HOLY LAND: HAMAS CAPTURES THE GAZA STRIP & ALL THE WEAPONRY THE UNITED STATES HAD SENT TO THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY

So the U.S. government is 'SHOCKED - - - SHOCKED ! ! ! ' I tell ya by the Hamas win...

I have no idea why they would be shocked?!? I am neither shocked nor awed by the fact that the U.S. government has been caught with its pants down around its ankles once again, when it comes to the moslem jihad...

Are they living in another dimension, because in my dimension I knew that Hamas would win, just as I thought Hamas would win the elections...

But nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, the elites inside of the Beltway just don't seem to get it...

Gawd, I would love to be a fly on the wall in the Oval Office to see the looks of "SHOCK & AWE" ON THE FACES OF THE MEMBERS OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION...

They would be priceless...



U.S. SHOCKED BY HAMAS WIN

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The Bush administration has been stunned by Hamas's capture of the Gaza Strip.

Officials said the defeat of forces aligned with PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas took the administration by surprise. They said that neither the administration nor the U.S. intelligence community expected Fatah to collapse.

"There is shock and awe," an official said. "It's a major blow to the administration's policy."

At one point, the administration urged Egypt to send troops into the Gaza Strip to save Fatah. Officials said the regime of President Hosni Mubarak refused, and the administration then pressed Abbas to launch a full-scale offensive against Hamas.

HAMAS SEIZES U.S.-FINANCED WEAPONS, EQUIPMENT

GAZA CITY [MENL] -- Hamas has captured thousands of assault rifles and scores of combat vehicles financed by the United States and supplied by Egypt and Jordan to the Palestinian Authority.

The Islamic movement acquired the weapons, ammunition and vehicles during Hamas's capture of security installations in the Gaza Strip aligned with PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. For the most part, Fatah-aligned PA officers fled the Hamas assaults.

"I would say that they have most of the weapons and armored vehicles sent by Egypt and Jordan over the last year," a PA security officer said.

The officer said Hamas seized thousands of U.S.-origin M-16 and Soviet-origin AK-47 Kalashnikov assault rifles as well as military radios. He said other booty captured by Hamas included trucks, mortars and hand grenades.
