PA Gaza security chief: We will disarm no Palestinian
2003-05-11
JPost - reg req'd
In a move contradictory to US and international pressure to crack down on terrorist activity, Col. Rashid Abu Shbak, head of the Palestinian Authority's Preventive Security Service in the Gaza Strip, on Sunday said his organization had no intention of disarming any Palestinian.
They will, however, crack down on armed and unarmed Jeeewwwwsss found in Gaza
Abu Shbak said it is the Palestinian people's right to continue its efforts in ending the occupation of the territories, while US Secretary of State Colin Powell was on his way to meet newly-elected Palestinian prime minister Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen).
"Besides which, those Hamas suckers would kill us!"
It is the Palestinian security bodies' intention to incorporate other Palestinian organizations into its ranks, Abu Shbak said.
Colin - why bother? These mooks won't honor any promises they make

#6  Well, they can't beat the IDF there, they couldn't beat the coalition guys with the goombas they sent to Iraq, so they might as well take turns seeing if they can croak each other. It's kinda like the Minor League World Series.

#5  The Qaeda sympathizers are the current flame in Ein el-Hellhole. When it first flared up last July, Hamas, fergawdsake, found itself acting as peacemakers...

#4  And meanwhile in Ein el-Hellhole, Fatah is duking it out with Hizballah... Hamas too? PFLP?

Can't tell the players without a program.

#3  Arafat and the other guy have only limited control over Hamas. I have to wonder if the recent special attention to Hamas by the Israelis was an effort to eliminate the main threat to a unified Paleo government. If the PA can achieve greater control over Gaza, they then would have to demonstrate their willingness (or not) to proceed. Now, all they do is whisper quietly "Well, but of course, there is Hamas..."

#2  This road-show to peace is going nowhere until Hamas, Hezbollah, and all the jihadi nutcase groups are destroyed, and Baby-wipes is expelled or deep-sixed.
