| Arafat Emerges from Burrow; at least 6 more weeks of kleptothugracy |
| 2003-09-29 |
| Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat emerged smiling from his battered West Bank compound Monday after a bout with the flu and thanked Jordan for sending doctors to treat him. Wonder how many doctors he would get if he had a hangnail. Arafat, 74, had been ill for three days and was unable to keep down food, said his aide, Nabil Abu Rdeneh. The Palestinian leader sent for his personal physician, Dr. Ashraf al-Kurdi, who lives in Jordan. Smiling at reporters after descending the steps slowly, Arafat thanked King Abdullah II of Jordan for sending the doctors, adding, "but now the illness is over, thank God." Al-Kurdi, who has treated Arafat for many years, said he was joined by a heart specialist, neurologist and internist. So which one gave him the digital protological examine? "We checked President Arafat and we found him in good health," al-Kurdi said. "There is no doubt that his Palestinian doctors did what was necessary, and we were astonished to find him in good health despite his living in unhealthy conditions." Several years ago, Arafat developed noticeable tremors in his lower lip. Doctors have said it was a nervous tic. Media reports have speculated he suffers from Parkinson’s disease, a degenerative neurological disease. Clinton tried to teach him to bite his lower lip but evidently this training took a turn in another direction. |

| #2 Did you guy hear that Forbes Magazine stated that Yassir was worth sixty million dollars? Now how did a poor man acquire such wealth. There is a saying that goes: 'Yassir is stealing from the Palestinian people on the West Bank, while his wife spends it on the Left Bank, and the rest goes in a Swiss Bank, while the Palestinian people starve.' When the hell are the Palestinians going to wake up and stop allowing themselves to be exploited by opportunists. |
