File under: Hamas

#1 Israel hasnt gone into the cities in a major way, at least not yet. And Hamas is not as well provided with anti tank missiles as Hezbo was from what I understand.

So this may be a victory for Mubarak, a marginal victory so far for Israel, but a big win for the MBT? I don't think so.

#2 "And Hamas is not as well provided with anti tank missiles as Hezbo was from what I understand."

Exactly. And if you think about this for a moment, it flies in the face of what Jimmy Carter was apparently trying to say. Hamas has had a lot of time to smuggle weapons. It is obvious that they didn't use their resources to obtain weapons they could use in a defensive way and instead obtained only offensive weapons.

They apparently had every opportunity to arm themselves with anti-tank and anti-personnel weapons but chose instead to arm themselves with mortars and missiles that they lobbed across the border. There is nothing "defensive" about those smuggling tunnels or Hamas' weapons.

They are bloody terrorists and the world will be a better place without the likes of them in it.
