| Palestinians fear worst in case of US war on Iraq |
| 2002-12-31 |
| Hisham Abdallah for Middle East Online Palestinian officials are increasingly worried that Israel will use the opportunity of a US war on Iraq to launch wide scale operations against the Palestinian Authority, sweeping it and its leader Yasser Arafat into exile. "We fear Israel will force president Arafat and the members of the Palestinian administration into exile and displace the population in an internal transfer operation," said Mamduh Nawfal, an adviser to the Palestinian leader. He added that "these operations depend on the American administration's approval... These operations will not be easy and will create an atmosphere of anarchy which will further complicate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict." Lemme see here: They're doing something that'll end up getting them tossed — to whit, killing people indiscriminately. But they don't want to stop, because it feels so good. Maybe the Paleos need therapy... |

| #6 I'm with you, Fred & Frank G. I'd spring for the really good stuff if we could toast Arafatrat's demise! |

| #5 I would end up on CNN, wailing in a drunken stupor, similar to the women Palestinians circa 9-11. |

| #4 Tell you what, Fred. If that happens I'll Paypal you a bottle or two of the good stuff and we can hoist together? I'm sure Steve, Bashir, Chuck, et al would join in a toast or thirty |

| #3 If that happened, I would be quite distressed. I might have to drown my sorrows in cheap champagne for several days... |

| #2 What would be really nice is if Arafat and Yassin both managed to croak somehow when the hostilities begin. |
