Iran & Iraq and how they use the Palestinians

[Undertoad]

On 60 Minutes tonight, some credible evidence of how the system really works. Hundreds of documents in Arafat's handwriting, making deals with Iran and Iraq to send munitions, to fund bombing, to take delivery of C4 and the expertise in how to use it.

Not only did they send it all... Iran and Iraq also directed how and even when to use it.

Remember a few months back when we made the rounds with the Arab world, and got an earful from them about how <i>we shouldn't be so concered with Iraq, when after all, this Palestinian problem persists which we feel is a bigger problem.</i>

Why would both "secular" Iraq and "100% Islamic law" Iran both send bombs and bomb builders and money to Palestine? Maybe because it's like a magician causes you to watch one hand while the other hand is where the real action is. And maybe negotiating with Arafat is useless not because he's a tough negotiator, but because he isn't the true power broker here. Maybe he doesn't even have the ability to wage peace.
