Fatah gangs

I saw Fatah gangs' leader in the puppet parliament. His rhetoric reflects the shiftiness and confusions characterizing Fatah's position especially in the last few days. Just as the Hariri camp in Lebanon was expecting (and hoping) a demise of Hizbullah in a few days, the Fatah gangs were expecting a quick surrender of Hamas. When that did not happen, Fatah gangs are adjusting to try to catch up with public opinion, and through the use of repression. Today, this person said that Fatah did not ask for international troops in Gaza: which is exactly what Abu Mazen sad a few days ago.
