#1 Makes sense to me...

#2 While difficult to prove, AIDS is still too good for Arafat. He needs to die from something far more painful, like a gut shot. However, if proof positive is available that Arafat was, indeed, camp as a row of tents, the Arab world should be made aware of it.

Arafat's particular brand of moral cancer cannot possibly rule out something so benign as AIDS. Such a diagnosis would only serve to point up his long-ago departure from any sort of traditionally acceptable Arab behaviour. Instead, we must face one simple fact; Arafat represents a mindset so corrupt as to make cancer, AIDS, ebola and the flesh-eating virus combined all look like underachievers by any standard measure.

Let us rejoice in Arafat's (most painful) death. It could not come any sooner, regardless of whatever the IDF might suggest.

#3 I don't know about rejoicing in a most painful death, seems still like pushing ones Karma envelope. But the thing that stands out to me is how bad the values of the paleo population must be to look to this maggot as a hero. Don't get me wrong---My sympathy meter zeroed out with the Paleos after they decided to fight and raise hell after getting almost the whole meal deal at Oslo. The problem is that Arafat has promoted whole generations now into a dead end, and it will take a new generation or two to unf**k the humanitarian and psychological mess that the Arafish left.

What a legacy! Buried in Jerusalem? Fie. Like I said in an earlier posting, he is hospital biohazard waste. Hey, calling the facts as I see 'em.

Alaska Paul, however much I truly respect your own wisdom and sagacious views regarding this world's screwed up circumstances, this is one bullet I'm willing to take for the team.

"Most painful," please. I'll happily take the consequences for us all. My first name is Christopher, and when the first six letters of your name spell "Christ" all further pain is of little or no surprise.

#5 No, but he could have died from it.

#6 I remember Arafat as the leader of the Palestinian terrorist groups who were regularly murdering people across Europe in 1972 and 1973. I was 6 years old then.

The next 32 years have been a continuous, shameful orgy of compromise by the West with that known terrorist chief. Oslo was but one late episode. He should have been killed a long time ago. Like Ceaucescu, like Saddam's sons...

#7 Spot on, Kalle. I have never felt any different about the maggot.

#8 It would be a good thing to have the Paleos have to acknowledge the cause of his death. "Camp as a row of tents"??? LOL!

#9 Is he dead yet? Is he dead yet? Is he dead yet? Is he dead yet?

#10 Deacon Blues, I think he's been dead for a long time. If you ask about the resident incubus departure, probably since wednesday. Phrench want to pull the plug and get rid of the biohazard mass promptly.

#11 Just wondering how many millions of euros Arafat's protracted ICU stay is costing...and curious if that bill will ever be paid, and by whom.

I've heard that Suha has a thing for expensive hospitals. Maybe she'll kick down on the ICU bill out of all those stashed millions of hers.

[cue hysterical laughter]

She's probably out shopping for shoes to wear at her beloved ~~wallet's~~ husband's funeral. Funny how there was no mention of any bedside vigil by her. Too grief stricken, I suppose ...

#13 If the fish died before telling where the money's stashed, *all* the Paleos are going to be shopping at charity shops from now on...

#14 Right-O Tony. And the Swiss will say NOTHING about the accounts until their sorry financial asses are backed against the wall, like the situation with the Nazi victims. Then it is a protracted fight. Moral bankrupts like the Swiss bankers deserve a special place in Hell, like the Arafish. Neutral nation, my ass.

I dunno, AP. I suspect that, while it will take pressure, the gnomes of Zurich will roll over a lot faster than they did before.The Europeans may take a real interest considering who the money is supposed to belong to.
