U.S. ambassador to the UN: Washington won`t support assassination or expulsion of PA Chairman Yasser Arafat

[yonif]

Once again, the US is protecting this mass murderer terrorist.

Therefore, we have set a double-standard throughout the globe. The Bush Doctrine apparently only applies to the actions of the United States (and maybe Britain and Australia).

U.S. ambassador to the UN: Washington won`t support assassination We won't support it but there will be one helluva a barbque in Texas.

and Governor Joe Davis is offering exile sanctuary in Sacramento...

[stevem]

Let's face it, Israel has no stomach for the job of killing Arafat, anyway. That nonsense last week was a mere trial balloon.

I can't understand why the US wants to keep Arafat alive while targeting Hussein and bin Laden. They are all cut from the same bolt of cloth. It's just another chink in the armor of the Bush Administration. It makes you think they are only half heartedly fighting the war on terror.

Otherwise, why not kill one of the most active terrorists of them all?

ISRAEL AFTER CONTINUOUS ISLAMIC TERROR

Washington won`t support assassination or expulsion of PA Chairman Arafat

That's too bad. But neither did Washington say they would have a hissy fit if Arafat is given an early exit to Hell. Publicly, they say one thing, while privately hoping he's gone tomorrow.

I will merrily dance at Arafat's death. He is EVIL incarnate. But it will be a private celebration, out of sight. I still have visions of the Palestinians "street" dancing and cheering on September 11, 2001. And you can bet Arafat was grinning ear-to-ear that most foul of days.

Somebody needs to find out why we are coming down on the wrong side of this Arafat situation... Arafat should be immediately arrested and put on trial the next day and shot the third day. None of this makes any sense, including Israel's lack of decisive action. They are beginning to look totally stupid and moronic. There may be a minor flare-up; but, the Arabs respect only one thing..."Brute Strength". Israel needs to hurt them and hurt them bad.

Question...

If a large explosion were to take place, and it killed Arafat --- who the hell could say WHO did it?

Bombs are going off all the time in that cockroach haven.
"Work accidents" happen all the time....
There must be thugs within Hamas or some other cockroach den with a grudge against, or jealousy over the fortune Arafat has stolen.....

Surely we could blame it on one of those clymers....

Anyway...regardless of the consequences --- Arafat MUST be killed - soon.

Semper Fi

[Robert_Paulson2]

looks to be so.

Why is this?

[yonif]

They don't want to lose Arab "friends."

[tubavil]

The stage is set:

-Israel refuses to defend itself.
-Worldwide condemnation of Israel.
-Arabrat is center stage, as powerful as ever.
-Pallies are energized.
-Bush abandons Israel.
-The press has a field day at Israel's expense.

[Wild Thing]

I will never understand this, NEVER! This is a new form of treason to a loyal friend Israel! I just don't understand.

US to Veto UN Arafat Safety Resolution
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/983726/posts

Actually the US did Veto it. 11 voted in favor, Britian, Germany and Bulgaria abstained

[tubavil]

Great. Now Bush can refuse to reward the biggest killer of Jews since hitler with his own terror state.
