Mubarak: Hamas to blame for spilled Arab blood

[Mosby]

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak voiced harsh criticism against Hamas on Wednesday, accusing the Islamist Palestinian movement of being responsible for the shedding of Arab blood.

"How long will Arab blood continue to be spilled, only to hear those who admit to miscalculating the scope and scale of Israel's response?" Mubarak asked in a speech marking Egypt's national day to honor its police force.

Mubarak's comment came in reference to remarks reportedly made by Hamas political leader Khaled Meshal, who admitted at the end of the three-week Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip that he did not anticipate the scope of Israel's operation. Similar sentiments were expressed by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah at the end of the Second Lebanon War between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006.

Mubarak went on to say that resistance movements must take responsibility over the welfare of their people. "The resistance must take into account victories and losses. It is responsible for the people, who in turn should settle the score over the gains it has achieved, but also the sacrifices, the pain and the destruction it has caused," he said.

1. I know, I know

Mubarak is a "stooge", but perhaps people should listen to him,

How many more lives are Arabs willing to sacrifice, in order to make a political statement?

2. How long will Arab blood continue to be spilled by his Mukhabarat?

Just because this horrible dictator supports Israel doesn't give him anything interesting to say.
