Arafat wasn't poisoned, and the world is not "finding out" any such nonsense.

There would certainly be nothing wrong with using DU in Lebanon, but I somewhat doubt that they did. Was Hizballah fielding any tanks?

DU is fired from guns, not dropped in bombs. And it is only useful against tanks and armored vehicles.

Nonsense.

I'm sure we should do more to clean up around the spots where we destroyed enemy tanks, but DU is hardly devastating Iraq.

A radioactive heavy metal found in weapons used by the U.S. military and other forces in the war on Iraq continues to plague the country as hundreds of sites are still contaminated and causing the spread of the radioactive substance, according to a new report by Netherlands peace group IKV Pax Christi.

Air strikes in Baghdad, March 21, 2003 (Reuters/Goran Tomasevic) Tens years after the invasion, the U.S. has done almost nothing to clean up the toxic legacy of the war and continues to deny the well-documented harms caused by the radioactive residue that remains.

I can agree with the need for a cleanup, but having this Jacob Chamberlain kook concoct fictitious claims to pretend there is some kind of "grave problem" is not likely to further the cause of that cleanup.

Yes. A cleanup is in order. But let's not blow everything out of proportion.

You're definitely running out of material, Iz. Maybe you're lying daughter can help you or that thief friend. No, forget about Contrex, he's never had any material. That's why he steals others.

@Moment-in-Time,

Both you and Izzy need a script writer, MiT.

I believe that I pointed out what a ******* hypocrite you are. I think you are probably worse than Izzy.

Frederick Forsyth (author of 'Day of the Jackal') just wrote this piece in the Brit Daily Express titled "How exactly did Arafat get so rich?" suggesting he siphoned off aid cash, I dunno if it's true-

http://www.express.co.uk/comment/columnists/frederick-forsyth/443145/So-exactly-how-did-Yasser-Arafat-get-so-rich

(in case the link don't work, here's a chunk from it)-

Forsyth writes- "Take the Gaza strip. It is a bloc of land 25 miles long and six miles wide on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean.

Its northern and eastern borders are Israel, its 11-mile southern border is Egypt and its western border the glittering Med. Over the years since the founding of Israel in 1948 literally billions of pounds have been donated to help its people have a decent life.

If it had been invested shrewdly and well Gaza today could be a mini-Monaco. It could have a deepwater freight port, a flourishing fishing port and a leisure harbour crammed with the yachts of wealthy visitors. It could have resort hotels on the sea and farms, ranches and orchards in the hinterland producing nutritious food.

It has nothing of these. It is a failed state of poverty, misery and violence. So what happened to all that money? Well, a lot went on guns, explosives for bombs and material to build rockets to launch at Israel. But the bulk has certainly suffered the fate of most wealth in that neck of the woods. It has simply been embezzled, not by Israelis but by Palestinians and above all by their leadership cadres.

Yasser Arafat was the virtually unchallenged Palestinian leader for many years. He never had a visible salary above his modest earnings from the Palestinian government in his West Bank fiefdom.

Yet in his dotage he was strongly rumoured to be worth many hundreds of millions of pounds. His wife Suha lived in luxury in a five-star Paris hotel. As the Americans say: go figure.

It is perfectly feasible that after leading his people to failure and poverty even his colleagues had had enough and slipped him a toxic cocktail.
The donations continue to flow in… and disappear"

Do you realize that I've never read any of your condemnations directed at a female poster? Odd? Double standard? Preferential treatment for ladies?

Please clarify. Women are American citizens also, with full rights.

@contrex,

I made a typo. I made a mistake. I have no problem acknowledging that, Contrex. But you steal another man's thoughts and his direct words, you make mistake after mistake in analyzing language, [your chosen field???] and you have the temerity, the stupidity to raise this little typo.

Sad.

My point is valid. I've never seen a condemnation made towards a female poster? Please explain. This might imply that your condemnations towards only male posters do not reflect the full citizenship that female Americans enjoy in American society? This is a quite essential point to be addressed. Not tangential in the least. Do not dismiss such an obvious characteristic of your condemnations.

Your dismissive/"put down" reply just tells me you can never be questioned. I'll keep that in mind, so I'll know to ignore your posts.

Thank you. However, that information did not come from him. I guess he is just too important on the forum to answer me directly. I hope he doesn't get any Hanukkah gifts this year. Oh wait. He's not Jewish.

He is a great wind from the north. Best to turn your collar up and let him blow himself out.

But I was right, Foof. Oralloy pointed that out.

But come on, Foofie. You're being a grand hypocrite [in this situation, you've always been a terrible hypocrite as regards the myriad crimes of the USA]. I have asked you many a question that you have dutifully ignored.

Assuming some group murdered Arafat, it could not have happened to a more deserving guy.

@Advocate,

But but, didn't he win the Nobel Peace Prize?

@roger,

Indeed.

Like anyone should care one whit about whether or not Arafat met the same end he delivered to hundreds, if not thousands.
