Fatah leader: PA forces are private fiefdoms
2004-10-21
The power struggle between rival Palestinian security services is the main reason behind the state of anarchy and lawlessness in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, a senior Fatah official said Wednesday. Sakher Habash, a veteran member of the Fatah Central Committee and close aide to Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat, accused the commanders of the Palestinian security forces of running the services as if they were private fiefdoms.
"And not giving me my cut," he added. "We're going to have to fix that."

#5  Better they should off each other so they don't have time to try and kill Jews.

#4  When the corruption starts at the top, it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise if the bottom is infected as well.

Ya' think?

How clueless do these clowns have to be to not realize this from the start?

#2  I continue to be amused that they are referred to as "security" forces -- which is exactly what they are not.

#1  Payback is a bitch, Sakher Habash. You've created thugocracy and now you complain that thugs find it a marvelous environment to realize their inner potential?

The more fiefdoms, the merrier.
