#1 Does it mean he will be unable to communicate the numbers of his Swiss accounts?

#4 This terrorist has always been light in the loafers. He received the Nobel Peace Prize to try to dissuade him from terrorism which didn't work. He was not killed earlier by the Israelis because they were afraid to kill a Nobel winner (afraid of which way world opinion would go). Most likely he will die soon. His buddies are planning now for that eventuality while he is is France. Not sure what happens after Arafat. Doesn't seem like it could be any worse than with him.

#5 And this is news how?

(e.g. Arafish has lost it a long time ago)

#6 It may be too late to get the PIN for the cash machine for Suha. Wonder if he got a good financial planner before he went gaga? Mike Morley, you are a trust planner, what is your analysis?

#12 Ararat, in critical condition, has officially lost control of both the PLO and his bowels. "Send another 10 year old to the settlements to kill Jewish cripples...ooops...I think I just shat myself!"

#13 I am about halfway convinced that he is totally ga-ga, non compos, candidate for the veggie patch and on the downhill slide... and that is why the Israelis allowed him to leave. They must be fairly sure he no longer poses any sort of danger, even if he does go on breathing for a while.
So, who's making the popcorn?

#14 Sgt. Mom are you suggesting maybe the old boy checker into the hotel California?

He ain't ever cominmg back, not even in a box.

#15 Pretty much, yes, and the Israelis know it. He's incapable, drooling, incontinent, and very possibly terminal, and I don't think it can he hidden by the inner circle for very much longer. Sooo... any bets on wether Jimmy Carter will go to the funeral?

#16 Sgt. Mom---Frank G and I were just discussing Jimmuh and this subject a few hours ago. We agree---Jimmuh will be at the funeral.

#20 A.P.: Trusts are unique to the "common law" legal system developed in England and now found in the US and the rest of the Anglosphere. The French, and continental Europe in general (inclusing Switzerland), have the "civil law" (Code Napoleon) system, which does not have the concept of trusts at all, and in its pure form does not even allow for the idea of a last will and testament. I don't know what the legal system is in Egypt, Tunisia, or the PA-administered West Bank (Does the PA=administered West Bank even have a legal system beyond "AK-47 justice?"), but if money or beer were on the line I'd guess it was closer to the civil law model than the common law model. Plus, I'm fairly confident that in Arafat's financial and estate planning, as in everything else he's ever done, strict compliance with law is just not an issue.

All of which is a long way of saying I have no idea what he might have done.

#21 and best of all he will run up a big bill at the French hospital and then stiff them

#22 And moving on to the next practical order of business... where are they going to plant him? Knowing, of course, that the spot will become one of the "holy places" to his many adherants? Israel won't want him back in any form, don't think Jordan will go for it... Kuwait? Nahhh..The Magic Kingdom? Place your bets, gentleman, please...

#23 Les Invalides or Le Pantheon. The Arc de Triomphe would be over the top, even for Chiraq.

yep - along with Cristiane Amanpour - and P.R. - stop with the visuals - I'm eating

#25 OK... but will Jimmuh appear to be devastated with grief, or merely stoic and resigned to the loss, like Suha. (You want nauseating visuals??? Suha and Arafat produced a child, allegedly together. Short pause while everyone contemplates that visual, and runs into the facility to barf...)

#26 Sgt. Mom: Genetics might have determined Arafat's looks for the first ten to twenty years of his life, but I think by now his appearance is dominated by his various lifestyle choices.
