As the Israelis say, Arafat has not yet had his "Altalena moment", but it may be coming soon.

Oh, I thought you might enjoy this reviews of someone's "unimpeachable source":

The Sick Mind of Noam Chomsky

Salon.com | September 26, 2001

WITHOUT QUESTION, the most devious, the most dishonest and -- in this hour of his nation’s grave crisis – the most treacherous intellect in America belongs to MIT professor Noam Chomsky. On the 150 campuses that have mounted "teach-ins" and rallies against America’s right to defend herself; on the streets of Genoa and Seattle where "anti-globalist" anarchists have attacked the symbols of markets and world trade; among the demonstrators at Vieques who wish to deny our military its training grounds; and wherever young people manifest an otherwise incomprehensible rage against their country, the inspirer of their loathing and the instructor of their hate is most likely this man.

100 demonstrators, most of them teen-agers, threw stones and fire bombs at a police station in the Shati refugee camp near Gaza City, witnesses said. Police responded with tear gas and live rounds and protesters eventually dispersed.

Palestinian police responding wtih live rounds and tear gas against a bunch of rowdy stone-throwing teens??

My, my... what incredible restraint they have shown in comparison to their Israeli counter-parts... :0)

Old Arafat must be feeling quite a pucker factor right now... He's afraid his people will drag him into becoming a supporter of the most hated (and hunted) man on the face of the planet... Kinda like they did back during the gulf war...

The "tiger", who's back he has been riding upon, is starting to nip at his tootsies...

OBL's not stupid... he knows how to expand this conflict.
