Hamas warns Pakistan against recognising Israel
ISLAMABAD: The founder and spiritual leader of the Islamic militant group Hamas said on Thursday that America was trying to trick Pakistan into recognizing Israel, a move he warned would be a "disaster."
Sheik Ahmed Yassin made the comments in a recorded speech aired on loudspeakers at a rally of nearly 10,000 Islamic students at a university in the capital, Islamabad. Pakistan has no diplomatic ties with Israel, but President Pervez Musharraf has encouraged a national debate about whether Islamabad should recognize the Jewish state.
On Thursday, Yassin’s message said in Arabic, "Pakistan should not recognize Israel. Pakistan should not be deceived by the Americans. Recognition of Israel would be a disaster." An interpreter translated the speech into Urdu.
Yassin also spoke about American troops in Afghanistan. "Despite its might, America is trapped in Afghanistan. America’s oppression and might will not last forever,’’ he said. "Muslims should get more strength. Muslims will rule in the future. Muslims should get strength by working hard."

Sometimes I think we should just go after Yassin and end the whole thing. Start from the top and work down.

I always wondered how hard it would be to get "Sarumon". Surely a Sniper or Cobra attack Heli's main gun could have picked him off as he was being crowd surfed in his wheelchair.

Forget about that, just have an F-15 drop a 2000 lb bomb on him and his buddies.

I often wonder why Israel hasn't done that.

No, it just means you live and wait until the next one which you know is coming, and hope and pray that the IDF stops it before it happens. A couple months ago the IDF prevented a car bombing that had over 100 Kgs. of explosives in the back of the car.

I really don't think so. I doubt if they've reached over 50.

So why not kill the head cheese of Hamas? I mean, they are vowing revenge anyway.

Wonder how bad things would get for Hamas, not to mention the area in General. If they declare war on Pakistan? Who'd be capable of bringing the fight to Hamas in the Occupied Territories.
