Palestinians contingents deployed to Iraq (to fight for Saddam)
World Tribune ^ | 3/31/03

Hundreds of Palestinians have arrived in Iraq to fight for the regime of President Saddam Hussein.

Palestinian sources in Lebanon said members of the Fatah movement led by Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat have been deployed in Baghdad.

They said the Palestinians are training to serve as suicide attackers for Saddam.

Persecuted for their faith: Now you can do something

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "What is happening in Iraq is the battle of the Palestinian people first and the Arab and Muslim nation second," Col. Munir Maqdeh, the Fatah commander in Lebanon, told the Israeli Arab weekly A-Sinara. Maqdeh said one Fatah contingent has already been deployed in Baghdad. Another group of Fatah insurgents is scheduled to follow shortly, he said.

On Sunday, Iraq announced that 4,000 Arab volunteers have arrived in the country to carry out suicide attacks against U.S. and allied troops. The volunteers were said to have been deployed in the Baghdad area.

Thousands of Fatah insurgents are deployed in Lebanon and receive salaries from Arafat. Palestinian sources said that in February, envoys for Saddam's son, Uday, arrived in Lebanon to recruit for Iraqi suicide squads.

The only good Palestinian Arab terrorist is a dead Palestinian Arab terrorist. We can knock of these 100 in Iraq and that'll be that many fewer targets for our liberation of Syria and Arab Palestine.

The news could only get better if Iran and Syria were drawn into the war. Then we could wipe out an entire generation of rock-chuckers !

if these people are truly under the leadership of Yassir Arafat then doesn't that make him a legitimate target of the war?

They are going over there to commit acts of terrorism against our troops. But elements here in the US, the UN and Europe want these animals to have there own state. Go figure.

All these terrorists will be a whole easier to take care of if they all move to one centralized location. Perhaps we should arrange transportation from palistine.

I'm not buying these reports. I'm sure a few are coming but 4,000 has been throw around this morning. If they had 4000 bombs, belts ,launchers whatever they would point them to Israel. Also, there was a report by some Jordanian students trying to flee Bagdad yyesterday and they were talking about how the US had all the roads covered.

They will have their own state. Only after the anger has been burned and blasted out of their mid-evil souls.

The Japs had to be fried into complacency. The Arabs entry into the 21st century will be no different.

If a Palestinian suicide bomber kills and American, then all bets must be off for creating a Palestinian state. Furthermore, we should allow Israel to drive them out of their borders. Don't these people realize the American public is ina fighting mood and will not tolerate such things? The slumbering giant is awake and not in a good mood.

The more the merrier! Just sit them out on T-55 tanks, so we can conserve ammo.

If this is true, then maybe it's time for the U.S.A. to STOP talking about a Palestinian state and instead leave open the possibility that we may consider the PA to be a terrorist regime, and do unto it what we have done with the Taliban and are in the process of doing to the Hussein regime. Quite frankly, they should have considered themselves LUCKY that we were still willing to DISCUSS a Palestinian state after 9/11.

If they side with Saddam Hussein, all bets should be off, and the notion of a Palestinian state should be sent to the ash heap of history ASAP.
