Destroy Hamas? Something worse would follow: Pentagon intel chief
2014-07-27
(Reuters) - Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, the outgoing head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, warned on Saturday that the destruction of Hamas would only lead to something more dangerous taking its place, as he offered a grim portrait of a period of enduring regional conflict.

"If Hamas were destroyed and gone, we would probably end up with something much worse. The region would end up with something much worse," Flynn said at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado.

"A worse threat that would come into the sort of ecosystem there Â… something like ISIS," he added. Flynn said bluntly: "Is there going to be a peace in the Middle East? Not in my lifetime."
