GAZA, April 8 (Xinhuanet) -- A leader of the Islamic resistance movement Hamas on Thursday voiced his support for Iraqi insurgency against foreign occupation, calling Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and US President George W. Bush as "murderers."
"The Palestinian people are fully supporting the Iraqi people," Abdel Aziz Ranteesi said in a demonstration in Gaza City, where hundreds of Hamas supporters marched in the streets.
"Great and big greeting to Moqtada al-Sadr, we support you and God with you," Ranteesi said, referring to the radical Iraqi Shiite leader.
He said that the hundreds of demonstrators "came here to tell the Iraqi people that the Palestinian people are with you, you are fighting the American terrorism as we fight the Zionist terrorism."
"I'm certain that you would win your battle against the Americans and you would of course defeat the American terrorism," said Ranteesi.
"You are there in the frontier because you are fighting the enemies of God and Islam, the murderers Bush and Sharon," he told the rally.
The crowds waved Iraqi and Palestinian flags, chanting slogans against the coalition forces led by the United States, as dozens of armed militants fired in the air to express their protest.
Similar demonstrations broke out in the streets in various refugee camps in the central Gaza Strip, where the Palestinians called upon Arab and Muslim nations to save the Iraqi people from the US-led occupation.

A Chinese publication.
They're going to be about as reliable as what? The New York Times or The Washington Post?
The majority of the Iraqi people don't want to be "saved" from the U.S. led "occupation." The majority of them don't want us to leave.
And most of the people who are involved in this recent insurgency aren't even Iraqis.

I think Israeli and American SF should have a joint training exercise tomorrow.

So does the US and Israel continue to pretend we're not fighting a war against Islam, and allow the Arab countries to coalesce, or do we just throw down the gauntlet?

Unforunately, I think the former.
Only if Israel or the US take a major hit will they become more forthcoming. And maybe not even then.
If Bush wins in November he may come out as his Evangelical base wants him to, but I doubt it. His ties to his "close personal friends," the saudis and his family history will prevent it.

Which quote is Rantisi and which is John Kerry:
"They (Iraqis) need to go to the world and say we're not going to have an American authority that is creating this new government"
"Great and big greeting to Moqtada al-Sadr, we support you and God with you"

A leader of the Islamic resistance movement Hamas on Thursday voiced his support for Iraqi insurgency against foreign occupation, calling Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and US President George W. Bush as "murderers." Are you trying to tell me that there is a "bond" between Hamas and the radical Islamic insurgents in Iraq?
Why I'm shocked to the point of speechlessness..........really!
