Iranian Fist Still Clenched
Iran is giving Hamas thug Khaled Meshaal a hero’s welcome, on a whirlwind tour that includes meetings with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) — Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal met with Iran’s supreme leader on Sunday, and provided Ayatollah Ali Khamenei a detailed account of Hamas’ “victory” over Israel in Gaza, according to Iranian media reports.
Meshaal — who lives in exile in Damascus, Syria — is the head of Hamas, which rules the Palestinian territory of Gaza. Hamas has claimed victory over Israeli forces, saying the Jewish state failed to destroy its ability to fire rockets at southern Israel. But Israel has said it achieved its goals in Gaza, which was to change the security situation for the south.
Earlier in the day, Meshaal met with Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, and is scheduled to meet later with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, according to the reports.
But I’m sure they had a good heart to heart talk about the need to unclench their fists.
