#5 Actually this is a very revealing statement. To wit. All kinds of experts always attribute long term, complicated plans to various Jihad groups. Hello! Earth to experts: Muslims don't plan all that well---their successes are due to persistently doing "what comes natural".

#6 Hamas was surprised by the easy and swift defeat of Fatah

I guess they figured a whole lot more folks were going to die - and didn't care.

#7 I read this a little differently. Look at what he says about Fatah

Taha said there were two reasons for Fatah's defeat. "The Fatah security forces had originally been established on shaky foundations. This is the main reason why they collapsed so quickly. Hamas had long been demanding the reconstruction of these forces on national, not factional, bases. These forces should have worked for the interests of all Palestinians, rather than the faction's alone," he explained.

He said the second reason for Fatah's downfall was because the faction's commanders and leaders had either run away or surrendered to Hamas. "

In other words, Fatah has no claim to be part of the Palestinian government.

#11 I guess not all cultures are familiar with the phrase, "Be careful what you wish for."

#12 Fatah looked into the future and decided a token resistance was a good strategy.
