#2 "We are very close to reaching the goals and securing them through diplomatic agreements" (Barak) :

1) this is ridiculous. "Close" means that the goals are not yet reached !

2) you don't "secure goals" through "diplomatic agrement" : you secure them by winning the battle on the ground !

Those Israeli leaders need to go !

What a bunch of incompetents !

#3 Muqata:
2:19 AM Almost made it to bed, Israel breaks ceasefire as IAF hits rocket launcher about to launch from Northern Gaza. That didn't last very long at all.

#4 Thanks for the information, Frank G.

But I continue not to be able to really trust Olmert & Co.

#6 I knew "The Muqata" blog, a good one indeed, but I hadn't checked it before writing here my angry comment...

I will look at "Isreallycool".

Thanks.

#7 Nineteen minutes? The ceasefire lasted for 19 minutes before HamAss tried to light one off? And I thought I suffered from poor impulse control. Wars end when one side loses the will to fight. Have at it, IDF.

#8 Olmert et. al. probably agreed to it because they knew Hamass couldn't keep it together for longer than it would take to run out and set up.
