>Talk about a bunch of idiots! I say the Palestinians are too stupid to deserve their own country.

That's a good point. But if it were implemented, what would happen to America? I mean, Klinton got elected, and then re-elected...

Memo to all Suicide Bombers: Recent video tape indicates your masters find GREAT AMUSEMENT in your noble endeavors. Live from Ramallah, IIIIITTTTSSSS Saturday Night!!!! Look at him Achmed, kablooooooie HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. DJEW see that splatter pattern. Way better than Abdullah Abdullah's.

I guess they won't be eligible for "worker's comp", eh?

[Real Cynic No More]

You know, when you drive through a construction site that is using explosives, there's a sign that says "Turn Off 2-Way Radios." The reason for this is that radio waves can inadvertantly set off blasting caps.

I wonder if it is possible to transmit signals over varying frequencies to set the terrorists' explosives prematurely?

Another "work accident".

[American in Israel]

They set Zinni up by calling for a meeting with Arafat so they knew his route. Still they "blew" it. What idiots. Bet Zinni was not happy with Arafat for this one. Tends to make a Marine a bit pissed off trying to kill him.

Would have liked to see Arafats face when Zinni walked in the door.

Good idea. Transmitters all over the place. Soon as Achmed arms his bomb.....BOOM!

Problem is that when they finally catch on to this they'll just wait to arm the bomb when they get to their target.

who in their right mind

It's even better then that: "several cylinders leaked and one of the workers, called Khaled, 16, lit a cigarette which caused it to catch fire," the Palestinian Authority said in a statement.

I guess these suicide bombers are a little over-eager to get to Allah...

[xm177e2]

The Palestinian driver was killed in the explosion. There were no other casualties.

They don't understand, get NEAR your target before you blow yourself up!

[Map Kernow]

Do you get 72 virgins if it's an accident?

Accidental "martyrs" get only one 72 year old virgin.

Nothing good comes from Ramallah!

[bushfamfan]

Obviously, they were trying to target Zinni. Arafat has made a very serious mistake and it looks to be pretty clear he and his abhorrent beasts are running out of time.

[RightWhale]

Palestinians said the blast was an accident

An accident waiting for a place to happen. Do not smoke near leaking gas containers. This one really was a careless accident. Preventable, too.

Arrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhh! You're not allowed to use logic against me! :-)

Don't remind me that this country elected Clinton twice no less. I want to believe that the elections were rigged (and there may be some of that), but when I talk to my sister-in-law (a smart lady who loses brain cells going giddy over Clinton), I just don't get it. How can a intelligent woman buy into all that crap?

Still, for all her giddiness and dumb politics, she is NOT about to strap explosives to her chest and blow herself up in an effort to make a point. So unlike the PA, I consider her salvagable.
