Reader comment on: Fatah Militant: U.S. Training Was Key to Intifada's Success

Submitted by george, Aug 26, 2007 15:02

A few "U.S trained" Fatah "security force" police with no tanks or Air Force compared to Israel's thousands of highly trained special ops/paratroopers/tanks, artillery, highly trained pilots and all around bad asses...and Israel is afraid of a few Fatah punks that got a few hours of State Department instruction on how to zero a rifle? Are you kidding me? Has Israel lost it's matzo balls or what?! They have the military power to crush these terririst punks completely, but if they don't have the will, they'll never have the way.
