To think, Clinton kissed this man
...On the cheek, but who gives a crap?
How Arafat Got Away with Murder
The State Department covered up his responsibility for the 1973 slaughter of two American diplomats.

Twenty years before he joined Bill Clinton and Yitzhak Rabin in Washington for that famous handshake--and proceeded to become Clinton's most frequent foreign guest at the White House--Yasser Arafat planned and directed the murder of an American ambassador and his deputy chief of mission. From the first moment of the deadly operation, which took place in Khartoum on March 1, 1973, the State Department possessed direct evidence of Arafat's responsibility, yet neither the State Department nor any other government agency made public its knowledge. Indeed, as recently as the summer of 2002, the State Department denied that such evidence existed. Across seven administrations, the State Department hewed to silence and denial.
Until last spring. In June 2006, the department's Office of the Historian quietly posted an authoritative summary of the events dated June 1973. The source of the summary is not given, but the CIA had previously produced it in redacted form in response to a Freedom of Information Act request. Prepared by the CIA on the basis of intercepted communications, it baldly states: "The Khartoum operation was planned and carried out with the full knowledge and personal approval of Yasser Arafat."
Not that I'm excusing the other Presidents who presided over this massive cover-up, but shit! Hillary Clinton hugged and kissed this murderer's wife and called her a "friend!"
As my Dad said:
And the apeasers in Congress would have American and Israeli leaders shake the hands and negotiate with Syrian, Palestinian, and Iranian leaders who have murdered Americans and Israelis and have pledged themselves to continue doing so until at least the en tire MIddle East and perhaps the entire planet is rid of Jews and Christians: with leadership like that, the US is in for troubled times.
I couldn't agree more.
