Corrupt clowns versus corrupt clowns in Fath
""The forgeries in Iran were much smaller than what we had in Palestine," said former Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmad Qureia, who was not elected for the Fatah movement's Central Committee in elections this week. The results were published Wednesday, and in response, Qureia said large question marks hovered over the election process and the counting of the votes. "Arrangements were made behind the scenes that led to having some of the names pushed aside and other names forced in," he said, alluding to the last minute addition of Palestinian Presidency head Tayeb Abdul Rahim to the 16th spot out of 19 in the Central Committee. Qureia added, "There was agreement that the vote for the Central Committee's member would take place at one ballot station, and we found out on the day of the election that there were ten ballot stations.""
