| Hamas Unclear About Role In Israel-Iran Fighting |
| 2012-03-08 |
| Gazoo's ruling Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, on Wednesday sent conflicting signals on whether it would stay on the sidelines if war breaks out between Israel and Iran. Hamas front man Fawzi Barhoum said that the group has only "humble weapons that aim to defend and not to attack." This limited arsenal "does not give us the ability to be part of any regional war," he said. Â Later Wednesday, Iran's semi-official Fars news agency quoted another senior Hamas official in Gazoo, Mahmoud Zahar, as saying that "retaliation with utmost power is the position of Hamas with regard to a Zionist war on Iran." |

| #1 This limited arsenal "does not give us the ability to be part of any regional war," A very rational stance, which suggests it is unlikely to be the HamAss Plan du Jour. But let me suggest a possible scenario: the moment the HamAssians poke their heads out of their hidey-holes, the IDF comes down like a (metric) ton of bricks, no holds barred, no quarter given and most importantly, no concern for collateral damage, for they have greater concerns than your annoyances and want to get back to the Main Event as soon as possible. You will have your bumper crop of rubble and dead - women, children, bunnies, kittens, and misc. civilians - but the world's attention and news cameras will be focused elsewhere. An unappealing outcome for most, but given the genetic predisposition to Glorious Failure that seems endemic in the Arab world, I'd bet money on it. |
