Palistinian Authority Honors Murderer of U.S. Troops

Four American soldiers were killed by a suicide bomber driving a car bomb in Iraq yesterday - and the Iraqi Vice President has warned that that's "only the beginning." The attacker, dressed in civilian clothes, drove a taxi to a checkpoint near the city of Najaf, waved to the soldiers, and then detonated his bomb as they approached. The Iraqi government awarded the suicide murderer, a soldier in the Iraqi army, two posthumous medals for his act, as well as the equivalent of $35,000 for the terrorist's family.

The Palestinian Authority, world leader in producing such suicide murderers, showed its admiration for the attack by renaming the main square in a Jenin neighborhood in the northern Shomron in memory of the murderer.

Also yesterday near Basra, two Iraqis flagged down several U.S. soldiers and said they were members of the Saddam Fedayeen paramilitary group and had been ordered to conduct suicide bombings against U.S. and British troops. A CNN correspondent who saw the incident said that the Iraqis told the Americans they had taken off their uniforms and wanted to surrender because they did not want to die for Saddam Hussein.

In Kuwait today, between 10-15 American soldiers were injured when a truck ran them down near an American army base. U.S. Commander Tommy Franks called it an "attack, not an accident."

Lets hope Bush remembers this when Iraq is finished and the pali problem is still to be dealt with.

The PA is such a bunch of morons. They want our help in bringing about a "free. independent Palestine" but honor this barbaric enemy of freedom. Then they pathetically complain that we don't take them seriously. No, we don't. Why would we?

First cut off the money.

Then, cut their throats.

What time is it ?

We should indict, try, and execute Yasser Arafat for the murder of American diplomats.

The Roadmap to Peace needs to meet the Bulldozer from Hell.

Palestine is a lie.

[joesnuffy]

So has Peter Arnott by his action imo

[gcruse]

There seems to be an undercurrent of Pali sympathy in government no matter which party is in power. I don't understand it. I just chalk it up to cynicism on my part.

Please pardon my ignorance but is this Arutz 7 a reputable publication? Because if it is . . . the palestinians will be told now is not the time to piss off Americans. Peter Arnett has struck a chord and we're mad as hell and more than willing to take on all comers. Some of us feel we have forsaken some of our all-weather friends like Israel because of the politically correct and liberal madness that has taken root in the U.S. We're taking our country back.

Americans have historically been hard to anger . . . but the same history also shows we're not easily mollified until wrongs are righted.

palestinians, by the way, is NEVER capitalized in my house -- not until they rid themselves of the world's biggest terrorist. It wasn't a typo.

As far as anyone can tell, they are legitimate. The Knesset and various leftwing Israelis have tried to shut them down numerous times. They have always managed to bet back on the air.

The Israeli courts have upheld their right to broadcast and as such are as legitimate as Maariv, or Haaretz.
