We've gone over some decently detailed scenarios for how arms meant for Fatah police officers end up being used for terrorism: Fatah men as Al Aksa terrorists, smuggling from sympathetic Al Aksa members, selling for profit, etc. But why bother with that when there are so many more direct routes to take:

Democrats and foreign policy sophisticates won't let the US fund the less than savory enemies of our enemies, on the off-chance that those weapons will be turned against US troops decades down the line. Remember the thinly veiled relish with which certain journalists approached the potential of US-made stingers taking down NATO helicopters in Afghanistan? Like that.

But the solution when arms don't even get to the questionable allies that they're meant for? Send in more. Abbas and the still-to-be-revealed non-terrorists who support him will get it right some day:

Super.
