#1 I am going to enter this battle with my gun by my side. I will resist until I become a martyr.

Sounds like a plan! When it is over, and after you've got acquainted with those virgins, why don't you get together with Sheik Yassin, and ask him how his resistance to the IDF worked out?

#2 His compound now looks like the dumping ground for all of the car swarm wrecks. Is it a post-modern cemetary?

#3 first the dreaded red binder, now blue barrels - it's a primary colors defense

#4 Methinks Yashole Arafat has more to fear from Hamas than the Israelies.

#5 All he managed to do is cut back on his field of fire and provide cover for the Israelies when they attack. Dumbass.

#7 There's no overhead cover. (Hint: JDAMs aren't ground weapons.)

#8 So, is it correct that Arafat's "compound" is that pile of rubble in the middle distance, between the paleo-redneck parking lot and the ghetto in the back ?

#9 The more I think about it, the more I think, "Barnes Wallis 'Tallboy.'"

There are two flyable Avro Lancasters left. Could we borrow one?

#10 just cannot wait until this guy is dusted...but then again according to kerry he is a great statesmen...

#11 A couple of JDAMs and the compound will look like the pile of red earth and rubble in front of the compound. I do not know what the neighboring real estate situation is around the compound, but a MOAB would give Ramallah a fresh start with little dozing after the deed is done.

#12 Arafat Fortifies Compound Fearing Attack

It depends on what the meaning of "fortifies" is.

When the IDF is about to close in, he'd better do a sponge bath if possible, and put on some cologne. Those 72 virgins may object to the natural aroma he probably projects after all that time in his compound.

Blue concrete filled barrels?

Which highway project did he steal those from?

#14 I'm wondering if he allows picking rights to the ex-cars. I'm in the market for chevy V-6 231.

#15 This seems like a job for a giant catapult or a heavy lift chopper. What do you think the result might be if Israel started lobbing or dropping dozens of other wrecked cars into the compound? Yasser's got a bad ticker you know...

#16 Does Yasser have a son named Lamont?
