Bush declares: "We must get rid of Arafat"

JERUSALEM, (AFP) - US President George W. Bush (news - web sites) told an Israeli journalist that "we must get rid of" Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat (news - web sites), the mass-circulation Yediot Aharonot daily has reported

Bush's comments came in a brief exchange with the paper's correspondent during a Christmas drinks party in Washington, several hours after a keynote speech by Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (news - web sites) Thursday in which he outlined plans for unilateral disengagement from peace negotiations with the Palestinians.

But he is so cute with that towel on his head

Arafat does need to go. He is holding back any procedures a new Prime Minister could implement by interrupting in negotiations.

He looks like a rat with bad teeth.

Lets get rid of him and his poor dental hygiene!
