| Hamas leader says Shalit may be dead |
| 2009-02-17 |
| Like this mook wouldn't know? JERUSALEM - The soldier Israel is demanding be released from captivity may be dead, a top Hamas official has said. Anyone surprised by that? Anyone? Bueller? Senior exiled Hamas official Mussa Abu Marzuq said over the weekend that Shalit may have died during the recent Gaza war. Another one of the Heroes of Damascus... "I don't have enough information, but Shalit may have been among the children who died. But really, I don't know," he told the London-based Arabic newspaper Al-Hayat. Yeah, nobody tells me nuthin around here. "Shucks, he might be having tea with Osama Bin Laden for all I know!" Israel has tied the Hamas demand that Gaza's border crossing be reopened to the Shalit issue. Hamas is desperately trying to delink the two. ...and now I think I know why. Hamas "rejects any linkage of the truce question and that of the release of the soldier Gilad Shalit," the Hamas delegation told Egyptian mediators. "If the Gilad Shalit issue is solved, other things will be able to fall into place," Mark Regev, a spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, told London's Daily Telegraph. Israeli officials have not commented on Marzuq's statement. If he is dead, their only answer should be Hellfires and artillery. Nah, trade like for like. The Paleos want 400 or so mooks back for Shalit. If Shalit is dead, whack the 400 and then turn them over. |
