The one nation in the world mourning Saddam...

[Skeptic]

...the Palestinians, who have taken to the streets burning US and israeli flags, and shouting slogans in Saddam's favor.

Gee, what a surprise.

But it's all israel's fault, somehow, I'll bet.

Is this breaking news? I can't find it on CNN or FOX news websites.

Got a link?

Saddam bought off the Pals with $35 million in rewards for suicide bombers and their families. That money is gone now. They probably spent it all on something stupid, like a hooked rug or an Xbox.

It is on the FOX news ticker, and the jerusalem post has an AP report on the subject as well.

RAMALLAH (Reuters) - Disbelief and gloom seized many Palestinians Sunday at news of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s capture as Israel fired off a telegram of congratulations to Washington.

The former Iraqi ruler was a hero to many Palestinians for his stand against Israel and its U.S. ally, as well as for helping families of Palestinians dead in an uprising.

For Israel, he was a menace over the horizon who long bankrolled the enemy.

"It's a black day in history," said Sadiq Husam, 33, a taxi driver in Ramallah, West Bank seat of the Palestinian Authority (news - web sites).

"I am saying so not because Saddam is an Arab, but because he is the only man who said no to American injustice in the Middle East," he said.

yep, just like 9/11 was down to Saddam...

BTW, the Palestinian-loving , left-wing NPR did report (over the weekend and today) that Palestinians were lamenting the capture of Saddam.

I haven't heard anything from the Palestinian Authority, but... anyone who laments Saddam's capture is an idiot.

Skeptic:...the Palestinians, who have taken to the streets burning US and israeli flags, and shouting slogans in Saddam's favor. Palestine isn't a nation yet, due to Sharon's policies.

BTW, in a squater area such as that in which the Palestinians live, where their news sources are controlled and censored, why would you expect them to behave any differently?
Gee, what a surprise. A surprise for you perhaps, but not for anyone with a thought in their head.
But it's all israel's fault, somehow, I'll bet. Get help with your paranoid delusions.
