The UN is surprised to find out that when you put terrorists in charge of guarding seven tons of unexploded ordnance, gee, they don’t do such a great job of guarding it.
Senior UN officials were outraged Tuesday evening as they confirmed Hamas has appropriated seven tons of weaponry and ammunition stored in UN warehouses in Gaza and intended to be destroyed by sappers.
The officials demanded the ordnance stockpile be returned immediately.
But this is the funniest quote of the entire story:
Hamas’ motive to appropriate the ordnance is unclear, although most estimate that the group believes the unexploded shells can be reused. Hamas has yet to officially comment on the allegations, though sources within the organization said it was highly likely that members of the military wing sought to reuse the weaponry.
Gee. Ya think?
So, how many truckloads do you think it took to take the whole seven tons, and how is it that the UN didn’t notice the trucks removing the ordnance?
Uh-huh.
Flabbergasting.
If they were using the old US deuce and a half it would take only three trucks to lift that much weight, or one making three trips. Three-quarter ton pickups you’d need ten. But of course the question was, what the bleep was Hamas doing guarding the stuff? Do people have to take IQ tests to get jobs with the UN, and only those scoring moronic or below are hired?
