#1 would be too bad if one of the up-and-comers in the Paleo armed society decided Arafat had lived/stolen long enough?

Naaaahhhhhh

#2 Huh. I guess they aren't martyrs after all, just common mercenaries, not freedom fighters. Apparently they don't love death more than we love life, they love money. Anyone know how to do a diagonostic on a surprise meter? My needle must be stuck on zero.

#3 Almost any time there are a bunch of thugs and thieves in cahoots somebody gets pissed about the money. One party or another decides he is not getting his fair share and eliminates the other. The other reason for a falling out is power. One party decides he's not got his fair share of it.

#4 Scott R---Since their real agenda is out, they should rename their outfit the Al Aqsa Mercinary Brigade. Hmmm....just does not have the Martyrs ring to the name.

It is very entertaining to see the dogs argue over the bones and start nipping at the master. Kinda like watching an Aardman Animations claymation flick. Popcorn anyone?

#5 Splain to me the difference between Al Fatah and La Cosa Nostra?

#6 Fatah last names don't always end in vowels?

#8 La Cosa Nostra does have some moral standards.

#9 With a predictability factor approaching unity this little gem is merely good for a laugh. The only people they are fooling is themselves. Well, that and most of Europe.
