Two top Palestinian security chiefs resign
2004-07-17
The civil war is cranking up. Popcorn, anyone?
Two top Palestinian security chiefs tendered their resignation to leader Yasser Arafat late Friday after three kidnappings took place in the Gaza Strip in the past 10 hours. Palestinian security sources said that Rashid Abu Shbak, chief of the Gaza Strip preventive security and Amin el-Hindi, chief ofthe Palestinian security intelligence services had resigned. "The situation has become intolerable after what happened in the day," said the officials in their resignation letter. Earlier in the day, three separate kidnapping incidents occurred in the Gaza Strip, where Palestinian hard boyz militants abducted Gaza police chief Ghazi al-Jabali, Palestinian general security official Khaled Abu el-Olla, and four French citizens. The Gaza police chief and the four French were later released, but the security official was still being held.
"Mahmoud, you idiot! You don't kidnap Frenchmen!"
"Why not, Achmed? They're infidels!"
[slap] "They're the best friends we have! Let 'em go!"

#5  This is just what the doctor ordered.

Note when the enemy can't murder its quota of Jews they turn on each other.

#4  So what do you do if the AraFish doesn't accept your resignation?
1. Walk away and say FOAD to Yasser.
2. Make sure your will is in order and do #1.
3. Stay on the job and ask for a raise?
4. Steal the Red Folder™ from Arafat's desk and threaten to go to the press if he does not let you go.
5. Wish you were in Dixie?
