File under: Hamas

#1 Hamas had begun moving some of its elite units to its new stronghold.

Elite? Hamas? What does it take to be a ELITE HAMAS unit? They bring their own children and women to hide behind?

#2 Maybe there is a detachment of al-Quds and one of al-Qaeda. They know how to maximize the use of human shield cover.

#3 Hmmmmmm, twice the size of Gaza huh?

How about Israel takes over all of Gaza. That still leaves the Paleo's twice the territory that they have now. They'd have their true Hamasastan.

First rocket they fire nuke the place.

#5 Very doubtful that Egypt would pull all their forces out. It would lead to Paleo confiscation of taxes, then Paleo confiscation of businesses and homes.

#6 For some reason I imagine the elite units have large artillery shells strapped to their heads like in the cartoons.

#7 Paleos looking for Lebensraum, I suppose.....Things are a bit cramped in Gaza.

Oh, please, let that happen! I want to see Egyptians walking around with keys around their necks, lamenting the homes stolen from them by the Palestinians.

#9 Actually, no: they've FATA'ed that part of the Sinai, with the collaboration of the Egyptians.

Think about it. The land is still Egyptian, so Egypt will protest any attacks by Israelis on Hamas in the Sinai, yet by having their military units out of that area, they give Hamas a free hand to act.

Here's the mapping:

Egypt == Pakistan
Israel == Afghanistan
Hamas == Taliban
Hamas occupied Sinai == FATA

Clever.

#10 We have paid Egypt $2 billion a year for more than two decades to see that this would not happen. Now is the time to pull the plug on Mubarak and his miserable unworthies.

#11 Clever.

Of course, that also means that if Hamas' attacks on Israel worsen significantly, Egypt is a legitimate target for a response attack too.

#12 WND > EGYPT STANDS DOWN AS WEAPONS RUSH INTO GAZA; + TOPIX > EGYPT TURNS OVER GAZA TO HAMAS/ ISRAEL'S ENEMIES.

Lest we fergit, 1980's-Present > MANY PALESTN. ACTIVS-RADICALISTS + EVEN A FEW PRO-PEACE ISRAELI, WESTERN ACTIVISTS SUPPOR AN "PEACE OPTION" = PLAN TO BUILD A PA/PALESTN.-CONTROLLED "HIGHWAY" BTWN GAZA + WEST BANK.
