Hopefully they will kill each other to the point of where only 20 or so of them will be left on either side.

Is this the same internecine that is going on in Iraq? It's all about power and the almighty $. Lots of money to be made from those stupid enough to think they can win against US and the greatest military men and women in the world. But as the saying goes "a fool and his money...."

The U.S. may be making a mistake. I think Hamas will win. Fatah may be marginally better armed, but unless the U.S. or Israel provides air support (politically impossible) Hamas' better trained, more motivated militia will waltz right over them.

No, the tribal nonsense in Iraq and the Fatah/Hamas dispute have really nothing in common.

...the United States is secretly preparing to give £50 million to support forces loyal to ....stupid stupid stupid

give 'em cash they kill each other, don't give 'em cash they kill each other. I vote for the no cash scenario, and free popcorn for us to munch on while we watch! :-)

The fighting came as it emerged that the United States is secretly preparing to give £50 million to support forces loyal to the Fatah leader and president of the Palestinian National Authority

I hope the new congress has enough smarts to shoot this one down. No nore money for terrorists, regardless of what side they are on. Let them all kill each other and swim in their own crap until they get sick enough of it to stop. If the rest of the world or the other countries in the mid east think it is such a problem, let them do something about it.

The more they kill each other the less the IDF has to deal with.

Now that is really being practical. Anyone who says this White House is too ideological to deal with anyone we don't like needs to check this out. $50 million to folks like that is hard to swallow, but probably necessary.

I believe that was Bush-41 and Clinton's policy w/regard to Afghanistan in the 1990s. How well did that turn out for US interests?

It isn't $50 million. It's over $100,000,000. The figure listed in the article was in pounds, not dollars (a pound is worth much more than a dollar) but it is still low.

That's what I was thinking. It's a win/win for everyone.
