They've got Abbas' Fatah on the run:
"GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Hamas fighters overran two of the rival Fatah movement’s most important security command centers in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, and witnesses said the victors dragged vanquished gunmen into the street and shot them to death execution-style."
Here's the rub, Hamas isn't good at running a country, but it's good at taking over one. It seems that perpetual war is a good state for these guys (sort of like Rudy Giuliani). Of course what would any war within Palestine borders be, without war crimes charges being sicced on Israel:
"Israel was also caught up in the Palestinian power struggle, with Hamas officials alleging that an Israeli tank shell killed four children in the southern Gaza Strip town of Rafah. The Israeli army said it would look into the report.
"The report came after Hamas also seized control of Rafah, the second of Gaza’s four main towns to fall into the Islamic militants’ hands."
I can almost see it...two Hamas soldiers fire off a rocket. It flies through the air, dancing around when it suddenly malfunctions and obliterates a playground. The soldiers look at each other, and simultaneously say, "Israel."
It would be funny if it weren't so dammed serious.
