IDF Military Intelligence chief Major General Aharon Ze'evi said Sunday that Arafat is biding his time until November, in hopes that U.S. President George W. Bush will lose his bid for re-election and Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's government will fall by then, Army Radio reported.

And Arafat isn't alone.

Terrorists the world over are praying for a Kerry win.

Arafat -- one of the "foreign leaders" supporting Kerry.

Why am I not surprised?

Can't possibly be. Kerry keeps saying that he's tough in the War on Terror. This would imply that Arab leaders think if the Dems take power in November, that the US will go back to pandering and empty posturing.

My first thought as well. Exactly who are these leaders, Mr. Kerry? Arafat? Mugabe? Chavez?

Well this is a shock. W only said he wanted Arafat to step down and that Arafat was not a force for peace. You'd think the man could take a little constructive criticism </sarcasm>

"Arafat -- one of the "foreign leaders" supporting Kerry."

Hollywood idiots and the liberal left don't seem to have a problem with that either. They hate Bush so much that they are willing to give America away to terrorists.

Arafat can't wait to be back in the white house again.......never will happen if our President overcomes the media bias and the outright lies being reported day in and day out by America's enemies in our country.

Any sensible person would have assumed that.

The key thing today is that we have a published record
of Israeli Military Intel affirming the suspicion.
Haaretz doesn't seem to be as flaming liberal as JPost,
but they're no Debka. The story is credible.

I've also alerted Drudge. We'll see where it goes.

OBL died, and Berger hid him in his underware. He is now in a freezer in Klintoon's basement, to be "discovered" on the coffee table next to the Rose Lawfirm Billing Records after the eleciton.

That's a double-edge sword. Entirely apart from Dems
squawking about the timing ....

The capture of OBL would also allow the party of surrender
to declare that the WoT is over, and now we need a peacetime
president who can continue the glorious march of liberalism
into poverty, slavery and death (or something like that :-)

The Big Capture ideally needs to happen either a few days
before the election, or after it.

Let the Dems have their moment under the lights. I'd kinda
like to see no distractions, so that when they get no bump,
they'll have no one else to blame (of course, they'll find
someone to blame, but it will be obvious reaching).
