#1 Earlier President Arafat said he was willing to die as a martyr..

Humor the guy. NOW.

#3 Arafat said he was willing to die as a martyr and will use his machine-gun to defend himself if Israeli troops try to exile or assassinate him.

Guess that means the Israeli's will have to whack him from beyond machine-gun range. Allowing for average Paleo proficiency with an automatic weapon, that's about, oh, um, .... 50 yards.

#4 The Barrett XM-107 .50 sniper rifle comfortably outranges the Kalashnikov series of assault rifles.

In case anyone was wondering.

#6 So do the MLRS and the M109A6 Paladin. Why use 5.56mm when you can use 155?

#7 Boom! I blew up some of you. And now you're going for payback. Quick, let's have a truce. Ah good, a truce.

Boom. I blew up some of you.

And so on.

#9 Yo Fishie! Satan has given each of your 72 virgins(all souls of dead ISM moonbats, BTW) a different STD. Just FYI.

#10 The Israeli decision starts to make sense to me. Everytime Hamas sneezes Arafat's pants will smell. Arafat might soon classify as a biological weapon.
