No, I think dxAce had it more right than not. Last I heard,
Arafat was brain-dead, comatose, on life-support - noticeably
more dead than alive. The only thing stopping them from
preparing the body for burial would be unplugging a machine or
two.

They didn't have to take him all the way to Paris to find out he is
brain dead, he's been brain dead for years.

Last news I heard (within the last 40 minutes) indicated that he
was
still 'technically' alive. Over the past days he's been alive,
dead,
getting better, getting worse, has cancer, doesn't have cancer etc.
It's tougher to figure out what's going on with Yassir than it is
with
Castro!

I turned on the local "all the news all the time" station to
corroborate your report. So far no mention over the past few
minutes,
will keep listening (and checking online), this is pretty
newsworthy
and shouldn't take too long to find something.

Just heard it on the news........ reports of his death are
premature.
However, Genralisimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

And now for something completely different....

Discussion about this at work brought up a question as
to whether the Palestinians have access to a shortwave
transmitter or not. I can honestly say I have no idea, but
I figured that if they did at one time, the Israelis would
probably have put it out of commission by now...

Is this Arafat fellow a short wave broadcaster?

If no, then keep this **** out of rec.radio.shortwave

No you shut up!


Don't worry about her, she's just a bitch that everyone ignores.


She is Teresa Ketchup Heinz's twin sister.

Greetings! It will be chaos when it is officially announced that he has died.
By the way; Elvis is still alive, right? Jon.

Every news source I read says he is still alive in a coma, on life support.
There was a French report this morning that said he was dead, but that was
incorrect apparently.

From the way the old boy has looked in the last few month it may be
hard to tell if he is dead.

My brother told me this morning that Arafat is dying of AIDS.


Ya know, I wonder if the jews somehow infected him on purpose? Hey .. it's
possible.


A desire to do so - yes; however I think that practicality would get
in the way of such an action. They know that they will be blamed
anyway, but why lend credibility to the allegation. While Sharon
despises Arafat, I think he knows that he would lose US backing if he
took him out and would also face a full-on assault by all the Arab
nations - a war that he knows should not be fought

As to Yassir's status; brain-dead seems to be the hot ticket, being
kept alive by machine. As to why the plug isn't being pulled let's
look at a few things.
1) Who is going to succeed him? Perhaps he is being kept alive while
the closest thing to an heir-apparant is building his coalition
(Palestinians are no less pluralistic than we are here in the US) to
gain power and wants it intact before Yassir is actually, clinically
dead.
2) His wife Shura does not yet know where he has stashed the money
that was destined to the Palestinean Authority that Yassir has
siphoned into his own accounts and is keeping him alive in the hope he
will come out of it enogh to divulge that information.
3) He is already dead and that news is not being released until the
Fatah, PFLP, Hamas, el Aqsa Brigade et al decide on who the next boss
is goint to be (a variation of #1).

Anyway, just a little food for thought.
