#1 Arafat is playing the war of attrition against Israel with this little bone, like he has done for, well, generations now. No more blown up children and women. It has to end, NOW.

The Arafish is irrelevant, sitting in his heavily depreciated HQ. Pay him no mind and get on with business. If we acknowledge him, this cycle of violence will keep going on.

Keep up the heat on Hamas and be done with it.

#2 on, as usual AP - Arafish's ploys to stay influential is the death knell for Abbas and the "Road Mapâ¢", which has had more setbacks and detours than even I expected. I really hope this was a Bush "I really tried, but those Paleos don't want peace" move

#3 I sure hope that this is Bush's Last and Best Tryâ¢, Frank. I hope that you are right. If this was the US taking the punishment, Arafat would be fish fertilizer, instead of staring bug-eyed out the window of his Villa Ramalla.

#4 Yasser is a majician. Best to ignore what he says and does totally. If Abbas does about four effective thngs in a row, shoot Arafat immediately and anonomously. From there see where the momentum takes us.

#5 Let's make a deal, Arafat: We'll hit 'em high, you hit 'em low, and we'll flush the bastards out twice as fast. Right up your alley. Whatd'ya say?

If the Israelis fall for THIS, then they will be an honorable mention for the Darwin Awards.

#6 LMAO! Now way is ARAFART going to arrest anyone (unless they oppose him). Lobbing a couple of Big Blues into his compound would do wonders for peace.
