Arafat's offices on fire from Israeli shells -  - aides

    RAMALLAH, West Bank, March 29 (Reuters) - Israeli tanks 
shelled Yasser Arafat's offices on Friday, causing a fire with 
the Palestinian president inside, his aides said. 
    "Israeli tanks fired shells at President Arafat's offices 
and the building is on fire, and we are inside," Palestinian 
Information Minister Yasser Abed Rabbo told Reuters by 
telephone. 
    Shortly before, aides to Arafat said a gunbattle erupted 
between his security detail and Israeli troops who had entered 
the city of Ramallah, 15 kms (nine miles) north of Jerusalem, in 
a column of several dozen tanks. 
    The Israeli army swept into Ramallah in the early morning 
hours in an incursion retaliating for the killing of 20 Israelis 
in a resort hotel by a Palestinian suicide bomber at the start 
of the Jewish Passover holiday on Wednesday. 
    The incursion came shortly after Arafat announced he was 
prepared for an immediate ceasefire, an offer swiftly dismissed 
by an angry Israeli government. Palestinians rose up against 
Israeli occupation 18 months ago.

Palestinians rose up against Israeli occupation 18 months ago.

What a joke. I hate Reuters - those jew-hating terrorist-loving liars.

But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces thereof:

Information Minister Yabba Dabba Do now a Darwin candidate in the making.

i bet theyre going to arrest him

Don't know about the full moon. I just think a lot of events have occurred in the past few days to force a move towards a new understanding of the reality of the situation- i.e the Saudi/Arab non-offer of peace, the absence of Mubarak and King Hussein from the Arab summit, the impending inevitable disposal of Saddam, Cheney's visit and the Passover bombing.

Attention all non-news junkies. This is a war going on on many fronts.

[agrace]

MSNBC guy reporting they have spoken to aids, Arafat is ok so far.

'Yabba Dadda Doo'!

Stop it--your killing me, here!

My suggestion for PM Sharaon…

First, capture Arafat alive and bring him to an undisclosed location in Israel.

Set up cameras in a courtyard to record the following events:

1) Strap a significant quantity of explosives to Arafat.

2) Place Arafat in an open area and begin transmitting as the families of recently slain Israelis are assembled to draw lots on who gets to activate the detonator.

3) Break into all live TV broadcasts throughout the Arab world with live transmission of the coming spectacular death of Arafat.

4) Blow the son-of-a-bitch up on live TV with a promise to other Arab leaders that Israel will enact God’s edict of an eye-for-an-eye on any other leader that can be tied to terrorist deaths.

5) Lastly, turn loose a large number of swine to devour whatever bits of flesh are left, thereby defiling the remains and denying his journey to Satan’s ‘paradise’

Nightline covering this tonight. Some "journalist" named Charles Sennott from the Boston Globe said he's afraid this is going to deteriorate into a religious war.

Imagine that. What world does this guy live in???

Let's hope they hired Janet Reno as a consultant on this raid.
