| #20 Foz News just reported Paleostinian leadership council asked France not to report his death till they have worked out who's in charge. This could take awhile. Fox sez they're calling every 30 minutes to check on him. "Is he dead yet?" "Is he dead yet?" "Is he dead yet?" |

| #19 could i keep my image up better by talking about all the MUSLIMS whose deaths Arafat caused? |

| #18 a bit of one, ship, a bit of one. I did manage to get in a Jeb Bush joke, though, if anyone was paying attention. |

| #17 I am curious to watch the outpouring of sympathy from various intellectuals and heads of government across the West. My bet: Sweden and Spain will be first in line. |

| #8 They'll not look for French malpractice . . . They'll go back to an older tradition; that Muhammad was poisoned by a Jewish slave. Arafat's hagiographers will claim the same sort of thing for him, and blame--guess who? |

| #7 luxembourg PM now says it was a misunderstanding. Arafat is definitely intubated and in coma. Imminent brain death not clear. Good thing hes not in Florida, eh? |
| Posted by: Liberalhawk 2004-11-04 12:54:52 PM |
| #6 Robert, that is an absolutely devious idea, exactly the sort of bloodthirsty ruthlessness you can't help but admire. I hope someone from the CIA or Mossad reads this thread. |

| #5 Could it have been French medical malpractice? If the belief that it was ever got traction on the "Arab street," life could get interesting for Chirac. What do you mean "if"? Remember, "The Improbable Fraud" was a best-seller in France. Why shouldn't some enterprising author here in the US come up with a book explaining how -- and why -- the French kidnapped Yasser under cover of his "needing medical attention", then poisoned his IV so he would die. Their goal was to sow chaos in the PA to distract the Arab world from France's campaign to secure oil fields in the Sudan and Ivory Coast. (Complicated enough? Moon-batty enough?) |

| #4 1. Gentlemen: I am pleased to report that the first field test of the patented Zionist Death Ray (Mk. 1A3E8bis) has been a complete success. 2. Could it have been French medical malpractice? If the belief that it was ever got traction on the "Arab street," life could get interesting for Chirac. |

| #3 Upon being told Arafat had died Mr. Bush said "God bless his soul". This was a Bushism. What he meant to say was: "May God have mercy on his soul". |

| #2 latest ive seen - French hosp spokesman says hes alive. PM of Luxembourg (how the hell would HE know) says hes dead. Abbas flying to Paris, presumably to get confirmation as successor. Possibly someone is trying to delay reported date of Arafat being finally out of it (to death or final coma) in order to make the case that he actually designated a successor. This should be interesting. |

| #1 In other words, no change. Will the succession be "peaceful" or "contested"? |
