I can't think of a better way to completely undermine Fatah, which I guess is what happened.

I also think this represents a new level of insanity for the Bush admin. First, call for elections before fatah was ready (not that that matters, in principle) and then after they lose, convince Arab nations to arm them? It sounds like this is after the House said that the US government would not provide the funds. Iran contra is an appropriate metaphor but this is in Gaza-how absolutely insane is this.

I don't think any presidency has directly fucked Palestine so hard, when the intention was to just screw Hamas, but then they won democratic elections, so we armed the losing party? This is a ridiculously failed policy. In terms of terrorism and the Palestinian situation, maybe almost as bad a blunder as Iraq. These people are morons. and fuck Elliot Abrams

You know, I'm reading this and thinking you are 100% correct. This type of stupidity is rarely seen outside of nocal's pants.

Brown people make crappy pets.

they're pretty light-skinned actually. As brown as jews.
