This is a frank admission that Hamas is a hostile military power, one that is controlled by him.

My advice? Destroy it forthwith,, along with its 'general'.

Once Arafat was as sly as he was ruthless.

It now seems that age has caught up to the freak.

Now he sounds as stupid as he is ugly....and that's a lot!!

[NativeNewYorker]

I actually laughed when I read the headline. A sick, sardonic laugh.

I wonder how Sharon's govt reads the tea leaves on what the likely US reaction would be to an **effective** strike against Hamas, et al.

[cake_crumb]

Hmmmm......Yasser says HE'LL dismantle a TERRORIST group, which specializes in blowing civilian men, women and children to smithereens, when Israel dismantles it's security agency.

Yasser actually owned up to running Hamas. I am astounded. Israel, ask us to come in, do joint ops and blow Hamas and Yasser to smithereens, PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE!!! You want them, we want them...ok. Let's get them.

[I got the rope]

He is now a target of opportunity. If Israel does not kill or capture him...then we should.

"I know what military infrastructure is. Don't forget, you are talking to an army general!"

Talk about an army of one. What army is he general of?

[I got the rope]

BTTT.

Dear Arafat,
"palestine" has never been a country.
You have the ability to be a roaring mouse only thanks to the collusion and financial support of Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq.
Their days are numbered.

Then what are you gonna do?

[LibKill]

Dismantle Ara(pig)fat.

Then clean out the rest of the jihadis.

[CodeMonkey]

All the more argument for the US to stop trying to be everyone's big brother in the region and let the little kids fight...... Let the Israelis make the wrath of the IDF one notch higher on the list of things for the Palis to worry about than the wrath of God.....

[CodeMonkey]

It's time the roaring mouse unceremoniously gets divided into little bits and pieces, cooked and served for dinner by the cat........

[cookcounty]

Accept under the following condition: The first Israeli civilian killed will result in a bomb in Arafat's living room. The second will will result in the demise of Rantisi. The 3rd, Yassin.

Liar, liar, pants on fire! Sorry to be so juvenile, but arafart made me do it.

[Centurion2000]

This is a frank admission that Hamas is a hostile military power, one that is controlled by him.

Killing an enemy army is what the IDF was MADE for .. and he was just stupid enough to give them carte blanche for any operations against them.

"Arafat's national security adviser, Jibril Rajoub, said that the Palestinian leadership was prepared to declare a "general cease-fire," if it was mutual with Israel."

Yeah...just this little statement acknowledges that Arafat has control over the violence being perpetrated. How else can Arafat declare a cease-fire unless he controls the fire.

[yonif]

Don't forget, you are talking to an army general!"

As posters have pointed out correctly, he basically admits to being behind terrorism and that he leads it through the Palestinian Authority terror regime. He and that regime must go.

Another note is that he claims he is a "army" general. Some "army" he has there, one which hides behind civilians, does not wear uniforms, and one who targets Israeli civilians.

[Trailerpark Badass]

This is a frank admission that Hamas is a hostile military power, one that is controlled by him.

And it would appear to open the potential for war crimes charges.

[StriperSniper]

And it would appear to open the potential for war crimes charges.

Yes, where are those folks in Brussels who seem to care so much about these kind of things?
