Egyptians warming up the toaster for Hamas?
Craig Schamp links to this UPI piece that says the Soddies have agreed that the Egyptians can dispose of Hamas.Under the guise of helping the Palestinian Authority with their reforms so called Egyptian experts will begin to appear in the West Bank and Gaza. Only they'll be intelligence operatives, and soon designated suicide bombers and their support teams will begin to disappear. The United States has extracted a promise from Egypt not to station forces permanently in the Palestinian enclave. "(The Egyptians) are absolutely ferocious" one U.S. intelligence officer says admiringly.If Hamas ever goes away, it will probably be something along these lines. Yasser's gunnies don't appear to have the strength to control them, as evidenced by Yassin's waltz out from house arrest to be the caller at the party hoedown. The House of Sod might regard them as being out of control, which would be why they'd be willing to sell them down the river. They're not the most reasonable bunch, even by Arab standards and the control seems to be vested in Syria so it's no skin of the Sods' nose if they go down â as long as they get something in return.
