unless a new crisis pops up.

$11 million. $22 million. $1.8 million/ month. Pocket change to the "movers and shakers" of the world. So much for Arafat's "beleagured" poor guy, man-of-the-people portrayal. The Clinton's, the Kerry's, Soros, Arafat, etc. -- THEY ARE ALL THE SAME. Difference? Costuming. Is anyone listening?
Commentary By Daniel Pipes, EFL: It is hard to find words adequate to describe the malevolent 40-year long career of the world's longest reigning terrorist. This is a man who fouled his nest in Jordan, Lebanon, and the West Bank and Gaza; a moral monster who fooled the world into thinking he had reformed (remember that Nobel Peace Prize?).Yet his farcical death-scene provides perhaps the appropriate coda to an unworthy life.
... as well as the occasion for innocent mirth...
The end is as preposterous as what came before, only much funnier. First, there is the wife, Suha, a Greek Orthodox convert to Islam who nonetheless continued to observe Christian holidays and now bellows out "Allahu Akbar" as she spends a reputed $100,000 a month living the good life in Paris.
"MINE! THE MONEY'S MINE! I NEED THAT MONEY!"
Then there are the long-suffering minions, hoping to get their day in the sun, free at last of their irascible, unpredictable, domineering leader. Finally, there are the hapless French politicians, stung by their own stupidity in sending a military plane to Jordan to retrieve Arafat to Paris, then treating him like royalty (including a courtesy visit by President Jacques Chirac), only to find themselves parties to his death-bed antics.
"He's dead, Jean-Louis!"
"HE AIN'T DEAD! LOOK! HIS FINGER MOVED! HE'S TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH US! WHAT'RE THE ACCOUNT NUMBERS, YASSER?"
"He's not dead! He hasn't named his successor yet! Yasser! Yasser! Who's gonna succeed you? Blink yer eyes, dammit!"
"Get yer foot off that oxygen hose, dammit!"
"He's been poisoned, you can tell! It wuz them Jews as dunnit!"
"He's brain dead!"
"No he ain't. He's always like that!"
Go read the whole thing.

This is a serious matter. When they stick him in the ground, they need to whack off his head or drive a stake thru his heart or something. Otherwise, his festering undead corpse will walk the earth forever condeming the Paleostinians to a life of perpetual misery, poverty and lack of statehood. Not that they don't deserve it.

I've been too busy lately to comment much on Arafat's demises, but I check every day with a smile on my face, not because I hate the man, but because one of the most terrible men of the 20th century is finally on the way to answering for all of his crimes. Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Hussein, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Ho Chi Minh - the list of terrible men is very lengthy, and I would hesitate to put Arafat too high up there, but the fact remains that he led a people to destitution while filling his coffers by swindling the world while those he waged war upon were condemned for defending themselves. He made a career out of killing the innocent and stealing from those he "represented." Stalin, for all of his atrocities, had the trains running on time. Arafat doesn't even have that. That's not a defense of Stalin, but an indicator of just how much of a loser Arafat is - death, poverty, and a shithole of hatred and lies and poor economic prospects are his legacy. He could only destroy.
My personal suspicion is that, while God must have dismissed Arafat a long time ago, even Satan doesn't want him polluting hell.

'The Palestinian foreign minister, Nabil Shaath, said the 75-year-old Arafat is suffering from kidney and liver failure. Arafat's brain is working only partially because of bleeding, and all his organs except for heart and lungs "are not functioning well," Shaath said in Ramallah, West Bank. '
Yasser Arafat is "in the hands of God", with essential parts of the Palestinian leader's power transferred to two of his aides, Palestinian Foreign Minister Nabil Shaath said in Paris last night. Shaath said an interim government was in place and functioning. He said Arafat has been unconscious and in coma for a whole week. His situation worsened last night when he fell into a deeper coma. Shaath said Arafat was still technically alive because his brain, liver and heart continued to function on a life-support machine.
But there's nobody home, no matter how hard you knock...
There was no question of subjecting the 75-year old leader to euthanasia, Shaath added. The four-man Palestinian delegation that had flown to Paris to decide whether or not Arafat should be declared incapacitated appeared to have completed its mission and left for Ramallah after a lengthy meeting with French President Jacques Chirac.
I'll say he's "incapacitated." He's dead! You can't get more incapacitated than that. All the king's horses and all the king's men won't be able to capacitate Yasser again.
The leadership is expected to announce the new line-up of power within the next day or so, not waiting for an official announcement of Arafat's death.
Which they'll put off until Doomsday if they can...

