And why not consider taking all your murdering buddies with you? I hear Frankistan is violent nice this time of year.

In other words, he had/has no real control over anything.

#7  Although it is a bit early to begin guessing, I'm still curious as to what Abbas' lagacy will be. While his statecraft appears to be lightyears ahead of Arafat, he still seems pretty ineffectual at resolving any of the most problematic issues, like disarming the various terrorist factions, stemming endemic graft and corruption or (gasp) steering the Palestinian people away from an ingrained tradition of hatred and obsession with death.

It's difficult to imagine him as having been much more than some sort of mortuary director who oversaw the laying out of Yassin and Rantissi for burial along with any dreams of a Palestinain state.

If this weasle does manage to retire to some posh little chateaux in another country, his overall track record will quickly slide into the null effect region. My scorecard currently reads a dismal 3.0 out of 10.0 with markdowns for idiocy and pandering.

Probably made the final payment on the villa in the south of France. No need to hang around.

France is no longer a good place to live in---all these rioting "youths", don't you know.
