Mirabile dictu! Yasir Arafat has finally admitted to ‘Some corruption’ in the Palestinian Authority. But don’t get too excited. The Red Sea is not about to open again or green gila monsters to descend from Mars. According to the Guardian…
Mr Arafat, who has been resisting intense pressure to halt official corruption, reform the security services and relinquish some of his near-absolute powers, did not outline what the mistakes had been or how he planned to correct them.
UPDATE: Perhaps this amusing (unless youre a poor Palestinian) account of Suha’s Travels will explain some of Yasir’s recent travails. What interests me is that only now are the Europeans beginning to investigate this massive fraud, which was evident to the casual observer for years. (hat tip: Fausta… in the comments)
He’s going to brush up on his paper trail and put wifee on a budget.
Tomorrows Response from the EU:
Yassar! You big lug! Corruption? You? C’mon, guy, you can’t mean it. A shame. Need anything? Gotta a million or two somewhere around here… here take it. Nah, c’mon, it’s yours. Put it in the wife’s account in Paris? Consider it done.
Now, tell us how the Israelis made you do it.
Mirabile dictu caught my eye. It’s the registered name of one of my dogs. Call name: Mira.
And here I thought that the Zionists were making all this stuff up about Arafat being a thief and murderer.
It sounds like the jig is up at long last.
put wifee on a budget
A $150,000/month budget, that is.
Arafat wont’ resign. Even the New York Times has given up hope and you know how they feel about him.
They actually refer to him as a Romantic Revolutionary.

Arafat is the biggest enemy the Palestinians have. Pity more folks don’t recognize this.
I wonder how many of the Europeans know that Arafat is an Egyptian.
I tire of all the machinations within the Palestinian world. Arafat’s remaining purpose seems to be as a money distribution point. It’s time for the old fraud to croak.
Thanks, Roger!
