The Arafat Conspiracy

The only good news is the rat faced f*ckpig is still dead, may he rot in hell.
Is anyone actually surprised? This is really a “Dog Bites Man” story. That our government played footsie with Arafat isn’t that surprising an item. Nixon had his hands full of other problems (and under his vision of realpolitic, didn’t really care), Ford mostly dealt with keeping the country in one piece and Jimmy Carter then decided that the murdering shitbag was worth honoring - something I will NEVER forgive Carter for. The piece of Arafat’s history that I really want to know about dates to when the Israelis allowed him to leave Beirut when their artillery and snipers could easily have killed him.
I’ve never understood any of if Doc. Were they so afraid of “wet work” after the spy games of the 50s and Kennedy’s attempts to off Castro? It’s not like Arafish was an official president, king, or prime minister. He was just some ugly schmuck wearing a tablecloth on his head. Kill the head rat and another would have risen up to take his place. Eventually there would have been one we could deal with, or else no rats left.
It’s tough for me to look back to that era from here. The whole Balance Of Power thing was just stupid. Reagan had it right: win, period. You can’t be World Policeman without using the Big Stick once in a while.
What was the point of keeping the palis going? To balance Israel? Aren’t they are ally? We should want them to win. Ah, but Big Oil, that’s it! Our “friends” in sandland. Too many shady backroom deals I think. And mighty stupid of us to be in any of them. Ever.
How about a real deal: We’ll buy your oil, and you’ll buy all your buildings and infastructure from us. Roads, sewage treatment, generators, phone systems, etc. World’s best! Plus, if you act now, we won’t bomb the shit out of you! But Wait, There’s More! Call us in the next 14 minutes and we’ll let half your population be taxi drivers right here in New York City! Plus free steak knives!
Lyndon - yes, that was the very best birthday present I could get, 2 years ago. And he’s still dead!
