Terrorist says orders come from Arafat (Al-Aqsa leader admits it!)

A leader of the largest Palestinian terrorist group spearheading suicide bombings and other attacks against Israel says he is following the orders of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

''Our group is an integral part of Fatah,'' says Maslama Thabet, 33, a leader of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade. Fatah, headed by Arafat, is the largest group in the Palestinian Authority, the government of the autonomous Palestinian territories.

''What do you think? That we are just a bunch of gangs?''

Terrorist says orders came from Arafat.

There's a revelation.

Was there ever any doubt?

We do have a right to be upset at Bush. Whether it's steel tariffs (ok there are many conservatives who like that), amnesty for illegal aliens, the gutting of the education and stimulus bills...and this stupid palestinian terror state

[brat]

There is one deadly serious thing to contemplate, however: The United States is not in propnecy. So either we turn and join the NWO, or we're destroyed to the point that we don't count.

"...attempted to hang the body of one from a rooftop overlooking the traditional birthplace of Christ but were prevented by Palestinian police.".......at least they're smart enough to know they musn't tick off the USA.

Yet Israeli soldiers are being ordered to leave Ramallah??

Yes- the U.S. probably wants to nuke the place!

[agrace]

Yep, agreed.

[Mixer]

Yes- the U.S. probably wants to nuke the place!

Wishful thinking. Let's keep hoping they get rid of the PA and Arafat sooner then later.

Savage had a great line the other day...He said that he agreed with the liberals that there is no left wing bias...there's no bias...it's out and out treason on the part of the media

A 2002 article, a blast from the past:

Terrorist says orders come from Arafat (Al-Aqsa leader admits it!)

Here is a Sept. 2003 article:

"The United States does not support either the elimination of him or the exile of Mr. Arafat ... the Israeli government knows that," Powell said in an interview from Baghdad with "Fox News Sunday."

And here is US foreign policy (Arafat exempted I guess):

I laid out a doctrine a while ago, and it said if you harbor a terrorist, if you feed a terrorist, you're just as guilty as the terrorists. I meant what I said. And so did our nation.

Add to that the hundreds of millions we sent Arafat every year as well.
