PA Intensifies Search for Arafat’s Billions [want Israel's help] Arutz Sheva ^ \| 11-15-05 \| Scott Shiloh A year after Arafat’s death, the PA has intensified its search for hundreds of millions of dollars that disappeared in his wake. Now the PA is asking Israel’s help to find the lost loot. The PA’s appointee for financial matters, Salam Fayid, has asked Israeli intelligence to help search for Arafat’s secret investments, estimated at upwards of one billion dollars. The PA wants the money to help set up a state in Judea, Samaria and Gaza. Most of the efforts to find the money are focusing on locating a web of complex investments spread around the world by Arafat’s financial advisor and personal confidante, Mohammed Rashid. Rashid has so far been unwilling to volunteer detailed information regarding those investments. A number of investments were purportedly made in various tourist sites in Africa, with others in communications and other international high-tech companies. Rashid, considered an expert at moving and hiding money, so far has not left any significant leads. Arafat’s wife, Suha, who currently lives in Tunisia, is also apparently a party to the money’s disappearance. Suha’s expense account in Paris has led investigators to open a file into suspicions of her involvement in laundering money in Swiss bank accounts, according to Israeli newspaper Yediot Acharonot. Five years ago, at the onset of the Oslo War, Suha and her daughter moved to Paris, where she received a stipend from Arafat that ballooned to a quarter-million euros per month. Suha began investing in international companies through the help of financial advisors like Rashid, who made it difficult to follow the money. Suha did not attend Arafat’s funeral last year, out of fear the PA was after her money. An intelligence source has said that it is possible that the location of Arafat’s millions may never be known. ___________________________________________________________ LOL! So they don't want to have anything to do with those nasty JOOOS, unless they can help the PA find the money that Arafat stole from them? Can anyone think of one (sane) reason why Israel would want to help the mass murderers to find Arafat's hundreds of millions? The PLO "constitution" still contains the goal of destroying the state of Israel. Let the Arabist US State Department help them. And of course the European Union, which also poured millions into its beloved Arafart.

Why did Bush kick out the UN inspectors when they were doing such a fine thorough job? When you answer that question, you'll know why Bush-Cheney were so dishonest and reckless in terms of lying to us all and rushing to war.

Hey democrats, if you can't read between the lines, President GW Bush just called you traitors. "Some Democrats who voted to authorize the use of force are now rewriting the past," Bush said. "They're playing politics with this issue and they are sending mixed signals to our troops and the enemy. That is irresponsible." Amen, brother

"And who did they work for if you don't mind me asking?" The UN. And oddly enough, they were proven right. Strange, that...

Bolton says UN in a time warp, may have to be replaced Big News Network ^ \| November 15, 2005 The United States reportedly may look for a U.N. substitute if that body doesn't improve in problem solving and responding to U.S. needs. U.N. Ambassador John R. Bolton told The Washington Times that the Bush administration requires nothing less than a revolution of reform at the United Nations. "That," he said, "would cover everything from Security Council engagement to management changes to a focus on administrative skills in choosing the next secretary-general." The United Nations, which he said seemed caught in a time warp, "has got to be a place to solve problems that need solving, rather than a place where problems go, never to emerge." "We have to decide whether a particular issue is best done through the U.N. or best done through some other mechanism," Bolton told the Times. "One alternative to the United Nations," he said, "is for regional organizations to play a larger role, praising the Organization of American States and the African Union."
