| Fearing Israeli attack, Arafat begins fortifying headquarters |
| 2004-05-07 |
| EFL Fearing that Israel will try to seize him, the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat fortified his West Bank headquarters with hundreds of cement-filled barrels and wrecked cars Thursday, saying he was determined to go down fighting. "Quick! Nassar, grab lots of innocent women and children. Bring them to me NOW." |

| #8 Arafat is just trying to look relevant while the real action moves elsewhere. Hasn't this been the case for quite some time now? |

| #7 All charade and playacting I think. Olmert has just said that Sharon will continue to push for a full withdrawl from Gaza, despite the Likud referendum defeat. No monkeying around with partial withdrawls. Arafat is just trying to look relevant while the real action moves elsewhere. |

| #6 I think the rule is that on odd numbered days of the month Arafat says he is not afraid to die and prays for shaheed status. On even number days he accuses Israel of trying to kill him and has his lackeys scurry around doing defensive preparations. |

| #1 There's little that arafat could do that would even slow down an Israeli assault. This must be "busy work" in an attempt to prevent slipping morale among his troops. |
