Hamas' M16s

That Palestinian state in Gaza is really working out well, isn't it?

"This is the first step in the establishment of the Islamic state," a Hamas member told Ynet from inside the Preventive Security Service building. "This is Islam's victory, Allah's victory, and we pray to Allah for brining us this victory."

All that money and arms that Congress sent to Fatah? Well, obviously it didn't serve its purpose in any way, Hamas was able to steamroller right over the top of Fatah. And now all those US arms are now in the hands of a gang of genocidal terrorists sworn to destroy one of America's staunchest allies. If only someone could have possibly predicted that arming one group of America-hating terrorists battling another was a bad idea...

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.

Odd that Congress bickers and fights very publicly over funding US troops battling murderous terrorists but they have no problem whatsoever in handing over arms, money and training to murderous terrorists themselves.
