#1 US to fatah = we want a pal civil war where you go after Hamas.
Fatah - cant go after them, too dangerous. (Abu mazen - if i go after them, they and Arafat will get rid of me. Arafat - cant go after them, theyre my pals against Abu Mazen.
Fatah - hey we could go after this tiny Al-ansar splinter,up in Lebanon, maybe that will earn brownie points with the americans. They;ll think we're just like the kurds.
But then it turns out the AQ type pals arent so splintered afterall.

Hamas and IJ sitting it out I guess. I suppose theyer not that strong in Eil-el hilweh.
