You can blame the US for every last skinned knee around the globe if you like, but I think the more outlandish your statements are, the less support you're going to find for them.
What is outlandish about it Don ?
Who are the main players in trying to forment unrest by blocking funds(legitimate funds) to the elected government because they don't like the election results ?
Who has been arming the opposition ? an opposition BTW that still has two branches of it listed as proscribed terrorist organisations by the very people who are sending it weapons .
Why have they done it if not to forment a situation where the elected government ceases to be .
So Don show me what it is that you could possibly think is outlandish ?

But, Tribesman, like the ex-EU negotiator said, what Hamas sought to do with the fighting is to create new facts on the ground.
Yep and what have they got , Gaza , a completely unviable area by itself . While they gained political support in the West Bank due to the backlash against the corruption of the PLO they have very little real presence there , it remains the domain of the Fatah (Al-Asqa) and PFLP (and of course the IDF) . It will be interesting to see which way Islamic Jihad jumps in the civil war as they have a relatively strong presence in both territories .
