| Israel has arrested 3 Hamas lawmakers but released 3 civilians they had arrested in Ramallah. The Israeli Navy has opened fire on Kassam rocket launch sites in northern Gaza, as the IDF prepares to move into the northern areas. Kofi Anan pressured Olmert to wait for negotiations, but the Israeli PM noted that the Hamas-led government was neither helping to release the hostages nor putting an end to rocket attacks on Israel from Gaza - which continued today. Anan was unaware that rocket attacks have been happening.

| #12 Palestinian Group Says Israeli Executed It's one thing when a terrorist groups claim to have "executed" someone, but it enrages me when media use the word outside of quoting the terrs. Here's an example from AP (surprise, surprise). After decades I cancelled my NatGeo subscription after they said that Nick Berg was executed. |

| #11 Annan was nonplussed. "What missiles?" he asked. Perhaps Kofi's flappers were on a break when he was informed? |

The statement from the Popular Resistance Committees in Gaza said the settler, Eliahu Asheri, had been executed. The group, which has links to the ruling Hamas, had threatened to execute the Israeli if Israel did not halt its invasion of Gaza. Palestinian security officials in the West Bank city of Ramallah said they believed a body had been found. Israeli forces arrested the deputy prime minister of the Hamas government, two other Cabinet ministers and four lawmakers in a raid on a complex of buildings in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Palestinian security officials said.

| #4 Kofi Annan is the poster child for why I want the UN to be dismantled and shipped to the Sudan. He seriously does not have a clue whats going on. I think someone should nominate me for the Nobel Peace Prize. I do as much for World Peace as he does. AND I probably know more about current affairs than he does. Since I read Rantburg and he obviously doesn't. |
