The Confusion About Arafat's Condition Grows

[Tuckerfan]

Well, it’s not up on their site, yet, but Fox News is reporting that Arafat’s suffering from liver failure. What is on their site is that the squabbling over power has already begun.

In a screaming telephone call from Arafat’s hospital beside, Suha Arafat (search) told pan-Arab Al-Jazeera television that she was issuing “an appeal to the Palestinian people.” She accused his top aides — who are traveling to Paris (search) to be with Arafat later Monday — of conspiring to usurp the role her husband has held for four decades as Palestinian leader.

Yeah, she sounds rational.

“You have to realize the size of the conspiracy. I tell you they are trying to bury Abu Ammar alive,” she continued, using his nom de guerre. “He is all right and he is going home. God is great.”
