#1 Oh, so it's his money? Thanks for clarifying that, Yasshole. I'm sure your people are glad to hear it.

#3 Yassar's days are numbered. Perhaps some Saudi like Prince Ramalama Ding Dong will help this worthless man out.

#5 b) they can no longer be forced by their commanders and Arafat to engage in terrorists activities in order to feed their families.

I can see them carrying cardboard signs saying "will jihad for food".

#6 "theyâll finish me off along with the entire Palestinian resistance movement." And why is there a need for a resistance movement? All they have to do is play nice and they get a country? Kudos to the EU (and France) for making a stand against PLO corruption. I bet Arafat's gang had a hissy fit when they found out they would be able to skim off the pay anymore. BRILLIANT! Hit them where it hurts: in the wallet!

#7 The whole paleojoke needs to be crushed. Arafart will make a major mistake in the next couple of weeks, as things get desperate. That should be the key to both Israel AND THE UNITED STATES to take out not only the PA, Arafart, HAMAS, and Al Fatah, but all their links, "secret" bank accounts (I'm sure Israel knows where every one of them is), and the whole paleoslime joke. Export them to their country of origin, or dump them in Saudi Arabia. When SA complains, teach them to play "catch" with JDAMS.

I think the entire free world should follow Georgia's lead, declare "Wahabbism" in all its forms as a terrorist organization, and ban it from the entire world. Then, when we build up the 25th Infantry, the 8th Infantry, and the 4th Armored to full strength, strike sount from Iraq, cross the Negev to hit them from the northwest, and land all along the Red Sea beaches. Only, don't plan to stop short of the port of Aden, so we get ALL the nasties.

#8 There are no 8th Infantry or 4th Armored divisions in the Regular Army or the National Guard as far as I know.

#10 ..Arafat has come to believe that that the Americans are using the bank account stratagem as a tool to be rid of him.

The alternative scenario (and not altogether an undesirable one) would be a bullet to the back of his head.

#11 Sarge, there certainly were such divisions in the past, but they have long since been demobilized. These pages refer to veterans organizations. There aren't any Active, NG, or Reserve division HQ's by these names right now.

#12 The aquarium of the Nobel Prize winner Arafish is now being officially drained. It's all over but the flopping, IF the EU fund dispensing benefactors keep withholding the money. Arafish's empire, like all terrorist outfits, runs on a money stream. Dry up the stream and the 'fish dies. This applies to all of them. Anything else is treating the symptoms.

#13 Appropriately enough, it's the Al Capone angle that the US is playing here. Indite him on financial grounds if he's too slippery-and-a-half on other fronts.

What the t-men did to Capone, the US government is doing to organized crime in the Middle East.

It's good to see that they're thinking "outside of the box" on a number of the Middle East's previously intractable problems.

#14 buwaya, I must be getting old! Yes these units are now deactivated.

#15 AP I long for the day when Arafish is put on the artifical gill.

#16 Perhaps 8th Infantry and 4th Armoured are divisions in First US Army Group, under General Patton. And just about ready to hit the beaches some day soon.

#17 Shipman---bullheads do not qualify for the artificial gill. Check out the bullhead link.

#18 Maybe Arafat can start selling his furniture, the way the jihadis in America had to start doing after 9/11. ;-) hehehehe
