| Arafish gets a Memorial Missile from Fatah | ||
| 2004-11-16 | ||
| From World Tribune The ruling Fatah movement has deployed a new rocket named after its late leader Yasser Arafat. Palestinian sources said Fatah's military wing has named the rocket "Yasser-1." The sources said the rocket was an advanced model of the Al Aqsa-2 and has
Al Kaboomi Aerospace Industries, Ltd. He said the new rocket was an enhancement of Al Aqsa and could strike Israeli communities near the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Nice to see such a gesture of goodwill after the Arafish departed this vale of tears. Fatah has produced dozens of Yasser-1 rockets, Abu Mohammed said. He did not provide additional details of the weapon. "We can say no more." "Under certain conditions we would launch our rockets into Israel to deter the Israeli military from carrying out large-scale operations in the Gaza Strip," Abu Mohammed said. Better rethink your strategy, Abu Mohammed. Do the names "Yassin" and "Rantissi" ring any bells? Palestinian sources said Fatah has sought to acquire or develop rockets that could exceed Hamas's Kassam-3 short-range missile. They said Fatah has been discussing procurement with the Iranian-sponsored Hizbullah. Iran will become the big player in attacks on Israel, because they have the dough. So far, Fatah has not deployed any rockets that approach the range of the Kassam-3, which can reach a distance of between 12 and 14 kilometers. Most Fatah shelling attacks have comprised of 60 mm and 81 mm mortars. Al Aqsa said it was developing another model of the Yasser-1 with a range of 18 kilometers. This would enable rocket attacks on the Israeli port of Ashkelon from much of the northern Gaza Strip. The Israelis have shown great restraint in their counter attacks. Abu Mohammed is asking for a serious wack with aircraft.
That will go nowhere. Zbeidi said PLO chairman Mahmoud Abbas was not Fatah's candidate to head the PA. On Sunday, Fatah gunmen fired toward Abbas and former PA Security Affairs Minister Mohammed Dahlan in Gaza City. Two of Abbas's bodyguards were killed and four others were injured. | ||

| #6 After a few years of "Yassers" involved with terrorist attacks and civilian deaths, Arafat's true legacy will become even more widespread. As opposed to the disgusting international verbage surrounding the event of his funeral. |

| #5 How stupid? Start dropping Yassers over Israel and you may not like what gets lobbed back. I sincerely hope the Israelis have targetted a neutron weapon on the toilet where Arafish was flushed. According to this article they are more effective in desert climes than humid ones. Hmmmm.. |

| #4 these busy little death cult beavers don't really understand or care that achieving any of their stupid little goals will bring big-time hurt on the Paleos with minimal damage to Israel. A rocket to an Israeli community with attendant loss of life will take the friggin gloves off. They expend all their ingenuity against the Jooos instead of building their society. Animals and Idjits! |

| #3 The "Yasser 1", huh? Will the rocket hunt young male ass like its namesake? Inquiring minds want to know. |

| #2 "could strike Israeli communities" Somehow the Paleo's are able to get away with this wordage and still hold the affections of much of the "civilized" world. |

| #1 Too bad we didn't offer Arafish a ride on the space shuttle...........a one way ride. Hey Yasser, wanna go for a space walk, its lots of fun and you can see Palestine from here. Holy crap the air lock door jambed. Can someone put a strobe and a tracking device on him so we don't hit him the next time we are up here?? |
