Osama In Gaza
Friday, January 11, 2002 By: Juan Paxety
According to Islamicnews.org, Saudi Arabia had made a contrabution of $45 million to Palestine, and is sending:
...five large containers carrying 10 kidney dialysis machines, plus a large electricity generator, plus other medical equipment to the Shifa Hospital in Gaza.
And just who is it we know who has kidney problems? Someone who is rich and a Saudi?
See Reuel Marc Gerecht's op-ed piece in The New York Times regarding why we should still fear bin Laden and bin Ladenism.
The Middle East is a brutal land of paradoxes. Though we should all hope that Osama bin Laden and his followers have already received their punishment from the United States Air Force, it is entirely possible that the war in Afghanistan will make Al Qaeda a more focused, careful, and lethal organization. Time will tell. In the meantime, American Marines ought to be all over Tora Bora and northern Pakistan.
