#1 Debka==Salt to taste.

Arafart is not going anywhere. If he leaves the Koresh compound, Israel is not going to let him back in. Arafart wants to go as a martyr.(snicker>LOL>ROFLMAO) That means the 20-30 terrs holed up in the Koresh compound is going down, toes up.

#3 Everything reported in this world should be salted to taste, Debka needs no more than the rest.

I've kept a skeptical but steady eye on Debka for the past few years. I'm confident to say I am most comfortable to put at least as much, if not more, stock in their reports compared to most any other of the media sources.

#6 Lastest from Debka, salt as you would any other news dish--

Six Tunisians doctors arrive in Ramallah Saturday to examine Arafat who has broken Ramadan fast.

DEBKAfile’s Palestinian and intelligence sources report Arafat needs gall bladder surgery but his physicians more worried about recurring acute intestinal infection. The old Ramallah compound isn't smelling so good right now with those WMD poops. Definitive diagnosis calls for his removal to overseas hospital. Sharon under American and European pressure to permit not only his departure but also his return to Ramallah.

Go Fat Lady go! Sure he can leave, and sure he can come back.... in a casket! Surely a paleostani arafat funeral would give us some good slogan chanting, seething and ululating for our viewing enjoyment, and expand the IDF's target selection!

#7 The Arafish has held up in Ramallah the best that he can. He knows that by leaving he will be out of power, so he has stayed on in his little dump. Now he is physically paying the price, and time is running out. My only question is: will the IDF mount a special forces operation to recover the RED FOLDER before someone else gets it??????

#8 Also, I think that American pressure is just public words to sooth the minds of total idiots. The US has no use for the Arafish.

#9 As a humanitarian gesture, perhaps the IDF could create a sterile surgical area at the Muqata utilizing the Zionist Death Ray™?

#10 Six Tunisian doctors are due in Ramallah...

Maybe they could get Suha to come down too. Then they could shrink them all down and inject them. They could call it "Disgusting Voyage"...

#11 hasn't Arafat announced that he wants to be buried in Jerusalam (al-Quds-whatever the Moslem invaders call it)?

#13 Could Arafat's last political act be his endorsement of John Kerry?

#14 Kalle,
You are right. He wants to be buried in Jerusalem. But, Sharon will NOT allow Arafat to be buried in Jerusalem. I think Arafart's burial will look something more like this.

#15 It is Halal for a Christian to pray for evil to befall another.

Praying for Justice? THAT'S A DIFFERENT MATTER!

#16 In defense of pigs:

One day in New York City
when the lights they looked so pretty
I was walking down the street in tipsy pride
No one I was distrubing
as I lay down by the curbing
And a pig came by and lay down by my side
As I lay there in the gutter
Thinking thoughts I could not utter
A lady passing by was heard to say
"You can tell a man who boozes
By the company he chooses"

And the pig got up and slowly walked away

#18 Can't be soon enough for me.

When he croaks, the IDF ought to seal off the Paleos until their civil war is over.

#19 Alaska Paul, in the decades that have passed since I learned this bit of doggerel, you are the first I've ever seen to quote it besides myself. Congratulations! My version is a little different and I blame it upon having learned it from "The Rugby Joke Book" that my friend brought back from Europe as a gift to me in the sixties. The second verse is a rough approximation, but the first is true to form.

One evening in October
when I was far from sober
to keep my feet from wandering, I tried.
My legs were all aflutter
so I lay down in the gutter
when a pig came up and lay down by my side.

We sang, "Never mind the weather
just as long as we're together,"
when a lady passing by was heard to say.
"You can tell a man who boozes
by the company he chooses."
And the pig got up and slowly walked away.

Slowly walked away, slowly walked away.
Yes, the pig got up and slowly walked away.

On cattle shows I've centered
in one a pig I entered
being tired I lay down with him by my side.
My rest, disturbed by noises
that turned out to be some voices
I looked up and Greta Garbo caught my eye

She said "What a lof'ley fella."
As she poked me with her umbrella
then she turned and whispered to her friend, "I say,
you don't suppose that other
just might be his brother?"
And the pig got up and slowly walked away.

Slowly walked away, slowly walked away.
Yes, the pig got up and slowly walked away.

#21 Zenster! We be soul bro's

Alaska Paul, permit me to consider such an appellation a privilege. Never having been farther than a 100 mile canoe trip through the Bowron lakes, Alaska is on my list of places to visit farther north. I'd be honored to buy the first round should the chance present itself. You've demonstrated a consistently well-thought-out, yet appropriately intolerant attitude towards terrorism and the corruption that spawns it. Would that any of our politicians exhibited such a deft understanding of the situation. Skoal!

#22 I wonder if any other countries have full field hospitals, including sterile surgical suites, similar to those of the US military.

If they do, it's surprising none has been deployed on Arafat's behalf ...

Sadly, medically indicated euthanasia is still unpopular in the United States.
