Hamas consulting with Iran...

No better place to get good advice, no?

Hamas has asked for guidance, instructions and financial assistance from Iran as it prepares to take over the Palestinian Authority, Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz told the European Union's foreign policy chief Javier Solana on Friday.

"Hamas is currently trying to obtain funding from Iran and has asked the Iranians for advice on how they think Hamas should lead the PA," Mofaz told Solana during a meeting at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem. "You can understand what type of PA the Hamas plans to establish here."
