The staff that was disappointed in Arafat, that included Abbas, didnt it?

1. that's only one source, we all know what reasons yasser had to refuse

2. erm, siro... opera?

the source is Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia - doubt we'll get a better source anytime soon - and he confirms what Clinton and Dennis Ross say. Abbas and the other Pals can hardly contradict Arafat now, when openly defying him would mean losing power or worse. So other than Arafat himself, who else would be a source???

Its Clinton, Ross, Barak, all Baraks advisors (including dovish ones) and now Prince Bandar against Yasser.
