Hmmmm again Update Big whoops!

Noticed this at the Muqata:

According to PA law the presidency now automatically goes to the Speaker, but (Hamas) Speaker Aziz Dweik is currently in jail in Israel, making (Hamas) Gaza-based Deputy Speaker Ahmed Bahar next in line. Abu Mazeen is claiming he can extend his presidency for up to another year (he has been taking lessons from Ehud Olmert).

I don’t know if anything will come of this but with the UN now trying to bail Hamas out it will be interesting to see if this serves to blunt the impact of the French deal that Hamas rejected that was a PR win for Israel.

Update: Remind me to not hit save while running out the door, I meant to copy and paste one piece of the post and grabbed the whole thing. Just got back and noticed it now. My apologies to the muqata for snarfing his full post it was unintentional.

Fake stuff

We mentioned yesterday how Little Green Footballs confirmed that a photo that was thought to be fake on the war was in fact real.

However this one is bull

And CNN which put it out there had to pull it. But didn’t acknowledge its falsehood and left the article that went up with it. No Correction.

Confederate Yankee points out significant:

It has also been determined that the videographer who filmed his brother’s “death” is the general manager of a company that hosts web sites for Hamas.

Dr. Gilbert was allowed into Gaza by the Israelis just 2 days ago to provide medical care. He was involved in faking war crimes less than 48 hours later.

Remember this next time you hear a reporter whining about access to Gaza.

Did I just hear Pat Buchanan say on Morning Joe that the reason there is no peace is that there is not a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital?

Yup land for Peace has worked REALLY well hasn’t it?

6:41 a.m. Joe asked Pat why the international community never reacts before Israel has to strike? Pat is ducking dodging and weaving.

6:42 a.m. “Would prime minister Buchanan go after Hamas?” I would go in but chase like Pancho Villa. Accuses Israel of operating a penal camp.

6:45 a.m. How does Israel get the UN to intervene before they have to go in? Nobody wants to answer, because it is impossible.