Palestinians let rip at Yasser Arafat's wife Suha yesterday after she alleged his top lieutenants were plotting a deathbed coup, accusing her of abandoning the nationalist struggle for the boutiques of Paris. The bottle-blonde Suha, who is 34 years younger than the 75-year-old Palestinian leader, had not even seen her husband for nearly three years before flying to his West Bank headquarters late last month and then accompanying him to France for urgent medical care.
I love it when they eat their own...
But Suha has rarely strayed from her husband's bedside since his admission on October 29 to the Percy Military Hospital on the outskirts of Paris, where he has been in a coma since the middle of last week.
WAKE UP, YOU SENILE BASTARD! I WANT THOSE ACCOUNT NUMBERS!
In an emotional appeal to the Palestinian people, Suha said that "a handful of (people) seeking to inherit power are coming to Paris to try and bury Abu Ammar (Arafat) alive. I ask you to look at the extent of the plot." Her comments on the Al Jazeera television network came shortly before Prime Minister Ahmed Qurie, the acting head of his Palestine Liberation Organisation Mahmud Abbas and Foreign Minister Nabil Shaath left for Paris to see for themselves how their leader was faring. But her appeal to the Palestinian public appears to have fallen on deaf ears, with most people denouncing her as a "gold digger" and "deserter".
Other than that, they're actually kinda fond of her...
Israeli and Palestinian officials have reached an agreement in principle on funeral arrangements for the ailing Yasser Arafat, a Palestinian official said as hundreds of Palestinians poured into the streets of the southern Gaza Strip town of Rafah late yesterday after officials said Arafat was suffering a brain hemorrhage. "Senior Palestinian and Israeli officials have reached an agreement in principle on the arrangements to be made after the death of president Arafat," the official said. He refused to give further details about the agreement, and in particular whether Israel had given the go-ahead for the Palestinian leader to eventually be buried in his battered Muqataa compound in the West Bank town of Ramallah. Earlier, a senior Israeli official, who asked not to be named, said that the two sides would hold talks on the issue "in the night".
Fox News just showed video of Arafat's compound being cleaned, they're hauling away all the junked cars and 55 gallon drums. Getting ready to plant the old terrorist, dead or not. Fox also sez they may hold official state funeral in Cairo so "world leaders" don't have to travel to Ramallah. Bet some of the "leaders" attending were worrying about getting popped by a Israeli Hellfire.

Now that the agreement is in hand, I predict that Arafat will be suddenly dead for keeps.
#2
Why not hold it in Ramallah? Any "world leader" stupid enough to attend the funeral of a damned terrorist deserves to be accosted by a Paleoswinian, kidnapped and held for ransom, or dusted by a missile.
The political mouthpiece of the settler movement resigned from Ariel Sharon's coalition government yesterday after the Israeli prime minister refused to bow to demands to put his Gaza pullout plan to a national referendum. "I offered my letter of resignation as planned," Welfare Minister Zeev Orlev told Israeli television. Earlier in the day, Orlev laid out the reasons for his resignation and for the departure of his National Religious Party from the coalition at a press conference in Jerusalem. "We said, if there is a referendum, we will stay in government whatever the result, even if we lose the referendum," he said, acknowledging that the option had been rejected by Sharon. The NRP, one of three parties still in government, had set Sharon a two-week deadline to either call new elections or a referendum on his so-called disengagement plan after it won parliamentary approval a fortnight ago.
