Hamas: Suicide Bombing 'Self Defense'

In the first suicide bombing attack on Israel since Hamas took over the Palestian Parliament, 9 people were killed and more than 60 injured.

But that's not the real story. This is:
"This is the natural result of continued Israeli aggression and escalation and can only be considered a form of self-defense," said Sami abu Zuhri, a spokesman for the group.
There is precedent, however. The invasion of Iraq by the Bush Gang was done as a "form of self-defense." Except, they called it pre-emptive something-or-the-other. They've told so many tales about Iraq it's hard to remember them all.
