| Who Put the Cement into Hamas' Hands? |
| 2014-08-20 |
| Much has been said and written about the terror tunnels that Hamas built in Gaza. But too little has been said about who it was that put the cement into HamasÂ’ hands, thus making the construction of the tunnels possible in the first place. Until now. In a bombshell revelation, Dennis Ross, the senior Mideast policy adviser to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from 2009 to 2011, has admitted that it was he who was assigned the task of pressuring Israel to ease up on its military blockade of Gaza, in the events after Israel's withdrawal from that region in 2005. "I argued with Israeli leaders and security officials, telling them they needed to allow more construction materials, including cement, into Gaza so that housing, schools and basic infrastructure could be built," Ross revealed in the Washington Post on August 10. "They countered that Hamas would misuse it, and they were right." Not that Hillary's State Department had been acting independently of the White House on the issue of cement. For example, Vice President Joe Biden told interviewer Charlie Rose, on Bloomberg TV in 2010: "We have put as much pressure and as much cajoling on Israel as we can to allow them to get building materials" and other forbidden items into Gaza. |

| #3 What's the score now? About 10,000,000 for common sense against 0 for good intentions? |

| #2 LOL at pic above--describes things well. "I argued with Israeli leaders and security officials, telling them they needed to allow more construction materials, including cement, into Gaza so that housing, schools and basic infrastructure could be built," Dennis, they found schools, housing, mosques, hospitals and basic infrastructure to be good places to hide rockets. Israel had Hamas' number. You been had. What was Plan B? Does this fall at Hildabeast's doorstep or does she have her Teflon pantsuit on? |
