"With our spirit and our blood, we will redeem you, oh Arafat" and "God is great." "Hooray for me, and you too!" Accompanied by gun-toting security guards, Arafat immediately visited a hospital in downtown Ramallah. He briefly paused in the parking lot which has been used as a makeshift graveyard and offered prayers. "Make sure you shoo-... uh, film my good side!" Hell. I was really hoping Bush wouldn't pull his finger. |
