Nice catch, bb. CNN didn't seem to catcht the Anaconda reference.

Arafat too will begin to run out of money as his PA is relentlessly stripped of all the trappings of statehood. The longer they struggle the tighter the grip becomes.

I only wish it were true. Arafat always finds new funds. Did you see the debka article which explained how he replaced his $50 million January payroll through European generosity? No, to run out of money, he'd have to piss off the Gulf states as badly as he did in the Gulf War. That doesn't seem likely at this moment.
