There is nothing like directness in foreign affairs. Kevin P:

the quote was actually having OBL “buried at Arlington National Cemetery.” There is nothing like directness in foreign affairs.

No doubt when Israel refuses the UN will pass a resolution condeming Israel. If I was Sharon I would tell the NYT that he will let Arafat be buried in Jerusalem the day that NYC lets OBL be buried at the 9-11 bomb site. Jamie:

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but Arafat has <i>always</i> been very cagey with the funds -- in fact, when he had the plane crash, there was a real problem in that he kept all the accounts and information in a little black notebook that was always on him ... and it had been lost. I'd bet <i>nobody</i> knows where the money is but Yasser. That might be why he survived, not just his recent death, but the preceding 20 years.

She pegged Arafat for what he was before anyone paid him any attention. She wasn't fooled by Camp David or any of his other charades. Twice as brilliant and ten times as well-read and informed as your average "intellectual," she was testimony to how much one does <i>not</i> lose by not graduating from college. Can't wait for the <i>New York Times</i> assessment. Jamie Irons My late mother-in-law, who died at 85 in 2000, was a brilliant autodidact who grew up in Brooklyn.

If they can nail Kadoumi quickly then Arafat's hand from the grave move will be moot. At the moment, Kadoumi is just one of a thousand terrorist thugs. Carter, Clinton & Don Kofi haven't annointed him nor has he offered the ceremonial bribe to Chirac that would elevate his status with the EUnuch community. Take him out now, fellas. He's earned it, many want it, and no one will regret it. This should be a good test of the Mossad. If they can nail Kadoumi quickly then Arafat’s hand from the grave move will be moot.
