I was just stunned that Rivera said that. Hannity basically ripped him another a$$ hole.

[Jeff Chandler]

this is usually by time to watch old reruns of "The Facts of Life."

Tootie to Arafat: "Umm...you're gonna be in trou-bulll!"

Looks like IDF has them on the run..reports of Israeli troops leading captured Palies away..along with reports of Palies moving about in disorganized fashion.

Rumour is that Arafat has not been sleeping well of late...he has been seeing Snakes coming for him in his dreams.

Click for Snakes

Wonder where Peter Jennings' girlfriend is now? It would just be too precious if she was with Arafat when he goes down.

Ack . . . Really bad visual, dude !!

the bad visual would be Peter interviewing her tomorrow for the PLO's "viewpoint"......I would prefer watching her funeral.

Any photos of the burning Arafat hq..?

[Aric2000]

NOW THAT'S A BULLDOZER!!!

[Light Speed]

They are U.S. made "Cobra's" ..fitted with FLIR night vison and capable of firing the U.S. made "Hellfire" missile system.
I believe Israel makes their own version of the optical Hellfire.

Whatever else happens, one thing for sure is that all pipes and sewers under that thing are gunna be out of order. And so I picture the sewers backing up in PLO HQ just when Arafat is spending a lot of time shaking on the can.

He better not have been eating any White Castles the day before!!

Isolate him my arse...kill the sumbitch and all his minons....then pursue all the Hamas and IJ monsters to the ends of the earth. This is Sword of Gideon time. Screw the oil. Screw the coalitions. We can take the oil. We don't need the bloody coalitions. We're America dammit and we oughta be helping the IDF to exterminate this vermin. Their vermin are our vermin so to speak.

[rocknotsand]

Arafart is one senior citizen who don't need to spend money on bran...

[lavrenti]

This gets a big "so what". The real Palestinian leadership is now symbolized some Jihadist in an Armani suit (including tie, shocking!) currently making the rounds of the networks.

Sad to say, but the Israelis are too late. Going after Arafat may be personally satisifying, however the real problem are the scum Islamics. Getting rid of them is going to be an iffy proposition, one that requires a brutality not associated with the IDF.

[wardaddy]

He's a hydra...last night he seemed vexed at the Hamas scum being so unapologetic...that he procliamed these people do not Israel to exist period. I hope Mossad or Shin Bet get that Hamas peckerhead...and gut him slowly.
