Ooooh. This should be good... The document lists financial demands for ceremonies honoring suicide bombers as well as money to support families of the suicide bombers. Well, we knew they were subsidized. Those funerals cost a lot. Anything more? The fifth article of the document lists demands for producing explosive devices: "The cost of supplying electronic and chemical components for explosive devices and bombs - this was our largest expense. The cost of preparing a bomb is at least NIS 700. We need to equip five to nine bombs each week for our cells in various locations. NIS 5000 times four weeks equals NIS 20,000." Careful where you're stepping. My jaw's down there somewhere. They're real terrorist masterminds to leave this kind of incriminating stuff lying around. Article seven of the document details the "cost of 3,000 bullets for Kalachnikov rifles at a cost of NIS 7.5 per bullet, and 30,000 bullets for M-16 rifles at a cost of NIS 2 per bullet. We need the immediate transfer of funds so as to make the purchase - NIS 22,500 for Kalachnikov bullets and NIS 60,000 for M-16 bullets." And this is the daily housekeeping of terror. You can price out how much your revolution's gonna cost with this. Alongside the document were comments and calculations carried out by Shubeiki's office. So they can't say it's just something they found lying around at the bus station and took back to the office to have a closer look at... Colonel Miri Eisen... estimated Tuesday that Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat never signed documents tying him to the terrorist activities of various organizations, but that Shubeiki's signature, who is part of Arafat's inner circle, testifies to the PA's involvement in acts of terror. He never signs personally, but that degree of plausible deniability is pretty implausible. Shubeiki was the individual who financed the purchase of the Karine A weapons ship from Iran in December 2001. Thought he got fired? Arrested him and everything. Also seized in Shubeiki's office during the raid were hundreds of thousands of counterfeit shekels, which according to military estimates, were to be used to purchase explosives. The Palestinian Authority stated that the counterfeit money seize in Arafat's Ramallah headquarters had been seized by Palestinian preventative security forces and belonged to Palestinian criminals that had collaborated with Israeli felons. Yeah. Prob'ly got it from them damn' Jews. If this wasn't so serious it'd be hilarious. The only possible explanation for this sort of stuff that doesn't equate the PA to terrorism requires redifining terrorism into something so outlandish it bears no relationship to reality. Even the OIC meeting couldn't manage that, though the PA and their apologists are trying, and looking goofier and goofier. A long time ago, a guy named Paul Balor pointed out that "Revolutionary" organizations have one common failing...they all have an addiction to their own printed material and will salt away everything from El Jefe's laundry lists to the Grand Secret Master Plan. When they have a headquarters they believe is secure, this effect snowballs. I don't think Professor Moriarty had the same problem. Now there was a Criminal Mastermind! |
