| IDF wrecks Yasser's compound... |
| 2002-09-20 |
| Israeli forces have destroyed all buildings in Yasser Arafat's Ramallah compound that immediately surround the Palestinian leader's main office. Leaves them a good field of fire for when the next boomer goes off... On Friday, the day after a deadly suicide bomb attack in Tel Aviv, Israel Defense Forces continued to occupy the West Bank compound and were looking to arrest Palestinians they have labeled as terrorists. Arafat was unharmed, Palestinian officials said, and Israeli officials said he was not a target. FoxNews was saying last night that eight of the 19 named had given themselves up... "No one is going to kill Arafat, no one is going to expel Arafat," said Alon Pinkas, Israel's consul general in New York. Damn. Why not? A leaflet faxed to news organizations Friday said Izzedin al Qassam, the military wing of Hamas, claimed responsibility for the suicide attack. |

| #3 Like making a long dirt trench/moat with razor wire around it (as reported tonight on Fox)? |

| #2 If I recall correctly, this is the third time they've cornered him in Ramallah. Why bother if they just let him go after getting a good long international pity party? I think they may have something more in mind this time. |

| #1 Why stop there? Just level the rest of it. I mean, maybe Yasser wants a new fireplace? Help him out. |
