HAMAS AND THE BROTHERHOOD.... NOW WHAT?





Well, it seems the leadership of Hamas has yet another crisis on their hands and again, it's one they knew, or should have known, was coming!

You can bet many key leaders were reluctant to run from Damascus and the Iranian support for the sake of a fledgling Muslim Brotherhood movement stumbling to the forefront in Egypt.

But, like any strong Father figure, when the MB gave Hamas the preverbal, "it's time to come home now" speech.....well.... Hamas lowered it's head... and did as they were told.

There is not a single member of Hamas' leadership that could not see the hand writing on the wall when the Egyptian Military began to limit and to some degree control the flow moving by the  tunnels into Gaza.

Ok, long story short, Hamas has lost a critical supporting pillar now that the MB in Egypt is struggling for their own survival and the GCC partners will not be as sympathetic to the Hamas plight as everyone might think.

Once again the classic, "Law of unintended consequences" has taken place; well... maybe!!!

Does anyone really believe the Egyptian Military did not contemplate the impact on Hamas that taking down the MB would create?

Oh ya... what took place this week????

Yep.... more military troops into the Sinai..

Remember what I said last week..

Both the Muslim Brotherhood and the Egyptian Military, and their GCC partners, had plans incase things in Egypt decayed to the point they finally reached.

Hamas can be added to that list of "planners"...

Did Hamas anticipate what has come of the MB?

Most likely?

So, that begs the question..... what is that plan?

Lets see how long it takes to become visible.

Here is a hint........ if it involved support from GCC members......well....... I also said last week, " no plan survives contact with the enemy"!!!
