Arafat fails to return to normal duties
2003-10-10
Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat has failed to return to full duties because of what Palestinian sources term a debilitating stomach ailment.
A semi packed with cases of Depends was seen being off-loaded in front of the PA compound.Arafat continues to terrorize function only part-time as his aides have cancelled most meetings with officials and visiting dignitaries.
Lucky them
The sources said the PA chairman has been unable to return to his full duties despite a clean bill of health from a Jordanian medical team that examined him nearly two weeks ago. On Wednesday, an Egyptian and Jordanian medical team arrived in Ramallah to examine Arafat. Palestinian sources said the team included a cardiologist and other specialists.
A Lebanese proctologist declared him complete
PA officials have denied reports that Arafat suffered a mild heart attack
despite the severe chest pains, shortness of breath, and cold sweats in late September.
They said the chairman has been suffering from syphillis gastritis, or inflammation of the stomach. As a result, officials said, Arafat suffers from nausea and has hardly eaten for nearly a week. Arafat, an official said, has lost eight kilograms over the last two weeks. The official said the PA chairman’s condition has been exacerbated by anxiety that include fears that he has been targeted for assassination by Israel.
Ya think?????
The Jordanian team was summoned on Sept. 29 to run a series of tests on Arafat.
The EEG came back negative. No activity.
The officials said the chairman had been alarmed over his deteriorating condition and suspected that he might have been poisoned.
We could only be so lucky.

"I am not dead, dammit!"
"Shuddup! Get back on that slab!"

Do you really think that Arafat and Kadaffy are strict Moslems? Doubt they made fre=iday prayers when they were Marxists.

They should live a little. They've fleeced, and skimmed and shook down. All work and no play could make you sick.

#3  He's a dummy. He will die in that @#$% of his when he has as much money stashed as Howard Hughs. He should let the Jews eject him and slip over to Lybia and build an African version of Vegas.

#2  His fingers aren't sticky enough yet to resume counting the graft from the "humanitarian aid" money. They're hoping he'll be back good as new by the beginning of next week.

It doesn't take much effort to order/approve a suicide/murder operation.
