Here we have more results of the neocon philosophy of spreading
democracy thru the Moslem world. Another case where reality trumps
the cloistered world of ideologues and pushes the world toward
chaos.
Neocon agendas for "freedom and democracy" given life by an
incompetent President results in bringing Hamas to power and open
civil war in Iraq. Nothing like pushing democracy on a people who
aren't ready for it.
Let's retire George and get him a job he might be able to handle.
Like maybe managing a group of T-ball players.
The following ought to fit right into the plans of Iran, Syria and
Hamas in Lebanon, ya think?

ISRAEL's new defence minister Ehud Barak is planning an attack on Gaza
within weeks to crush the Hamas militants who have seized power
there.
According to senior Israeli military sources, the plan calls for
20,000 troops to destroy much of Hamas's military capability in days.
The raid would be triggered by Hamas rocket attacks against Israel or
a resumption of suicide bombings.
Barak, who is expected to become defence minister tomorrow, has
already demanded detailed plans to deploy two armoured divisions and
an infantry division, accompanied by assault drones and F-16 jets,
against Hamas.
The Israeli forces would expect to be confronted by about 12,000 Hamas
fighters with arms confiscated from the Fatah faction that they
defeated in last week's three-day civil war in Gaza.
Details of the plan emerged as Fatah forces in the West Bank stormed
Hamas-run buildings, including the parliament in Ramallah, where they
tried to seize the deputy speaker.
Israeli officials believe their forces would face even tougher
resistance in Gaza than they encountered during last summer's war
against Hezbollah in south Lebanon.
A source close to Barak said that Israel could not tolerate an
aggressive "Hamastan" on its border and an attack seemed unavoidable.
"The question is not if but how and when," he said.
