A 'bombshell' from Vanity Fair

We urge you to take the time to read this investigative piece from Vanity Fair's David Rose, which lays bare the machinations behind the US's unflagging support of Fatah strongman Muhammad Dahlan, and presents Hamas's takeover of Gaza last summer as the only way for Hamas to pre-empt a Fatah coup that could have happened at any time.

Following Hillary Clinton's recent and crucial primary victories, Alex Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair see only nastiness ahead as Clinton aims to discredit Barack Obama no matter the cost. This, they say, bodes extremely well for John McCain, and could also lead to an increasing rate of attrition among young Democratic voters as Obama's message of "hope" is trampled.
