Your Predictions Here, Please, On Timetable for Israeli Obliteration of Yasser Arafat....

All the Mideast Press thesedays ^ | 23 January 2002 | AmericanInTokyo

[AmericanInTokyo]

My guess? Why, the IDF will drop a few on the Great Toweled-One by the end of the day January 30, 2002 after a few more bloody Hamas/Fatah attacks on soft targets push Tel Aviv over the edge.

Your 'wager'?? (no cash involved)

[AmericanInTokyo]

...could not find the 'vanity post' button, but here goes anyway.

[Catspaw]

Oh, geez, can't you post a picture of Ringo Starr rather than Yasser?

Okay, I'm in the pool. February 12, 2002.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Put me down for never - as much as I would love to see it, I don't think the Israelis will take him down.

[ZOOKER]

It's a sucker bet.

You unwisely assume that a body will be found.

My prediction: Yasser becomes an unperson in early March.

[sheik yerbouty]

Groundhog day. He will go back to his hole and stay there.

[DoughtyOne]

I would have vaporized this guy decades ago. So much for my moderate tendancies.

Israel has new leaders voted in every few years. The Palestinians have been subjegated to Yasser's whims for decades.

In reaction the Europeans and middle-easterners and a few slugs in this nation lament Israel's government and laud the Palestinian's... Yasser.

If those who support Yasser really mean what they seem to be saying, they're living under the wrong systems of governance. They need to move to a place that has a dictator who perpetrates terrorism against his own people as well as his neighbors.

Come on folks, why not live under the policies and government of the man you support?

[Cinnamon Girl]

The way things are going, Israel will continue to bomb abandoned buildings and nothing will happen to Arafat.

[aomagrat]

The Israelis are going to have to do something soon. They are running out of empty buildings to destroy.

[stumpy]

I give him another 59 days.

[Eternal_Bear]

The War of Redemption will start this year. I say Spring. It will slide into WW3 soon enough. Eat, drink and be merry.....

[Lady Jag]

March 15th, but really, the sooner the better.

[dennisw]

Arafat will gone this August but his Euro butt buddies will mourn his passing from the scene.

I could only wish..........

My quess: Late Friday, Feb 1, 2002. (Friday cause that will be when media goes home)

[Robear]

A face like a swollen hemorrhoid..

[MissAmericanPie]

When Israel dumps Fat and kills off the Hamas they will experience decades long peace is my prediction. Again the world will not apologize or recognize any guilt in having forced Israel to deal with this fool. I'm giving Fat until April 15th tax day.

If Yasser would just start dating O.J...

[snippy_about_it]

Stop already with the pictures. I haven't eaten dinner yet. :)

[Argus]

Arafat's demise will come after Saddam's. But it will most likely be political exile to Switzerland or the south of France, where Yasser can fondle his ill-got billions and slide into the nether reaches of Parkinson's Disease, without achieving the coveted martyr status he and the Israelis have been so careful to avoid giving him all these years.

[Dog Gone]

I don't think they'll ever kill him. There isn't any upside to it. He's not carrying out the attacks, and he may not even know about them in advance.

He's discredited around much of the world, and he's ugly.

He's widely perceived as being the one who walked away from a peace deal that was too generous to him.

If there was any reason to think that he'd be replaced by somebody more moderate who could deliver on his promises, that would be one thing. But he wouldn't be, which is why they won't kill him.
