PA: Mossad set up fake al Qaeda cell in Gaza Strip
The Palestinian Authority accused Israel's Mossad spy agency on Saturday of setting up a fake al Qaeda cell in Gaza so that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon could justify Israeli attacks in Palestinian areas. "It is a big, big, big lie to cover (Sharon's) attacks and his crimes against our people everywhere," Palestinian President Yasser Arafat told reporters at his headquarters in the West Bank city of Ramallah....

So....is a "big, big, big, big" lie worse than a "big, big , big" lie? Or is it just bigger?

You all are forgetting Arafat's Parkinson's-like bumbling English. He probably just forgot what he was saying a few times and the reporters kept writing.

Could you imagine a face-to-face meeting between the two? I would imagine that they either speak in Arabic or English (more likely). And with their broken English, could you imagine the amount of misunderstandings?

Sharon isn't as bad as Barak though...that guy sounds like Elmer Fudd.
