Arafat the Thief - 60 Minutes

What...the Palestinian Authority...corrupt???
Surely not??

 

Don't worry, no more than the US "President" and Sharon, who is being
investigated at the moment.

 

yeah, bur $1,000,000,000 is taking the piss a bit!

 

I didn't know Arafat liked country music. Or, is there some other connection
I'm missing, as to why this is posted here.

Yet another argument for (a) Jeffersonian neutrality; and (b) smaller
government. No matter where there's a pile of unearned money - whether
it's Tammany Hall, Ramallah, Tel Aviv, 10 Downing Street or 1600 Penn,
there will be corruption.

That Israeli banks are facilitators of Arafat's operation only reinforces
the point that they prefer stalemate (with its inherent two-way violence)
to peace, since peace would weaken their political power base and also the
"justification" for the multi-billion-dollar-a-year Yankee gravy train.

 

Perhaps Chairman Arafat's well known appreciation
for the armored Mercedes explains this crosspost
into the Mercedes group?

But there probably is some other reason
but the crossposters and those who frequent
the crosspost will not say what it is.

As important the issue is to you, and to me also, it does not belong in the
newsgroups where you have posted it.
