YOU THINK SPAIN GOT HARDBALLED...:
Statement by the President (November 10, 2004)
The death of Yasser Arafat is a significant moment in Palestinian history. We express our condolences to the Palestinian people. For the Palestinian people, we hope that the future will bring peace and the fulfillment of their aspirations for an independent, democratic Palestine that is at peace with its neighbors. During the period of transition that is ahead, we urge all in the region and throughout the world to join in helping make progress toward these goals and toward the ultimate goal of peace.Posted by Orrin Judd at November 11, 2004 12:01 AM
Odd... it's almost as if that statement could be interpreted in more than one way... hmmmmmmmm...

Posted by: Uncle Bill at November 11, 2004 9:13 AMThat should be "stupid ignorant chimp WHO STOLE THE ELECTION!"
Anyway, with Arafat now officially dead and no clear successor, the real fun begins: Struggle For The Throne.
The Palestinian Civil War can now go very hot.
Looks like the Israelis finished The Wall just in time.
Please tell me no administration official is going to attend this cretin's funeral.
