Hamas Politician: We Won Gaza War

Baghdad Bob - The new spokesperson for Hamas.

In other news, Ron Paul just declared victory in the 2008 election, and will be moving into the White House tomorrow afternoon.

Since a truce took hold this week, ending Israel’s three-week onslaught, Gaza’s Hamas rulers have declared victory and gone out of their way to show they are in control.

“We are in control and we are the winner,” Hamas legislator Mushir al-Masri declared this week, after attending the funeral of four Hamas gunmen.

But Israeli strikes destroyed all of Hamas’ security compounds and most government buildings. Its top two leaders, strongman Mahmoud Zahar and Gaza Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, have not yet appeared in public.

Al-Masri had better check the judge’s scorecard, because from where I am sitting it appeared that Hamas had its asses thoroughly kicked. The only reason the truce was agreed upon was because Israel was running out of targets to annihilate.

Idiots.
