Document Indicts Arafat

By way of WorldNetDaily comes word that a recently declassified document makes it clear that the plot resulting in the murder of two US diplomats in Sudan in 1973 (referred to as the Khartoum operation) "was planned and carried out with the full knowledge and personal approval" of Yasser Arafat.

This is the man that Jimmy Carter admired so much he said of him, "He was the father of the modern Palestinian nationalist movement. A powerful human symbol and forceful advocate, Palestinians united behind him in their pursuit of a homeland."

He also eulogized that Arafat provided "indispensable leadership to a revolutionary movement" and played a key role in forging a peace agreement with Israel in 1993, he was excluded from negotiations in recent years.

"My hope is that an emerging Palestinian leadership can benefit from Arafat's experiences, be welcomed to the peace process by (Israeli) Prime Minister (Ariel) Sharon and (US) President (George W.) Bush, and be successful in helping to forge a Palestinian state living in harmony with their Israeli neighbors," Carter said.

Sure, Jimmy, and the elections in Venezuela were a wonderful example of democracy which America should emulate. How long must we suffer this foolish old windbag and his lusting after leftist lunatics like Arafat, Castro and Chavez?
