#1 If this is true, I imagine that the result will be that more will die than the one life "saved".

On its face, it doesn't make sense. Are there any mitigating factors? Have these terrorists been declawed somehow? Are their efforts going to help Israel agains Hezb'Allah or something? How does Israel end up with the balance being in its favor?

With leaders like Olmert, who needs terrorists?

#2 Olmert may succeed where the Arabs have failed in making the US write off Israel. A nation that voluntary elects such self-destructive leadership may be beyond help and not worthy of our support.

#5 Now we know the "market price" for collateral damage vs. exposing troops to undue risk. Time to bring on the carpet bombing.
