Total: $ 350 million of U.S. taxpayer money down the drain (again).
Will Uncle Sucker ever learn?I got a better idea: Let them seize the billions Arafat stole and stashed away in foreign banks! Why not? If international courts have any worth at all, they could be instrumental in getting this money returned to the Palestinian people. Why let Arafat get away with this? His money is worth nothing where he is now anyway and won't even buy him a cool drink of water..
(This is a fictitious news report but probably not too far off the mark.)
