#1 Figgered that out all by your lonesome, didja? Any word yet on whether fire is hot?

#2 In a recent press interview, he said that outside of Iraq everyone was certain Saddam Hussein was good to the Palestinians because it sent financial support to the families of suicide bombers and helped rebuild schools the Israeli army damaged and destroyed.

Of course, nobody even bothered to bring up the question of whether he was good to Iraqis......

#3 Abdul Rahman said all the support for families in the territories was meant to win sympathy in the Arab masses for the Iraqi regime.

Funny how he never brought this up while Sammy was in power (or alive), ain't it?

#4 He's trying to win some sympathy for Palestinians from ordinary Iraqis, who are justifiably resentful at Palestinian support for Saddam. He is also lying about the extent of Saddam's special favors for Palestinians in Iraq. When the full extent of these favors is revealed, Palestinians will probably be evicted from Iraq by ordinary Iraqis, just as they were from Kuwait after the first Gulf War.

#5 Paleostianians have consistantly backed losers, had good relationships with losers (e.g., Babywipes Arafat and Sammy). No wonder other Arabs give them lip service support, but do not want them around. The Paleos have a leadership problem and the only support they have is from some EU-niks and people like 'Dozer Corrie and friends. The smart Palistinians get the hell out of their ratholes and go somewhere else to make a living and try to live an honest existance.

#6 I wonder what Abdul Rahman's cut of the "martyr" money was.
