Terrorist Condemns Terrorist

Imad Falouji, an advisor to Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat, on Sunday condemned Libyan leader Moammar Kaddafi after reports he had ordered the assassination of the Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler Crown Prince Abdullah.Falouji also quoted Arafat as strongly denouncing Kaddafi, dubbing him a “miserable and desperate man.”
If that is not the pot calling the kettle black, I do not know what is.

And coming this quotation from a israeli is always ironic as well…
Interesting syntax on the previous comment… was that menat to be critical or congratulatory?
I’m surprised you didn’t nail Crown Prince Abdullah for blaming Zionists — in Arabic only, of course — for the Yanbu kilings. In English, but apparently only English, Al Qaeda is responsible for the Yanbu killings. Does “Al Qaeda” translate directly into “Zionists” in Arabic?

In January 1978, the PLO representative in London was assassinated at his office. Soon after that, convincing pieces of evidence started to come to light showing that the crime was committed by the infamous terrorist Abu Nidal, who had recently broken with Arafat and built his own organization. “That wasn’t a Nidal operation. It was ours,” Ali Hassan Salameh, Arafat’s liaison officer for Romania, told me. Even Ceausescu’s adviser to Arafat, who was well familiar with his craftiness, was taken by surprise. “Why kill your own people?” Col. Constantin Olcescu asked.
“We want to mount some spectacular operations against the PLO, making it look as if they had been organized by Palestinian extremist groups that accuse the chairman of becoming too conciliatory and moderate,” Salameh explained. According to him, Arafat even asked the PLO Executive Committee to sentence Nidal to death for assassinating the PLO representative in London.

“In May 1973, during a private dinner with Ceausescu,” Mr. Pacepa recalled, “Arafat excitedly bragged about his Khartoum operation. ‘Be careful,’ Ion Gheorghe Maurer, a Western-educated lawyer who had just retired as Romanian prime minister, told him. ‘No matter how high-up you are, you can still be convicted for killing and stealing.’ ‘Who, me? I never had anything to do with that operation,’ Arafat said, winking mischievously.”

…an incredible account of fanaticism … of tangled oriental political maneuvers, of lies, of embezzled PLO funds deposited in Swiss banks, and of homosexual relationships, beginning with his teacher when he was a teenager and ending with his current bodyguards. After reading that report, I felt a compulsion to take a shower whenever [I] had just shaken his hand.

As it happens, Pacepa tells us that the communists trusted Rahman because he was a voracious homosexual. This alone made him a workable Kremlin puppet, because once the Romanian intelligence services had taped Rahman’s sex sessions with men and boys, he was completely in their hands. Afterwards, Rahman’s friendship for the communist bloc would be permanent — if he valued his growing popularity in the Arab world.”
