'Hamas using US weapons against IDF'

[bemildred]

Let's have a cheer for Elliot Abrams, the only guy dumber than Doug Feith.

According to Palestinian sources in the Gaza Strip, most of the gunmen who have been fighting the IDF over the past few days are members of Hamas's armed wing, Izaddin Kassam.

An IDF soldier displays weapons discovered during IDF operations in Gaza. "At least 2,000 Hamas gunmen have been deployed in the northern Gaza Strip to take part in the fighting," the sources told The Jerusalem Post.

The sources estimated that Izaddin Kassam has at least 15,000 members divided into four brigades in the Gaza Strip.

They added that the Hamas gunmen were using many American-made arms seized from the Fatah-controlled Palestinian Authority security forces in June.

3. As I sometimes say, evil is a sub-category of stupid.

You can be stupid without being evil, but it's hard to be really evil without also being really stupid, at least about some things. Maybe it's as simple as having a blind spot in certain areas, or a fixation or something, but being really evil never turns out to be the pragmatic way to go.

4. This one goes hand in hand

with last weeks attempt to make the AQ-Hamas connection, there was a thread here about that, I took it as a sign something bad was about to happen and well......., probably will hear it again soon.

5. Reminds me of the 1980s Capitol Steps parody of "We Are the World"...

'We arm the world
We and the Kremlin
We arm the ones who if you're in their way
You won't be livin'

If only more people had seen, and still did see, the dangers!
