The Palestinians, If Nothing Else, Are Consistent....

The scene in Arab East Jerusalem on September 11th, 2001:



And the word out of the headquarters of the "moderate" Palestinian faction, Fatah, yesterday:

In their announcement, a copy of which reached MAAN [private Palestinian news agency], the [Al-Aqsa Martyrs'] Brigades said: ‘The Islamic nation awoke to a catastrophe the reports of the Shahid – (Martyr-) death of the Sheikh, Jihad-fighter Osama bin Laden, in a treacherous manner, by the gangs of the heretics and those who stray.’


"...We say to the American and Israeli occupier: the [Islamic] nation which produced leaders who changed the course of history through their Jihad and their endurance, is a nation that is capable of supplying an abundance of new blood into the arteries of the resistance and is capable of restoring the glory of Islam and the flag of Allahs oneness, Allah willing.’”

Good luck with that.  Seems like Allah wasn't all that willing to protect Osama bin Laden on Sunday.  Maybe he, too, is powerless before the Navy SEALS.

Which seems to guarantee most of the "new blood" the Palestinians are offering will be their own, splattered over the cobblestones and doorways of their self-constructed hellish abode...
