#1 Might be better off flying the coup

#2 Never really thought I'd say this, but I hope so. And I hope it is just a stepping stone to a much better and more decent government.

With all due respect, gorb, I doubt it. Firstly, we're talking about Abbas and Fatah here, who were trained by, led by, and given a model to emulate, in the GrandMaster of Graft and Deceit, Yassir Arafat. This would be a coup led by the old guard, so it will be a return to business as usual.

Secondly, we're talking about the Palestinians here: utterly nothing has happened, and absolutely no evidence has appeared, to indicate that they have kicked the habit of consistently missing an opportunity when opportunity knocks whilst riding a D-9 through the door.

#5 "It could happen as early as this weekend."

Ahhh…wasn’t there supposed to be a massive Israeli invasion planned for this weekend? These guys really need to coordinate their calendars.

Yeah, I know. I was just hoping the pain would be turned down to excruciating for the near future, at least.

Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll take each other out. It seems that anarchy would be better than what is going on over there now.
