After consultation with his Middle East advisors, French President Jacque Chiraq has decided to back Suha Arafat all the way--and at the same time reach out to the radical rejectionist wing of the Palenstinian camp--PLO Politburo chief Farouk Kaddumi, Arafat's close confidant Hanni al Hassan, senior terrorist chief Col. Feisal Abu Srakh, as well as Mohammad Jihad, an important Jordanian general.
Former and present Palenstinian Prime Ministers Abu Ala and Abu Mazen have been deeply shamed by the hysterical pre dawn antics of Arafat's wife Suha on Al Jazzera Arabic TV.
Swallowing their chagrin, Abu Ala and Abu Mazen flew to the French capital to sort out the imbriglio.
It was clear for all to see that Arafat could not be maintained on life support systems beyond a couple of days, and that his body must be moved and a funeral arranged to salvage the last shreds of the Palestinian leaders dignity.
To accomplish that, Suha would have to be paid off.
Suha had been preparing to demand their signatures on documents drafter by her French lawyers guaranteeing her a multimillion dollar inheritance and pension--the price for switching off life support systems.
The two Palestinian officials were humiliated when they arrived at the hospital gates and were told by French medical spokesman Christian Estripeau, 'Mr. Arafats condition forces us to limit visitors.'
Mrs. Arafat still holds the key to access to Arafat-on her terms. (for now) With the French President behind her, those terms can only become stiffer.
And by grinding down Abu Ala and Abu Mazen, she is doing her part in enhancing the standing of Arafat's radical rivals.

Our current highest bidder is Suha!
follow the money
Arafat's soul burns in hell, but they won't let his body turn to dust just yet!
Looks like Suha has given up on the billions in the Swiss banks and just wants to win the Powerball for her retirement.
Saturday Night Live could do a whole season just on this.

Seriesly, I don't see why the golddigger who didn't even have the guts to be in Ramallah as it crumbled the last 3 years has any say.
Thank goodness its not smellavision. He must be ripe by now.
No doubt she has promised to do all her future shopping in France, with a 5% cut to Chirac.
Help is on the way!
From other articles it appears French "inheritance" laws may be in play here. His billions could very well be her billions now. As we saw from the oil for food program, the right contribution to the right French officials works wonders.
That was my first thought as well, Arafat must have not come up with any deathbed hush monies for Chiraq..
Have they begun issuing corpse vouchers yet?
Indeed. Apparently Chirac knows which side the butter goes on. He has demonstrated this same canny knack with the UN Oil for Food debacle..
Could be right, dying in Paris may end up being very benifical for Suha, she has the advantage as long as the body stays in Gay Paris..
